The artificial reservoir "Siewniok" was created on the site of a former sand exploitation in the 1960s. Surrounded by forests, it is a picturesque point on the educational trail "Szlakiem krowo wody" (A Trail of a Drop of Water), leading through the Jeleniak Mikuliny Nature Reserve. There is a rest area "Rendez-vous" by the reservoir, ideal for a break during a cycling or hiking trip. The routes around the reservoir are easy and lead through forest paths, which makes them attractive for cyclists on trekking or cross bikes.
