Ignacy Mościcki Dam

Highlight • Monument

The dam for them. President Ignacy Mościcki - a concrete and earth dam built in 1929–1932 on the Wapienica River and the Barbara Stream in Wapienica (today Bielsko-Biała district). The reservoir created by damming the water is called the Wielka Łąka lake.
The reservoir is located in the Wapienica Valley and is surrounded on each side by the hills of the Silesian Beskids. On the north and west side there are: Palenica, Wysokie and Podłra, and on the south and east side - the mountains: Stołów and Szyndzielnia.
The project of building a dam in Wapienica existed from 1911, and it was put forward in the course of attempts to solve the problem of water supply to the rapidly developing Bielsko. However, it was not until 1929 that the city council of Bielsko decided to entrust the construction of the dam to the Katowice branch of the German company Dyckerhoff und Widmann. The cost of building the dam, put into operation on June 26, 1932 and named the Dam. President Ignacy Mościcki, amounted to PLN 13 million at that time, which was the equivalent of nearly USD 2.6 million.
At that time, the Wapienicka Dam was one of the most modern facilities of this type in Europe.

Lake Wielka Łąka in Wapienica

Highlight • Lake

The lake was created as a result of damming up water during the construction of a dam on the Wapiennica River. The lake is 22 m deep and located at an altitude of 478 m above sea level. The lake is fenced because it is a sanitary protection zone, i.e. the reservoir is intended for consumption of water, so it is inaccessible to people, animals or practicing water sports. The whole valley and the flowing streams that feed the lake are subject to strict protection.
