A lake in Ińsko Landscape Park

The shoreline is mostly straight and the banks are high, covered with beech forest on the north side. The Ina River flows into the lake from the north-east, in a narrow, stony channel with fast-flowing water. The lake is used by scuba divers.

Springs and an old lime tree

Since 2007 a group of springs, Lake Chotom and the forest above Krzemień have formed the Krzemieńskie Źródliska inanimate nature reserve. The green Terminal Moraine Hills Trail (Szlak Wzniesieniami Moreny Czołowej) runs through it from Dobrzany via Ińsko to Cieszyno. In the village of Krzemień, on the southern shore, grows a lime tree more than 400 years old, a natural monument.
