Lake Wirowskie

Lake Wirowskie lies east of the village of Wirów, in a glacial trough, which is why it is long and narrow, with its axis running north to south. In the east an isthmus separates it from Lake Wełtyń.

Recreation by the lake

The lake serves a recreational role. On the eastern shore stand holiday cottages and several leisure centres. The entry on the lake describes it as a popular place for weekend recreation for residents of Szczecin and Gryfino.

The former railway line

From 1895 the Gryfino to Pyrzyce line ran south of the lake, with a stop called Jezioro Wirów. Services were suspended in 1996, and in 2002 a decision was taken to close the line.

Practical information

• The lake lies in Gryfino County, in the western part of the West Pomeranian Lakeland.
• The rules for using the centres and for access to the water are set by their managers.
• In the area stands the Church of Our Lady of the Rosary in Wełtyń.
