Picturesquely situated in the foothills of the Opawskie Mountains, Nyskie Lake was created as a storage reservoir in the valley of the Nysa Kłodzka river.
Clean water, a varied coastline and well-developed tourist accommodation mean that it enjoys great popularity among both locals and tourists. It is a paradise for anglers, water sports enthusiasts and sailors. Lovers of nature will not be disappointed either. The lake is situated in the Otmuchowsko-Nyski Protected Landscape Area, as well as in the Natura 2000 Special Protection Area for Birds, Zbiornik Nyski.
