Last Saturday I have started training for the upcoming tour from Częstochowa, southwestern Poland to Romanian coast. The route passed through Nakło-Chechło Lake which is probably the most beautiful artificial reservoir in the area. Since I have spent several hours chilling by the lake and loved it, I thought I'll give it a try and scratch a few words about this amazing destination.
The details of my ride are available in my previous post.

Lake Nakło-Chechło
Setting
The lake serves as popular backcountry destination and is surrounded with a large number of holiday resorts, camping fields, restaurants, bars, boat, canoe and pedalo rentals, along with many strolling and biking trails. Nakło-Chechło is famous for it's flat and sandy beaches. In bacteriological terms, the water is pure and corresponds to the 1st clarity class (tests are run each year by the sanitary-epidemiological station).

History of Nakło-Chechło Lake
Nakło-Chechło Lake is an artificial reservoir situated in Silesian voivodeship, near Pyrzowice international airport. In the late 60s, the sand was exploited in the area. In 1968 the exploitation has finished, and five years later the exploitation hollow was flooded with water and turned into a landlocked lake. Evaporated water is replenished with downfall and four underground springs.
