10. Rybnik’s „Sea”
To the north-east of the
built-up area, there is a
reservoir (Zalew
Rybnicki) on the river
Ruda, which serves as
a cooling water source
for the power station.
Surrounded by forests,
it offers swimming,
fishing, sailing and
surfing opportunities,
and due to the power
station's waste heat it is
warm enough all year
to be a habitat for grass
carps

entertainment galleries Rybnik Plaza and
Focus Mall.
