The area lies by Polish-German border, about 20 km north-west from Szczecin. The lake is located westward from Police, between Stolec, Rzedziny, Legi, Wegornik, Zalesie, Podbierze, Poddymin and Dobieszczyn. The area is quite inaccessible - lands around the lake are overgrown with forests and cut by drainage ditches and small water reservoirs. Nevertheless every year the place is visited by over 20 thousand people from Poland and abroad.
