Gosławskie Lake is a shallow lake in central Poland known as Jezioro Gosławskie in Polish. It is located in Konin County in Gmina Ślesin, in the basin of the River Warta.[1] It is one of several lakes known collectively as the heated Konin Lakes because the water temperature is raised as a result of the outflow received from two power stations.[2]
Because of its east–west orientation and open aspect, and the predominance of winds from the north and west, the lake is a popular destination for windsurfers. The easiest access is from Konin-Gosławice in the southeastern part of the lake. Near here there is a castle, built between 1418 and 1426 by the bishop Andrzej Łaskarz, and the district museum.[3]
