Lake Ros
Poland, Warmian-Mazurian Voivodeship
Description:
Lake Ros is located in the Warmian-Mazur Voivodeship, in northeastern Poland. The lake is at an altitude of 115 meters above sea level, and the greatest depth is 31.8 meters. The lake belongs to the Masurian lakes, occupying a vast territory of voivodeship.
Between the central and northern parts of the lake is an elongated peninsula. The lake is fed by the waters of the Vilkush, Candles and Konopka rivers. The coastline is predominantly curved, often changing direction. The southeastern and central banks are covered with extensive forests, the rest of the coastal area is occupied by floodplain meadows. From the lake flows a small river Pisa. The northern part of the lake is rather shallow, about one meter deep. Coastal reed land is a traditional habitat for waterfowl. Here nest herons and various species of ducks.
