Heyka Lake
The Heykasee ( Polish Hajka ) is a reservoir in the West Pomeranian Voivodeship in Poland .
From 1909 to 1911 a hydropower plant was built on the Radüe in Western Pomerania . The builders were two landowners from the von Heydebreck and von Kameke families . The water of the Radüe was dammed into a lake with a length of about 5 kilometers in a west-east direction and an area of about 100 hectares. The electricity generated was delivered to the Belgard intercity center . In 1939/1940 the dam broke, but the facility was restored during the war.
After 1945 the lake, like all of Western Pomerania, came to Poland. The reservoir still exists today.
