The Jezioro Gardno (German Garder See , also Gardersee ) is a beach lake in the Polish Pomeranian Voivodeship .
Geographical location
The Gardno is located in Western Pomerania , north of Słupsk (Stolp) . It is the second largest beach lake in Pomerania. The Gardno is only separated from the Baltic Sea by a spit one to two kilometers wide, running from southwest to northeast . On the southern edge of the lake is the village of Gardna Wielka (Great Guard) , after which the Gardno or Lake Garda is named.
Rowokół (Revekol) rises up on the eastern shore of the lake, with Smołdzino (Schmolsin) behind it .
Geological condition
The Gardno is traversed by the river Łupawa (Lupow) . On its short way from the lake to the Baltic Sea, it flows through the fishing village of Rowy (Rowe) .
The Stone Island is the only island in Lake Garda .
history
Before the end of the Second World War , the lake belonged to the district of Stolp in the administrative district of Köslin in the province of Pomerania . After the end of the war, the region with the lake was placed under Polish administration together with the whole of Western Pomerania.
Lake Garder in art
After the First World War , artists discovered Lake Garda as a picturesque motif. The painter Max Pechstein stayed repeatedly in Rowe from 1922/23 and also made Lake Garder the subject of his work. His painting “Morning Sun” (1929) shows Lake Gard with fishing boats and Revekol in the background. In 1931 he contributed a drawing for the “Garder See” magazine of the magazine Unser Pommerland , which shows a trap plate on the Garder See.
The Pomeranian homeland poet Klaus Granzow describes in his short story "The Dance on Lake Gardersee" an incident that is said to have happened in March 1945: While the front between the German and Soviet armies ran through the middle of the frozen Lake Garda, I had a German woman danced on ice skates on the ice. The painter Max Pechstein painted this scene at the request of a Soviet officer.
