Kalichtich
The Kalichtich ( Großer Kalichtich ), or Kalich , was a lake northeast of Opole . It was the largest lake in Upper Silesia and was located between the places Kempa , Sowade , Gosławice (Goslawitz), Kolonia Gosławicka (Goslawitz Colony) and Lendzin .
The lake still existed at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1812 its size was 1721 m. 106 QR. Area indicated. This is the equivalent of 4,395,595.23 m² or 4.39 km². Then the lake gave way to agriculture. The drainage of the potash pond was essentially carried out by the royal domain treasury. At the end of the 19th century the potash pond was completely drained.
The Kalichtich was fed by the Swornitze ( Swornica ), a tributary of the Himmelwitzer water . To the south of the Kalichtich there were two small ponds, which have now also been drained: the Adam and Eve pond. They also named a place Adam and Eve. Today Adam and Eve are part of Kolonia Gosławicka.
With the construction of the Turawa reservoir in the 1930s, a lake with a size of 24 km² was created near the former Kalichtich, which is fed by the Malapane .
