Lake Wulpińskie near Siła

Nearby Lake Wulpińskie covers 706.7 hectares and consists of two parts connected by a strait about 100 meters wide. The area figure gives a tangible sense of its size; the strait explains how the two sections are connected. So if you are comparing bodies of water and geographical features when choosing a destination, you will find more here than just a lake name: its area and layout together give a concrete picture of the surroundings. The lake’s division into two parts and their narrow connection describe it from a different perspective than its overall size. This is a useful distinction if you first want to get your bearings by looking at the landscape.

Place name and history

Today, Siła refers to a settlement belonging to the village of Sząbruk. The place name has two historical associations: the name Siła originally referred to a mill; it was also adopted from the former name of the nearby lake, Wulpings. The lake is now called Wulpińskie. Wulpings and Wulpińskie are therefore former and current names for the same body of water, not two different lakes. This distinction in time helps clarify things: Wulpings is the former name, while Wulpińskie is the current form. Sząbruk is the village to which Siła belongs today; Wulpińskie is the current lake name, while Wulpings is the former name. This makes it possible to distinguish the village affiliation from the lake’s history. The connection to a mill is also part of the history of the name Siła.
