The most unusual rivers and lakes in the world. Unusual lakes on earth
Nature is the most amazing thing on planet Earth. She is unique and unrepeatable. Everything that is created by nature always surprises and fascinates with its perfection and uniqueness. There are many interesting things created by nature in the world. There are places that attract thousands of tourists from all over the world.
And, there are those who all try to bypass. In addition to interesting places on land, there are many amazing bodies of water.
It is about the five most unusual lakes on the planet that will be discussed further.
5. Colorful Lakes (Kelimutu)
For their unusual ability to change their color, they received the name Multicolored Lakes, which are located on the top of the Kelimutu volcano. These three unusual lakes arose as a result of the last volcanic eruption, when three craters appeared on the surface.
The lakes appeared only a few years later, after the eruption, when the depressions were filled with sediments.
Every couple of years, the color of the water in reservoirs changes, it can be from dark brown to turquoise. As scientists have found out, this is due to the chemical reactions of various minerals that are at the bottom of the lakes. Local residents have a legend that the souls of dead ancestors live in these lakes and their color changes depending on the mood of the deceased.
4. Lake Medusa (Palau)
Truly amazing can be called Lake Jellyfish, which is really teeming with these creatures. The reservoir is filled with two types of jellyfish: gold and moon. Fortunately, here they are not dangerous to humans, since they have lost the ability to sting due to the absence of potential danger. The sizes of jellyfish here are from those that are palm-sized to huge.
This terrifying and attractive body of water is located in the Pacific archipelago of Palau.
Although it is a lake, the water is salty, like in the sea or ocean. The lake covers an area of about 60 sq. meters, and its depth reaches 50 meters. At a depth of 20 meters, no living organisms are found, except for bacteria. For tourists who love extreme sports and diving, there is a great danger of chemical poisoning. The water at a depth of 15 meters is full of phosphates and ammonia.
3.
A unique lake called Laguna Colorado has a red color, which is why it is sometimes called bloody lagoon... This reservoir is located at the junction of three countries: Argentina, Bolivia and Chile. Despite the area of 60 square meters, the depth of the lake is at most 40 centimeters.
Water has the color of blood all year round, the saturation of which can periodically change, reaching up to purple, depending on climatic conditions.
The lake is inhabited by algae, which secrete such a pigment into the water. Some minerals are also present in the water, which also react to give a red color. Migratory birds constantly fly to this unusual reservoir, about 200 per season. Some of the rarest among them are flamingos, which look very impressive against the backdrop of a red reservoir.
2. Empty Lake (Russia)
In the vast expanses of Russia, namely in the Altai Territory, there is a mysterious Empty Lake, which is sometimes also called Dead. The thing is that no living creature lives in this, at first glance, ordinary reservoir. There are no fish, no algae, no snakes.
Scientists have carried out a lot of different tests and analyzes of the chemical composition of water, but could not figure out why living things cannot live in this water.
There have been several attempts to populate the lake with various species of fish and aquatic plants, but they were all unsuccessful. All types of living creatures died out in the lake for several days, a maximum of a week later. Solid mystery of nature.
1. Lake of Morning Glory (USA)
The first place is occupied by the unusual Lake of Morning Glory, which is located in America, in national park Yellowstone. This lake is unusual for everyone: shape, color, water temperature. There are no analogues to it! average temperature the water in the reservoir is 60 degrees Celsius. In its shape, the lake resembles a horn or a hunting pipe.
But the most interesting thing is the color, which changes quite often.
This is due to the huge amount of algae and small organisms that live in the reservoir. They emit different colors in the course of their life. The color of the water can range from light turquoise to dark purple. The depth of the reservoir is about 2 and a half meters. His behavior is also impressive. Sometimes, in the morning, the smooth surface of the water is calm, and sometimes it boils, as if boiling.
10 most unusual lakes on our planet
10 most unusual lakes on our planet
Spotted lake
The first unusual lake that we will tell you about is the spotted Kliluk lake. It is located in the province of British Columbia in western Canada.
Spotted lake The uniqueness of the lake lies in the fact that its water contains the largest amount of minerals in the world (among all lakes): magnesium sulfate, calcium, sodium sulfate, silver, titanium.
In the summer, most of the water evaporates, and minerals solidify to form natural rings around the water, which you can safely walk on. Water forming large spots on the lake in different time year, it is painted in a certain color depending on the mineral composition. This creates a spotted lake.
Chameleon Lakes are located on the Indonesian island of Flores in the crater of the Kelimutu volcano at an altitude of 1639 meters. The last time the volcano woke up in 1968, after which it fell asleep, and at its top in magma three depressions formed over time, filled with atmospheric precipitation.
Chameleon lakes of Kelimutu volcano. The resulting three reservoirs periodically change color from black to turquoise. Color changes occur due to chemical reactions between different minerals and gas.
For example, the concentration of hydrochloric and sulfuric acids is responsible for the green color, while the reaction between iron and hydrogen sulfide produces a reddish tint. The color of the water changes unpredictably, the last time the colors were: green, black and dark green. Before that, the lakes were painted white, turquoise and red. And even earlier, in 2009, the lakes were black, turquoise and brown.
30 kilometers from Dakar is pink lake... Initially, the lake was a lagoon connected by a narrow channel to the ocean. But the Atlantic surf washed up sand and over time covered the channel, so it was formed salt Lake... The salt concentration in the lake is 1.5 times higher than in the Dead Sea - 380 grams per liter.
Retba is a pink lake in Senegal. But the unusualness of this lake lies not in the salinity, but in its color. The lake has a unique pink color thanks to the bacteria living in it - cyanobacteria. Besides them, no one else lives in the lake. The color of the water ranges from light pink to brown. The shade depends on the time of day, cloud cover or wind. The strong wind activates cyanobacteria and begins to produce more pink enzyme.
The increased salinity of the lake makes it possible for local residents to earn a living. Every day, dozens of local men, on boats, go to the middle of the lake and, standing waist-deep in water, break salt deposits at the bottom of the lake with special sticks. The resulting salt is loaded into boats with shovels and transported to the shore. So that the water with a high salt concentration does not corrode the skin to non-healing ulcers (for this it will take only tens of minutes), the miners, before entering the water, rub themselves with shea butter extracted from the fruits of the sebaceous tree.
Due to the active extraction of salt, the pink lake Retba is getting smaller and smaller every year, and if measures are not taken in the near future to protect the unique lake, it may soon disappear from the face of our earth.
Lake "Morning Glory".
The lake is located in the USA in the Yellowstone National Park. The originality of the lake lies in its depth, color and temperature. The lake itself is small, but its depth reaches up to 2200 meters. The water in the lake changes color from deep purple to turquoise, and sometimes turns completely green.
Lake "Morning Glory". Since the lake is on the surface of the very large volcano in the world, then it behaves accordingly: it boils like water in a teapot, then it explodes like a geyser. Unusual name the lake acquired in 1883 due to its shape. The fact is that the shape of the lake is similar to the bindweed flower, which is called "morning glory" in the USA.
Unfortunately, due to the numerous tourists, the lake has lost some of its features. Tourists throw coins into the lake, which clogged the source that heats the lake, due to which the water temperature dropped to 50 degrees and the lake stopped boiling. But the park attendants do not give up and try to artificially cause the explosion of the geyser in order to clear the passage between the source and the lake.
Mirror lake.
Mirror Lake is located in southwestern Bolivia. In fact, it is the world's largest dried salt lake- Uyuni salt flat. Its area is about 10,582 sq. Km.
Mirror lake. 
It contains over 10 billion tons of salt. In the rainy season, the bowl dry lake completely filled with water and the surface turns into a real mirror in which the blue Bolivian sky is reflected.
Lake of jellyfish.
Lake jellyfish is located in the archipelago of the Republic of Palau. On the islands of the archipelago there are three unique, unparalleled in the world, lakes in which jellyfish - Mastigias live.
Each lake contains about 25 million individuals. It is completely safe for humans to be among jellyfish, because in the process of evolution in the waters of a closed lake, jellyfish have lost their ability to sting and do not burn at all.
Lake of jellyfish. Usually, jellyfish gather together in the middle of the lake, forming a solid wall and allowing divers to communicate with them.
Jellyfish Lake is very popular with tourists, but you can only swim on the surface. The fact is that at a depth of more than ten meters, the water becomes toxic and it is for this reason that no organisms, except for jellyfish, have taken root in the lake.
Asphalt lake.
An asphalt lake called Peach Lake is in a crater mud volcano on the island of Trinidad located in the seas The Caribbean.
The lake was formed after a fault in the Caribbean continental plate, causing oil to rise up the fault. And after passing through the mouth of the volcano, under the action of the evaporation of volatile substances, oil turns into asphalt.
Lake Peach Lake is the world's largest source of natural bitumen, with an area of over 40 hectares and a depth of 75 meters. Asphalt is being developed here, about 150 thousand tons of natural bitumen are mined per year.
Asphalt lake. The mined is exported to the USA, China and England, and is further used in construction.
Lake with bubbles.
Lake Abraham is an artificial reservoir created in 1972 in Canada for the purpose of collecting spring waters. In appearance, the lake is completely unremarkable, but with the onset of winter it attracts tourists from all over the globe to look at a natural phenomenon.
Lake with bubbles. What is the originality of this lake? Here's what. Every winter, the lake's ice cover is covered with an unusual pattern that forms in the ice from frozen gas bubbles.
The reason for this phenomenon is that methane bubbles rise from the bottom of the lake to the already frozen edge of the ice.
Lake with bubbles. They freeze at different depths and due to this, such an unusual visual effect is obtained. And look at their fantastic beauty.
This artificial lake is located in China in the Zhejiang province and was formed during the construction of a hydroelectric power plant in 1959. Some time after the construction of the hydroelectric power station, the artificial lake became a little shallow and bizarre sandy islands appeared above the water.
And after a few more years, all these islands were covered with lush grass and green trees, birds settled there and the islands came to life. In total, there are more than 1000 islands on the lake, which is why it got its name. The water in Qiandaohu Lake is so pure that a Chinese brand is based on it. mineral water Nongfu Spring.
Lake of the Thousand Islands Qiandaohu. And in 2002, two ancient cities were found under the lake, the age of which is estimated at about 1800 years. In the era of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the cities of Chun'an and Suyan were located on the site of the lake. During the dives, divers surveyed the city of Suyan and found that the buildings were in excellent condition. Now the local Chinese authorities are thinking how to attract as many tourists as possible here.
Ideas to drain the lake or arrange mass scuba diving were rejected. Now the plans are to create an underwater transparent tunnel through which tourists can move and see underwater attractions.
Green lake in Austria.
An amazing lake called Gruner See (Green Lake) is located in Austria in the foothills of the Hochschwab Mountains near the town of Tragoss. From August to April, it is an ordinary, unremarkable lake, 1-2 meters deep, around which there is a small park with a green lawn, cobbled paths and benches. But in the spring, the lake undergoes metamorphosis: the snow on the surrounding mountains begins to melt and violent streams descend into the lowland, where the lake is located.
The bowl of the lake is absolutely not designed for such an amount of water. After some time, the water begins to overflow the banks, and absorb the surrounding space. And along with it, benches, lawns, and walking paths go under the water. The depth of the Green Lake during this period increases to 10-12 meters, and thanks to the melted mountain snow, the water in the lake is absolutely transparent.
And they called it green only because the mountain, lush grass, after the flooding of the park territory, continues to grow under the water column and gives the lake an emerald hue.
Despite the fact that the water in the lake is icy, no more than 6-7 degrees Celsius, in the spring season it attracts a lot of tourist divers. After all, where else can you sit on an underwater bench and walk along an underwater path? By the end of July, the lake returns to its normal state, and the park becomes the property of pedestrian tourists ... ... until next spring.
Many times, photos of unusual ones were published on the chips. unusually beautiful and other unique lakes in the world. But apparently they are innumerable.
And if some of them are known for their beauty, others for their healing properties, and others for their size, then there are those that have become popular due to the unusualness of their nature or even its strangeness. There are seething lakes, disappearing and reappearing, and even asphalt and spotted lakes.
In the USA, in the Yellowstone National Park, there is a famous source - the Lake of Morning Glory. This small hot lake has a depth of about 2200 meters, in addition, it changes its color from dark purple to pale turquoise, and sometimes turns green. The behavior of the lake is also constantly changing - now it is calm, then it boils or even explodes like a geyser. Usually such explosions occur after seismic activity in the vicinity of the lake. The temperature of the lake is favorable for the multiplication of various bacteria. Unfortunately, many tourists have a habit of throwing coins into the lake, which clogged the source heating the lake and the temperature of the lake dropped to 100 degrees in depth and about 50-65 degrees on its surface. Nevertheless, the water in the lake remains very clean and clear.
2. Lake Kliluk (Spotted Lake) in Canada
Lake Kliluk (the famous Spotted Lake) is located in Canada, near the city of Osoyoos. Due to the fact that Kliluk contains the most a large number of(in comparison with other lakes) of mineral substances, summer evaporation of water on it leads to the formation of bizarre islands. Depending on the mineral composition and the time of year, these spots take on different colors. Minerals are so hard that you can walk on them. In addition, the waters of Lake Kliluk have a pronounced therapeutic effect, which is why the Canadian Indians consider this lake sacred and protect it in every possible way. The lake and the land around it officially belong to the indigenous people, so it is almost impossible to get to the lake because of the erected fence. but scenic view The lake can be enjoyed from the adjacent highway, which is used by many tourists who have heard about the history of the lake and the legends surrounding it.
3. Asphalt lake in Trinidad
The island of Trinidad, located in the seas of the Caribbean, became popular thanks to its Peach Lake (the famous Asphalt Lake). The lake is located in the crater of a mud volcano and is a natural source of asphalt, so you won't be able to swim in the lake. The asphalt lake was formed after the fracture of the Caribbean continental plate. Oil rose to the surface of the earth along the fault line. The oil that has risen along the volcano's throat, under the action of the evaporation of volatile substances, turns into asphalt, which in its properties is not inferior to asphalt obtained by industrial means. New asphalt still appears on the surface of the lake. Asphalt is also being developed here, about 150 thousand tons of asphalt is mined per year, which is mainly exported to the USA, China and England for use in construction.
4. Lake jellyfish in Palau
Lake Medusa, located in the Palau archipelago, has no analogues in the world. Despite the fact that this is a rather small closed lake, it is home to about 25 million jellyfish - mastigias. Jellyfish gather together in the middle of the lake, forming an almost solid wall. But as soon as a person approaches this wall, the jellyfish part to let the guests into their amazing kingdom. It is completely safe for humans to be among the jellyfish, since in the process of evolution, jellyfish have lost their stinging cells and do not burn. However, scuba diving in the lake will not work either, because at a depth of more than ten meters, the water becomes toxic. Palau now has three lakes inhabited by the Mastigias jellyfish. And although all lakes are separated from each other, the evolution of jellyfish in them is exactly the same, which is interesting for biologists.
5. Lakes Kelimutu on the island of Flores in Indonesia
The famous Kelimutu lakes are located on the island of Flores. Not only do the lakes have different colors, but they also change color. For example, a black lake can turn red, then turquoise, then green. The color of the lakes depends on the predominant minerals dissolved in their waters. The local Lio tribes have a legend about the islands, according to which the souls of the dead live in the lakes. So, in the red lake there are the souls of old people, the souls of the young dead - in green, and the souls of children - in white. According to another version of the same legend, the souls of murderers and sinners live in the red lake, the righteous and the old live in turquoise, and young people in green.
6. Loch Ness in Scotland
In Scotland, there is one of the most mysterious lakes - Loch Ness. Since in this country there are ghosts in almost every castle, and many other places are shrouded in legends and myths, this lake gained worldwide fame thanks to the Loch Ness Monster. Tourists come to the shores of the lake not only to enjoy the beauty of the lake, breathe fresh air, but also with the hope of seeing the famous monster. Therefore, dozens of different routes have been laid here - cycling, walking, and automobile. All these routes pass through the places where the mythical Nessie was once seen. Although no one has yet been able to see the monster, perhaps due to the high content of peat in the waters of the lake.
7. Gippsland Lake in Australia
Australia is home to the Gippsland Lakes, which are popular with tourists. Here is located national park Croajingolong with giant eucalyptus, white sandy beaches... However, in 2011, a phenomenon was captured on one of the lakes that made it especially popular. This is not the first time a tourist group vacationing on the lakes has noticed that the lake's waters are glowing with blue neon light. There are very few examples of natural bioluminescence in the world, and this mainly occurs on ocean depths where sunlight does not penetrate. In this case, the cause of the glow was a rare species of algae that had grown in the lake for several years. Noctiluca scintillans (Night lights) are not visible to the human eye, and the light emanating from them is yes.
In geography lessons at school, teachers told us that the most deep lake Baikal, and the largest reserves fresh water in Titicaca. However, today we are bringing to your attention a selection of the most unusual lakes in the world, which are distinguished by more interesting features.
Lake Hillier
Have you always thought that water should be blue, transparent, or at least gray-green? Then you have an incredible discovery! There are at least 8 lakes in the world that are not blue, but the real pink! This feature is determined by the alga - Dunaliella brackish. Naturally, all the lakes where she lives are salty. Except for one - Lake Hillier, which is why it opens our list. No algae was found in it, and no special reasons were found at all why the lake could be of an unusual color. However, aerial photographs claim that Lake Hillier is frankly pink in color.
Lake Melissani
You have always thought that a lake is a body of water, near which there is a beach and, most likely, you can swim if the water is clean enough. I don’t want to upset you, but you were wrong. Melissani is a lake with rocks instead of a beach. And all because Melissani is located deep in the caves on one of the Greek islands... Have you heard the expression "Water wears away a stone"? This is the same case. The water was looking for ways out and gradually washed away the rocks. In such an amazing way, the water destroyed enough space for itself, which became one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. Melissani is only partially illuminated by the sun, and the color of the water in the lake depends on the angle of incidence of the sun's rays - it changes very dramatically during the day. The water in the lake is so clean that it seems that the boats are not floating, but are hanging in the air.
Lake Hamilton Pool
From the same school curriculum, we know such a concept as "underground river". Since this river is underground, it means that it flows deep underground - it is logical, but not always true. This simple logic was refuted by the dome of one of the Texas underwater rivers - it simply collapsed, and it turned out that underground water became terrestrial too. The dome did not fall completely, there was something like an incredibly beautiful natural canopy of huge sizes - now it is located under it famous lake Hamilton Poole. All this splendor is complemented by a 15-meter waterfall. How can you not admire this beauty?
Crater lake
V modern world this feature of Crater Lake in the USA is probably the most valuable - it is the cleanest lake. For centuries, the Indians managed to keep the secret of the existence of this lake from everyone who tried to explore the nature of this region. However, it was certainly impossible to do this endlessly, so now this territory has been declared a national park. But the unusualness of the lake does not end there - in its waters you can see a small island of volcanic origin. But the most interesting thing is that a log has been floating in the waters of the lake for more than a century. Do you think this is not surprising? But the log is 9 meters long and it floats vertically!
Lake Nakuru
This lake is located in Kenya, but it was not people who chose it, but birds. There are a lot of them here - ducks, herons, cormorants, pelicans and many others, more than four hundred different species. But most of all there are pink flamingos! Pink inhabitants have filled the lake so much that you can hardly see the water, and you can see only as many flamingos as you can see!
Lake Kliluk
We are used to comparing lakes in terms of area, depth, cleanliness, but what are the rules to measure a lake, which consists entirely of small lakes. And they are all different both in depth and in all other parameters. The sun evaporates part of the lake's water, and lime paths become visible, which separate the small lakes. The territory is a nature reserve, which the indigenous inhabitants of the surrounding area have been striving for for a very long time. Due to the different depths and under the influence of sunlight, the water in the Kliluk lakes can change its color in a completely unimaginable way.
Jiuzhaigou lake
Strikingly transparent, completely surrounded by greenery that covers even the bottom - Lake Jiuzhaigou in China. You know that already at zero temperature, water freezes? This is not the case, the water in Jiuzhaigou Lake does not freeze at all. For a long time it was believed that the bottom of the lake is dotted with thermal springs However, after careful research, this fact was not only not confirmed, but no other reasons for the non-freezing of water in the lake were found. In this way, beautiful lake Jiuzhaigou is pleasing to the eye all year round.
Peach Lake
Asphalt is a substance invented and manufactured by man. Is not it? Not true! Lake Peach Lake is a direct confirmation of this. Six million tons of real liquid natural asphalt, what could be more surprising? The asphalt does not freeze; on the contrary, it flows and smokes. However, this does not prevent tourists from coming here not only to admire the incredible phenomenon, but also just to swim. Yes, and there are such places on the surface of the lake - common pure water... For those interested, there is a museum on the coast, where a variety of objects extracted from the waters of the lake are presented. The incredible size of the sloth's bone is not the most unusual.
Lake Matheson
We all know that a reflection of the surrounding world can be seen on the surface of the water if it is calm enough. However, the surface of Lake Matheson in New Zealand is so perfect that it can rival any mirror. The peaks of Cook and Tasman are reflected so clearly, all the smallest details are so clearly visible, that it becomes difficult to believe in it. But you should trust your eyes, so we just have to wonder at the incredible picture that opens up to our eyes at dawn.
On our planet there are a huge number of the most beautiful bodies of water, which are radically different from each other in their colors, composition, size and other characteristics.
1. Acid Lake, Sicily.
The Sicilian lake is the most dangerous in the world. Its waters contain a large concentration of sulfuric acid, which enters the lake from underground sources. Naturally, there are no fish in the lake and it is deadly for both animals and humans to come close to it. Locals nicknamed this reservoir the lake of death. However, it is precisely this composition of the lake that makes it stunningly beautiful.
2. Lake of jellyfish, Palau.
The Republic of Palau has a one-of-a-kind lake that is home to several million gold and moon jellyfish. Diving in the underwater space of this lake turns into a breathtaking adventure. You will not be able to see such an enchanting spectacle anywhere else.
3. Lake Morning glory, Yellowstone.
Another beautiful lake is located in Yellowstone National Park, in the United States of America. To be more precise, this body of water is a hot spring, which originally had a crystal blue color. Over time, numerous tourists of the park littered its waters with coins, which is why the lake changed color to an emerald hue in the very deep place, and at the edges it turned bright yellow.
4. Lake Peach Lake, Trinidad.
The title of one of the most unusual lakes in the world is rightfully earned by the asphalt lake Peach Lake. It is located in the crater of a mud volcano and you will not be able to swim in it. As part of this reservoir, there is natural asphalt, which has the peculiarity of pulling stationary objects into itself. This is the only lake you can walk on.
5. Lake Hillier, Australia.
This is one of the most beautiful pink lakes on our planet. The completely unexpected color of this lake attracts many tourists to Australia, and scientists still cannot determine the reason for this color of the water. The landscapes of this place are unique, because the pink lake is located very close to the coast Indian Ocean which creates a sharp contrast in colors.
6. Lake Kliluk, Canada.
Lake Kliluk is also called spotted, as the mineral rocks contained in its waters, depending on the season, form solid embankments that can be walked on. And between such passages there are small lakes, which shimmer in different colors from the sun's rays. To date, the territory of the lake is fenced off, and tourists cannot approach the water, although even the view of such water spots is stunning.
7. Gippsland Lake, Australia.
There is a completely unique luminous lake in the world, in the waters of which bioluminescent living organisms live. Of course, mainly the glow arises in the dark, but it can be seen during the day in the falling sun rays penetrating into the depths of the lake.
8. Lakes Kelimutu, Indonesia.
In Indonesia, you can see the fantastic landscapes of three crater lakes, which can change color according to their own mood. Basically, the lakes take on a color of blue, olive and blood red. To climb to the top of the volcano, a special trail was made for tourists, but not everyone uses it, but bypass it along the edge of the lakes, which is very dangerous due to the vapors emanating from the water.
9. Lake Balkhash, Kazakhstan.
This lake is special because it consists of salt and fresh water. A small peninsula divides it into two parts, which are strikingly different from each other. This lake is popular place for fishermen and hunters, as there are many species of fish and birds.
10. Lake Nakuru, Kenya.
This Kenyan lake is considered one of the most spectacular sights on the planet. Its unusualness lies not only in nature, but also in its inhabitants. Since the lake has a high salinity, there are practically no fish here, but this place is very fond of birds, namely, pink flamingos. The number of these birds is simply amazing, because here you can see thousands or even more species of large and small flamingos, which you don't see every day.
11. Lake of Five Flowers, China.
The lake is located in one of the reserves in China, Jiuzhaigou. This reservoir has several characteristics: it is the only local water source that does not freeze in winter time year, every season the lake changes its color from yellow to green, and its water is so transparent that through the great depth you can clearly see the bottom of this amazing pool.
12. Lake Hamilton Poole, USA.
In Texas, you can see very amazing lake, which is both underground and surface. Hamilton Pool has a 15-meter waterfall in its water area, beautiful arch from limestone rocks, and of course, a picturesque lake, which many tourists from all over the world love to visit.
