The first miracle of Azerbaijan is the pink (dead lake) of Absheron.
Masazyrgel is the most unusual lake in Azerbaijan and, possibly, the most amazing in Transcaucasia. Its main feature is the pink color of water. The lake is located on the Absheron Peninsula and along the edges of the Pink Lake is surrounded by salt.
The lake is unique in its kind. Every year, travelers from different countries come to him to make sure that the water is really unnatural pink (especially in summer, under the influence of sunlight), even if it is poured into a separate vessel, and admire this creation of nature.
The lake is effectively bordered by a white belt of salt, and from a bird's eye view it looks like it was written by Monet, Van Gogh, a little muffled paint. It is not surprising that tourists often take pictures of Rose Lake, namely being on a hill in order to preserve vivid impressions for life and once again make sure of the ingenuity of nature.
Two more miracles of Absheron are the Ateshgah temple and the burning mountain of Yanardag.
