Markakol lake
Description:
On the territory of the natural reserve of East Kazakhstan in the mountains (near the border with China) stretches picturesque Lake Markakol.
The purest water in the lake is fed by groundwater and therefore in summer the lake warms up only to 17 degrees, and in November freezes. The color of the water in the lake changes shades depending on the weather: from blue and blue, to gray-black with silver overflows. The picturesque landscape of the coast amazes with its beauty. The lake is rich in valuable species of fish (charius and uschuch).
You can get to the lake from Ust-Kamenogorsk by car.
