Mysteries of Lake Turgoyak
Description:
Travel to the most beautiful lake of the Southern Urals - Turgoyak. Turgoyak is called the younger brother of Baikal for the crystalline purity of the water. In the middle of Lake Turgoyak there is a small island on which many millennia ago a stormy and mysterious life was boiling, which does not fit into the framework of the consciousness of modern man-century. We will learn the secrets and legends of the island of Vera, see the dolmens, relax on the shore of the lake.
We will discover the legends and history of the beautiful city of Chrysostom, we will visit the operating weapons workshop, walk through the fabulous park of P.P. Bazhov, and also climb the Bell Tower, from the observation deck of which we will admire the city surrounded by majestic mountains.
We will also visit the city of Miass and the Museum of the Ilmensky Reserve. We will learn about how the largest gold nugget in Russia was found - the famous "Miass triangle", we will visit the company store-cafe of the Chaokof factory and the Park of giant figures "Bureaucrat".
