Novozero

Belozersk district, Vologda region

Description:

The lake has very small parameters. The area of the reservoir reaches a little more than 12 square kilometers. The catchment area is generally over 140 square kilometres. Despite this, the lake itself is very deep. In some places, the depth reaches 10 meters. Therefore, you need to be extremely careful when swimming or riding a rubber boat.

In the vicinity of Novoozer there is Lake Andozero. They are connected by a narrow duct called Nova.

Although Novoozero is small, it has large islands. One of them used to be a monastery, the building of which is now occupied by a prison, where they are serving a life sentence. The other island is given to the village of the same name, where the staff of the colony mainly lives. There are residential villages along the shores of the lake. These include Ekimovo, Volkovo and Anashkino. But in the villages of Petryaeva Gorka and Pyzelokhta no one has lived for a long time. Homes have long been deserted.
