Lake Voge

Lake Vozhe is the largest lake in the Vologda region and the entire northern region. Its area is 422 kilometers, the length of the lake is also impressive - 64 kilometers. The width is from 7 to 16 kilometers. Such dimensions give the lake an elongated shape. Previously, Lake Voze was called Charonda, as on its banks was once the magnificent city of Charonda. The city grew on the site of a waterway to the White Sea through Lake Charonda. When the route was no longer used, the city literally began to die, turning first into a small village, and then into an empty, dilapidated ghost town.

Lake Vozha is shallow, the greatest depth is about five meters. In the center of the lake is the island of Spassky, where you can see the ruins of an ancient monastery of the XVII century.

It's very rich in fish. Here you can catch perch, pike, perch, bream, ulcer. The shores of the lake are very beautiful, covered with greenery, forest, in some places wetlands.
