At the end of the path, suddenly the lake beckons before
you, set in the midst of a green, forest-covered bowl
and surrounded by hills 200 metres high. Actually
the lake takes its colour from the leaves of the forest,
which is why it changes in every season. Spring and
summers are green, fresh... In autumn, as some leaves
turn yellow, the water reflects greens and yellows,
and during winter it turns blue, green and gray reflecting
the clouds and mists. The lake with its tree trunks
and changing colours resembles a picturesque tableau.
The hillsides are covered with birch and juniper among
many other trees. On the eastern side of the lake,
the steep naked slopes bear evidence of the landslide
of 300 years ago.
STROLLING THE AREA
Once there was a type of an 8-10 cm long leech (sülük)
living in this lake that people believed could kill
the painon any area of the body when applied to
the skin.
