Young and mystifying lake located in the middle of a coniferous forest, has formed in 1911 as a result of an earthquake. The water has flooded the gorge right in the middle of the forest, leaving the trunks of trees rising above the surface of the lake. Today, those trees resemble the masts of shipwrecks, and at dusk, this place really seems mystical.
The lake reaches the depth of 30 m and is 400 m long. The climate is alpine. The average temperature in the summer is 30 °С during the day, +10 °С at night.
