Blue Lake (Goluboe Ozero)

FAQFrequently asked questions

What is Blue Lake in Crimea?

This is not quite a lake, but a small overflow of the Auzun-Uzen River in a rocky limestone bed, in the lower reaches. So if you were expecting a smooth body of water, it's more like a cold mountain puddle with character.

Where is it and how to get there?

Bakhchysarai district, the lower reaches of the Auzun-Uzenya, which flows through the Great Canyon of the Crimea through the reserve of the same name. Access - along the path along the river along with the rest of the tourists heading deep into the canyon.

Can you swim there?

You can, but be prepared: the water stays around 9-11 degrees even in summer. Locals and tourists bathe, but the screeching above the water is the usual music here.

Why is it called the Lake of Love?

It's a kind of romantic second name that visitors have attached to it. What exactly makes one fall in love - cold water or a landscape - the story is delicately silent.

What else to see nearby?

On the same river there is the Bath of Youth - the deepest erosive depression in the channel, where people who want to refresh themselves like to climb. The logical next point of the canyon walk.
