Holidays at the lakes

Since ancient times, our country is called blue-eyed. And it's not only because of the large and small lakes, which there are more than 10 000 in Belarus, but also about 20 thousand rivers and streams. In a small area of Belarus water bodies are different in origin, depth, clarity and length of treatment. The most unusual and interesting ponds belonging to Braslav Lake District, Pripyat Polesie and Naroch edge.

Some part of country in the North-west of Belarus, which is replete with ponds, is rightly called the Lake District. Crystal-clear lakes in this part have glacial origin, and thus characterized by a large depth and transparency of water. Here in the North, there is a lake Dolgoye, the deepest lake in the country - 53.7 meters. Here is the most expensive jewel in the crown of the Belarusian nature - Braslav lakes. It is a network of more than thirty lakes: a maze of straits, bays, capes and islets, dotted by lakes and connected by streams, rivers, canals, stretching over 300 kilometers.

Polesie in the South of the country is located in the basin of one of the most full-flowing rivers of Belarus - the Pripyat river, and is considered the edge of the river. However Polesie does not yield to the North of Belarus by the number of lakes that owe their crystal clear waters and numerous springs ducts. These lakes are usually small and are particularly prevalent in the basins of the rivers Dnieper, Pripyat and Sozh. Most of these bodies of water are the remains of a huge ancient body of water that once covered the region.

Picturesque landscapes and an abundance of water reservoirs attract attention to the Naroch edge. Few people know, but here is located "Belarusian sea" - so called the largest lake in the country lake Naroch. Windy lake, which is usually calm, turns into a stormy sea with heavy waves lapping on the shore and the shrill cries of gulls.

In addition to the natural lakes of Belarus there are artificial reservoirs, of which there are about 70. The biggest of them - Vileika and Zaslavskoye reservoir or, as it is often called, Minsk Sea.
