Blue Lake

Traveling through the natural sights of Abkhazia should definitely include a visit to one amazingly beautiful lake. The Blue Lake is a precious emerald against the backdrop of Abkhazia's natural landscapes. The clearest lake with sky-blue waters is situated on the shore of the river Bzyb. The lake owes its color to the minerals of lazurite, which lie at the very bottom. Its depth is not precisely known, but according to different sources, it ranges from 25 to 76 meters. The waters of the lake are distinguished by crystal clarity, although they may not seem transparent enough at first sight - this effect is created by the great thickness of the water, several dozens of meters, along with the precipitous shores of the lake, immediately going down.
