Alakol Lake!
Today we will talk about Lake Alakol, to the shores of which millions of vacationers gather every summer, but few know how rich its history is!
Alakol Lake is located in the east of our vast Kazakh steppe. Its length reaches 104 km, the maximum width is 52 km, and the depth is 54 m!
Alakol Lake plays an important role in the tourism of Kazakhstan. In the summer, the beaches of the lake are not crowded. Thanks to the rapidly developing infrastructure, the vacation of tourists becomes more comfortable and more comfortable every year! However, the lake is valuable not only for the tourism community of Kazakhstan, but also as a historical site. About 300 years ago, the last major battle of the Kazakhs with the Dzungars-oirats occurred, as a result of which both sides suffered huge losses. After a long and bloody battle, Kazakh soldiers began to flock to the large lake, which was located near the Dzhungar Gate. Like the Paradise Lakes, which helped to heal soldiers of the Great Patriotic War, the waters of Alakol helped heal wounds of Kazakh soldiers.
Even the great ruler Genghis Khan stayed here with his harnesses to heal the weakened warriors. Lake waters belong to balneological, have a high content of radon. Clay on the shores of the lake also contains the mineral Shungit and many other salts, which is very beneficial for the skin and overall health!
Можно было бы усомниться в полезных свойствах озера, ведь со времен Чингисхана прошло уже столько времени, но есть доказательства и более близкие к нашим дням. Так, например, в ХХ веке сюда приезжали космонавты, чтобы очистить организм от космической радиации.
