Lake
The flat part of the Altai Territory abounds with lakes, among which there are salt ones. Some of these reservoirs are intended not only for fishing and recreation, but are also famous for their healing properties. In the Romanovsky district, one of them is located, not far from the village of Guseletovo. The salt lake, a photo of which can be viewed here, is very small. Its dimensions are only 3 km long and 2 km wide. The southern and southwestern shores are sandy.
Migratory birds during their migrations stop here to rest. It is for this reason that the area received such a name - Guseletovo.
