Some information about the pond
The area of this reservoir is 7000 ha, the maximum depth reaches 38.5 m, and the average - 14 m. It is not easy to judge about the origin of the name, because there are several versions. Some argue that it came from the Bashkir "weld" ("failed"), others - from the Turkic "Uldim", which means "dead", while others interpret the word as "blue bowl". And in 1892, the writer Mamin-Sibiryak visited the shores of this picturesque reservoir. The lake is 14 km long and 9 km wide. In the southern part, the pond has the largest dimensions, it narrows to the north, where it is divided into bays, peninsulas and islands. Here is such an unusual reservoir of Uvilda. The lake is located right near the Ural Mountains, a huge part of the coast is occupied by holiday villages, recreation centers, resorts, where tourists are always welcome.
