The Five Lakes system (Omsk Region) is of interest to both tourists and researchers. The former are attracted by the beauty of local nature, the abundance of fish, the cleanest ponds. Second - many secrets and legends associated with the origin of these lakes. That is why these edges are so popular.
The Five Lakes system (Omsk Region) combines such reservoirs as Linevo, Danilovo, Shchuchye, Urmannoe (Shaitan Lake), as well as Potenoe. Their arrangement is unusual - all are elongated in the same direction and are adjacent to each other. Therefore, it has long been assumed that once fragments from one meteorite fell into this place, leaving deep traces that were subsequently filled with water. There is also an opinion that water in all reservoirs is divided into “living” and “dead”, and if you swim in both, you can heal any ailments.
Danilovo Lake
Danilovo is the most popular lake among tourists. It is spread in the Kyshtanovsky district of the Omsk region. One kilometer from the lake is the village of Kurgan. The diameter of the reservoir reaches 1 km, the deepest place is 16 m, and the transparency of the water is 5 m.
The vegetation is mainly represented by reeds and cattail, which are located only near the coastline. Danilovo Lake itself is very clean. Around - a beautiful panorama of birch and aspen trees. The reservoir is rich in fish: tench, perch, pike. They attract fishermen here. The healing power of “living water” in the lake is not exaggerated: it treats skin diseases and gastrointestinal diseases. Of great value for tourists are deposits of blue clay, which is used here for medicinal purposes.
