Reviews of Gorky Lake in the Novosibirsk Region
Feedback from visitors to this place is predictably contradictory. People are delighted with the lake itself: water, air, its healing effects, but are endlessly disappointed with the level of service, given its high cost.
Tourists warn that the rest will be wellness, not entertaining. There are a minimum number of entertainment events: swimming, sunbathing, sleeping, walking in the village, smearing with mud and taking pictures. If you are traveling with a child, then pay attention to the fact that water, due to the concentration of salt, very pinch your eyes. There are no shady areas on the shore, as the lake is located in the steppe.
But the water there is really healing and heals perfectly! Arthrosis and arthritis pass, the skin improves, the work of the nervous system normalizes. It is a pity that the service is limping on both legs, its lake cannot be healed. Minimum services are provided, the condition of the houses is average, as people who have been here write.
Experienced vacationers are strongly advised not to overpay for accommodation at the base, but to rent housing with locals who want comfort. If you are an unpretentious tourist, then a tent will be an excellent and cheap option.
