Two kilometers from the Altai village of Artybash, on the right bank of the most beautiful Lake Teletskoye, one of the oldest and most famous camp sites, Golden Lake, is waiting for its guests. The local population reverently calls it Altyn-Köl.
The complex is located on the coastal terrace of the northern part of the lake. Rest in these places is an invaluable find for those who want to actively have fun and get the brightest emotions from fun and excursions. High, rocky steep shores and velvety tender greenery of this taiga region conquer at first sight.
Historical reference
Legends claim that in 1927 Vladimir Shemelev, a passionate tourism lover, discovered the place of the future Golden Lake tourist complex when he was looking for a parking lot and made a route map for guests from the capital and Novosibirsk. He prepared the glades, and found future personnel from local residents. And after a couple of days the first tourists came here.
A year later, the base is already known as the official campground for groups sent to the Altai Mountains by the Russian Tourism Society.
By the beginning of construction, the complex shifted slightly east, closer to Artybash.
In 1937, the tourist complex was called "Artybashevsky Tourist House".
After the war, the base is empty for a long time. But someone suddenly remembers the beautiful town of wooden buildings. And by 1952, it was being thoroughly updated and expanded. There is a new hotel complex, administration building, perkarni, kitchens and a large dining room.
By 1956, vouchers were issued to the base. They include a comfortable lodging for the night, a dining room with a terrific menu, a bathhouse, a station and boat rental, as well as qualified guides.
By the beginning of the 60s of the last century, thanks to a large reconstruction, the base has already received more than three thousand tourists. The boat fleet and equipment were significantly replenished, and a river boat was also purchased.
At the same time, the children's complex "Bear Bear" appears at the tourist complex. Young trackers spend all summer in these places, studying, having fun and relaxing.
By the end of the 80s of the last century, not only lovers of active leisure activities, but families with children who prefer a quiet and comfortable vacation, already arrived at the base.
