Very often Lake Turgoyak is called "Ural Baikal". There is a reservoir in the Chelyabinsk region of Russia. The lake gained well-deserved popularity due to its crystal clear water, the incredible beauty of nature and the many secrets and legends associated with it.
On the banks of this "Pearl of the Urals" there are many recreation centers, cottage houses with all the benefits of civilization. Some people prefer just such a vacation. Others desire a complete connection with nature, which can only be achieved in a tent near a bright fire, admiring the dazzling brilliance of the starry sky.
This article is about the features of independent recreation on Lake Turgoyak by savages in 2019. About what should be foreseen, considered and where it is better to stay.
It can be called a unique creation of nature. This freshwater reservoir, according to conservative estimates, is at least 15 million years old. The lake is located at an altitude of 320 meters above sea level. Near the picturesque bends of the Ilmensky ridge.
The closest settlement is the village of Turgoyak, which is located on the right bank of the lake. Nearby is the small town of Miass. To get to the center of the region, the city of Chelyabinsk, dress up to cover a distance of 120 kilometers.
Lake Turgoyak on the map:
Many legends are associated with the name of the reservoir. The most romantic is that the lake was named after a Bashkir youth in love named Tura. If we take the Bashkir roots of the word, then in the translation “ture yak kup”, it means “a lake located on the honorable side”. Many centuries ago, only priests could approach the lake. The reservoir was sacred and forbidden to visit ordinary people.
Climatic features
The lake is dominated by a temperate continental climate. There are no severe frosts in winter or suffocating heat in summer. The mild climate is provided by the Ural Mountains, which block the path of cold air currents. However, frosts up to 20°C occur here in winter. At the same time, the lake is popular with vacationers at this time of the year, however, they prefer to stay in cozy recreation centers.
Attractions
On the territory of the lake there is the island of Vera - this is its main attraction. The peculiarity of Lake Turgoyak is that there are sharp drops in water level. The decrease is observed up to 2.5 meters. At this moment, the lonely island of Vera becomes a peninsula, which is connected to the western coast by a small isthmus.
On this natural "bridge" tourists get into the Old Believer skete. It was its founder (Vera) who gave the island its name. The skit is no longer active. But the archeological monuments of the island are interesting. These are tombs, quarries. Some buildings, according to archaeologists, are at least 3 thousand years old.
Currently, excavations continue to be carried out here. Every year, scientists discover interesting historical finds.
In addition to archaeological sites, natural ones should be highlighted. Among them, the most vivid impressions will leave:
- Lake Inyshko. It is almost adjacent to Lake Turgoyak. This little neighbor attracts tourists with excellent fishing and a mysterious legend. According to legend, it was here that Emelyan Pugachev hid his treasure.
- Kushtumga river. a very beautiful mountain river, where you can watch the "jumps" of trout.
- Mountain range Zaozerny. From a height of 750 meters, an incredibly beautiful view of the lake and the surrounding landscape opens up.
- Bald mountain. Its height is 582 meters. You can also climb here and enjoy the picturesque beauties of the area.
- Mount Linden. Opens a beautiful view of the surrounding nature. The height of the mountain is 683 meters.
Many tourists are captivated by the picturesque beauty of the local landscape. Therefore, even simple walks along the shore of the lake can be considered an excursion to the most picturesque places in the Urals.
Water
The water in the lake is special, it is very clean and enriched with oxygen. The transparency is just incredible. In calm weather, you can see the bottom at a depth of 10-17 meters.
Turgoyak is considered a deep lake. The average depth is about 19 meters, the maximum is 36 meters.
Despite the fact that 4 rivers flow into the reservoir (Pugachevka, Kuleshovskaya, Bobrovka, Lipovka), the lake is replenished due to groundwater. Therefore, even in summer, the water here remains cool. The warmest in July is up to 18°C. In September it already drops to +11 °C.
The bottom of the lake is very clean. Basically, these are large pebbles or smooth cobblestones.
The best holiday season
As already noted, the lake is popular with vacationers all year round. Of course, independent rest by savages is not quite suitable for winter or autumn, but for summer it is what you need.
Not only residents of the region come here to rest. Therefore, it is worth worrying about accommodation at the recreation center in advance. During the peak season, there may simply be no place.
But the shores of the reservoir are ready to accept "savages" without an appointment. Entrance to the lake is free, payment for accommodation in tents is symbolic. Despite the rather cool water even in summer, swimming and sunbathing is the main focus for family holidays.
There are especially many tourists on weekends. At recreation centers, prices for services rise sharply. The most attractive time for a beach holiday in nature is the period from late June to mid-August. Although at other times there is something to do here, especially since boarding houses and sanatoriums are starting to reduce prices and hold various promotions.
Summer
Even in summer, you should be prepared for the variability of the weather. The average air temperature is 22-25°C. At night, the air does not warm up above 13-14°C. Rainfall is possible. Rains happen 5-6 days a month. The driest month is August.
Rarely, but it happens that instead of rain it snows. Therefore, going on vacation to Lake Turgoyak, you need to be prepared for any changes in the weather and pack a wardrobe for all occasions.
Autumn
Autumn attracts tourists with its extraordinary beauty of nature. Rest in a tent can afford the real extreme. Even in September it is quite cold - the average daily temperature is about 10°C. It starts to rain.
Winter
Winter starts in November and lasts until the end of May. Rest "savage" is not welcome. But recreation centers wide open their doors. The Ural winter is famous for its snow cover and excellent fishing. For vacationers, a variety of winter entertainments are invented - snowmobiling and ATVs, tubing and sleigh rides.
Spring
Low season, in other matters, like autumn. Pretty cold. The average temperature is not more than +8°С. Severe cold snaps and frosts are possible.
How to get there
The answer to this question depends on the initial location of the tourist. So let's look at a few options.
Airplane
This option is suitable for vacationers who are at a great distance from the Chelyabinsk region. The nearest airport - Balandino is located within the city of Chelyabinsk. You will have to overcome the distance of another 150 kilometers to the lake itself. Approximate travel time 2.5-3 hours.
Train
Allows you to get closer to the "pearl of the Urals". The station is located in the city of Miass (15 km away from the lake). Public transport is constantly running to the place of rest. You can use the services of private carriers (taxi drivers). Cost of the trip: up to 300 rubles.
Bus
A large bus station is located in Miass. Flights from different cities come here. Further, we move to the lake by bus or taxi.
Automobile
The best option, especially for those tourists who do not live very far. It is hard to imagine a vacationer traveling by train with his own tent. And the car allows it. You can load all the necessary things and accessories into the car. This way of transportation allows you to choose the best place to stop and fully enjoy the beauty of the Ural nature.
First you need to get to Chelyabinsk. Then, along the Ufa-Chelyabinsk highway, drive to the city of Miass, an approximate distance of 100 km. It is difficult to get lost, as there are signs along the entire route. After we move out to the bypass and strive to the village of Turgoyak (we move along the Turgoyak highway). Then we ask the locals for the best place for setting up a tent camp.
Where to stay
As already noted, there are many boarding houses, sanatoriums and recreation centers on the shore of the lake. Local residents are also happy to make money on vacationers, providing them with their private property for temporary accommodation.
"Wild" recreation on the lake is possible in special places for tents. You can, of course, independently find the best place to place a tent, or you can take the path of least resistance - for a reasonable price, get a remarkably clean place near the water.
But it is worth noting that the entire area around the lake belongs to an ecologically clean, protected area. Therefore, an unauthorized vacation can result in expulsion and a fine. Campfires and camping are prohibited in many places. Therefore, it is advisable to stay only in a place specially designated for these purposes.
Another important point indicating the need to turn to paid vacation spots is the small number of beaches around the lake and the inconvenient descent to the water. Paid places are usually equipped with parking for vehicles, have a convenient descent to the water or a special staircase, often wooden.
You can not look for a sandy beach at all in places for a "wild" holiday. All of them belong to sanatoriums or recreation centers. Entrance to them is possible only for guests of the institution.
Such small difficulties do not detract from the dignity of independent rest. There will be many vivid impressions of the incredible beauty of nature. The beauty of the landscape is breathtaking at any time of the day.
Many recreation centers equip nearby paid places for placing tents. The price of the service includes entrance to the territory and use of the provided equipment, such as tables.
Paid entry is possible to the territory near the bases:
- Crystal;
- Blueberry and others.
Payment is made per day of rest. If you do not need any additional equipment, then this is from 200 rubles per day. On the territory of the camping there is a toilet, covered gazebos and a sauna (for an additional fee).
It is noteworthy that there is a pine forest around the lake, so the air is incredibly clean. You should not place a tent in the immediate vicinity of the water due to the changeability of the weather. It is better to move away from it by 15-20 meters.
Things to do on vacation
The main direction is, of course, swimming and sunbathing. In addition, many people come here for fishing. Fishing is usually free. There are many different fish in the lake - gudgeon, pike, catfish, perch, trout and other species.
Due to the special purity of the water, underwater fishing is very interesting here.
Tourist bases, which are in abundance on the shores of the lake, offer a variety of active summer holidays and entertainment:
- Walking tours to the island of St. Vera and the surrounding area;
- Hiking in the mountains and small mountaineering lessons;
- Biking;
- Riding on various boats on the water surface of the lake;
- Horse rides.
Such entertainment can be received by vacationers located in campsites. On the beaches belonging to recreation centers, there are many summer water activities - slides and other fun attractions. Some boarding houses offer diving and surfing as entertainment.
Hunting is a special kind of active recreation. In the permitted season, you can get a wild boar or a hare here. Hunting for squirrels and foxes is allowed. Of the birds, it becomes possible to shoot a duck, a goose, a chaffinch, a seagull and even a heron.
