Various review guides report that more than 2,5 thousand lakes in the Sverdlovsk region have a total water surface area of about 1100 m2. And this is without taking into account the many artificial reservoirs that arose back in the time of Nikita Demidov, during the construction of ironworks and foundries. But even the most detailed reference book is unable to convey all the charm, beauty and uniqueness of the Ural nature.

Favorite vacation spots in the Middle Urals

The history of the Ural lakes is interesting! Many of them are natural monuments or shrouded in ancient mysteries, unsolved to this day. The lakes of the Sverdlovsk region are amazing and varied. But one thing unites them - they all give the joy of meeting with the magnificent Ural nature, give the opportunity to touch the soul with pure crystal springs, hear the birds singing at dawn and understand what happiness it is to have the opportunity to relax and rejuvenate in this blessed land.

No wonder the lakesThe Sverdlovsk region has long been a favorite vacation spot for citizens. Bases, boarding houses, sanatoriums located on picturesque shores offer a full range of services to those who appreciate a calm and comfortable pastime.

Unforgettable impressions remain for a long time, the nature of the Urals gives strength, returns to the roots, cleanses the soul and thoughts. The freshness of the winds, clear dawns and starry nights will open up a new world and make you look at life differently.

Fishing

The rivers and lakes of the Sverdlovsk region are in great demand among fishermen, because you can fish in all water bodies, and no special permits are required for this. Printing houses of the region have published many route maps and schemes of optimal access to water bodies, as well as booklets and reference books describing the fish that are found in them. The purity of lake water in different reservoirs is not the same, but you can catch perch, chebak and ruff in any of them. Some are so pure that crayfish live in them. That is why many tourists and fishermen choose the lakes of the Sverdlovsk region for recreation.

Lake Shchuchye

The pearl of the Beloyarsk region, Lake Shchuchye absolutely justifies its name. A rare fisherman leaves here without getting a valuable trophygood specimen of pike. Large perch and chebak are found here. The purest water and a small number of vacationers (due to heavy roads and inconvenient access) have become for fishermen and tourists who prefer a "tent" vacation, a kind of trademark that distinguishes Lake Shchuchye from other reservoirs. The Sverdlovsk region is famous for its beauty and open spaces, but when you want to be alone with yourself, you won’t find a better corner.

Attaining a little more than two kilometers in length and a little over one and a half in width, having a regular oval shape and low banks covered with mixed forest, the lake is an ideal place for outdoor activities. Silty-sandy bottom and five-meter average depth are ideal for a forest pond. Sandy beaches are equipped for swimming. Another advantage of this protected area is free entry and entry to the lake.

The way to Shchuchye

Lake Shchuchye is located 60 kilometers from Yekaterinburg in the direction of Kamensk-Uralsky. To get to it, you should turn right in front of the village of Bolshebrusyansky - to Chernousovo, where you need to cross the Iset on the bridge. It is only 8 km from Chernousovo to Shchuchye, but the road is unpaved and very bad, so only a powerful SUV can go through this section of the road.

Lake Tavatui

A natural monument of federal significance, the most beautiful lake Tavatui, stretching from north to south for ten kilometers and reaching a width of three kilometers, is connected by a canal to the artificial Verkh-Neyvinsky pond.

The purity and transparency of the water is ensured by about 30 rivers and streams flowing into it, the largest of which are Big Shamanikha and Vitimka.

The Sverdlovsk region protects this hydrological monument of nature, located at an altitude of 263.5 m above sea level. The maximum depth of the reservoir reaches 9 m, the average is slightly less than 6 m. On the shores of the lake there are settlements - Kalinovo, Priozerny and the eponymous Tavatuy. Vacationers are welcomed by many tourist bases and boarding houses.

Getting to the lake is easy. Being a favorite vacation spot and located just 50 km from the capital of the Middle Urals, the reservoir constantly receives vacationers, some of whom are delivered by electric trains, and some get by car along the road to Nizhny Tagil, turning 42 or 45 km.

Lake B altym

Small in area (7.5 sq km), but amazingly beautiful round lake B altym (Sverdlovsk region) is located in the direction of Serov and is only 15 km from Yekaterinburg. However, excellent fishing if you head there is guaranteed. An excellent set of almost all types of freshwater fish is represented in the waters of this reservoir. Bream, carp, burbot, roach, tench, crucian carp, perch and other fish are found here. Such an abundance provides a sandy-silty bottom and the lake is fed by ground-fissure waters, which maintain the excellent purity of the water and itssaturation with oxygen. The maximum depth of the lake reaches 6.5 m.
