After Lake Uvildy, the Irtyash is considered the second largest in the Chelyabinsk region. And in terms of water volume - the third. Irtyash is a lake stretching from the southwest to the northeast. Its length is almost 16 kilometers, and its width is 8. The maximum depth can reach 22 meters.
Description
There are two cities on the banks of this reservoir. One of them is Ozersk (a territory closed to the public), the second is Kasli. Part of the water area of Lake Irtyash is also prohibited for visitors. It is celebrated with white buoys in summer and with fencing in winter. From the lake, water is constantly supplied to the Mayak Production Association. And also Irtyash is the main source of drinking water for Ozersk.
The Irtyash is connected to neighboring lakes by several channels. Some even share a coastline with it. Two rivers flow into Lake Irtyash (Chelyabinsk Region) and the Techa River flows out (the main tributary of the Iset River). In the middle of the reservoir there are several islands, and there is also a small peninsula. Their length is from several tens of meters to three kilometers.
The name of the lake in Bashkir means "rocky place". And this corresponds to reality, since its shoresreally littered with stones. In places there are even rocks.
On the shore there are ancient settlements, abandoned mines, fortified settlements. The most ancient monuments have been preserved since the 6th century BC. On the shore, which is considered the urban area of Ozyorsk, there is a round rotunda with columns.
How to get to the lake
Holidayers and fishermen prefer to come to the Irtyash. The lake has many convenient entrances for transport, pedestrian approaches and parking lots. All of them are easily accessible. From the west and east you can approach from the side of the pine forest. Deciduous trees predominate on the eastern side. From the main road leading to Kasli and Ozersk, there are many turns to the lake. Any car can easily drive to the shore. There are recreation centers on the west coast.
Fishing on Lake Irtyash
Irtyash is a lake that belongs to the Caspian fish factory on the north side, and Kyshtym on the south. The only exception is the closed territory of Ozersk, since part of the reservoir is in the possession of this city.
Fishermen come here all year round. Winter "quiet hunting" is considered a favorite. Found in the lake:
- roach;
- ide;
- pike;
- perch;
- carp;
- zander;
- burbot;
- lin;
- ruff;
- dace;
- sign.
Last year, fish species such as omul and ripus appeared in the Irtyash. In previous years, there were a lot of crayfish in the lake. But now they are rare there. Although you can still catch them.
Seven stones of happiness
Irtyash is a lake that has unusual magical stones. According to ancient legends, all seven large boulders that are in the water near one of its banks have a magical property. They bring happiness. To activate the magical properties of boulders, you need to take turns climbing all seven. You should start from the farthest from the coast, which is considered the First Magic, and move towards the land. But according to legend, a ritual that brings happiness can work only in warm weather, when the waters of the lake wash the stones. Those who wish can check if this is really so.
