Hidden between the steep spurs of the mountains amazing beauty lake - Yakty-Kul. The purest, clear fresh water, crystal mountain air, amazing nature, a wonderful variety of plants and animals - for the extraordinary characteristics of Yakty-Kul and its environs are recognized as a natural monument and protected by the state. The location of the lake is the Republic of Bashkortostan.

Scientists cannot name the exact age of the lake, but along the banks of the reservoir, archaeologists have discovered sites of ancient people. Formed as a result of the bowing of the earth's crust, the lake has an area of ​​7.7 km². Its length is just over 4 km, width is about 2 km. Like any mountain reservoir, Yakty-Kul is different great depths, in some places reaching 30 m. The lake is "feeded" by mountain streams, because of this, the water in it is always cool. One river flows out of the reservoir - the nimble and nimble Yangelka.

Legends of Lake Yakty-Kul

This colorful place is shrouded in mystery. There are legends about the name of the reservoir. The lake has several names, which in different time he was praised. Some of the oldest that have come down to the present are Mauzdy and Ajakhaly. Mauzdy among the Turkic peoples is a formidable mythical creature, meaning "bottomless, insatiable." And Adjakhaly is a terrible monster, which, according to legend, once lived in a reservoir, disturbed the surface of the lake and scared the animals and desperate fishermen who dared to fish there to death.

Since the 16th century, the lake has been called Yakty-Kul, which means “bright lake” in Bashkir. Russians have a different name in everyday life - Bannoe. An interesting legend is connected with him. During the campaign led by Emelyan Pugachev, the rebellious army stopped for a halt in this place. Before an important battle, Pugachev ordered the soldiers to wash themselves thoroughly with clean lake water. In those ancient times, the process of ablution was called "bathing." Hence the second name of the lake. That is how it is indicated on the maps.

One of the most beautiful lakes in the Southern Urals, Yakty-Kul invariably attracts thousands of people. You can have a wonderful holiday all year round. In summer, everyone rushes to the beach, and in winter - to conquer the snow-covered mountain slopes. In this luxurious place with amazing nature and crystal water there are rest houses and resort complexes. The Yakty-Kul sanatorium is especially popular. The climatic and mud clinic not only energizes and restores strength, but also relieves many ailments.

Throughout the Urals, the glory of the lake thunders as a wonderful fishing place. Fishing in Yakty-Kul is great. In addition to the originally inhabited species of fish, whitefish and stickleback were launched into the reservoir at the beginning of the last century, which took root perfectly. All lovers of "quiet hunting" note a huge number of very different fish in the lake, including very large ones - more than 2 kg - specimens, and an excellent bite. And a powerful fish population is one of the indicators of the ecological cleanliness of the area.

Rest is good, but good rest is even better, right? After all, holidays are different. For example, I have rest for work (these are various promotional tours, trips to partner programs with hotels), and sometimes rest for rest . This is when I take my family and just go somewhere. Where does it go in the head.

But it often happens that one type smoothly flows into another. It looks something like this: we are going to go somewhere to relax, we start to study information on the Internet, and we are surprised - oh, why is there so little useful information about this place? And the next thought - why not write an article about this on my blog?

So with our last trip to Lake Bannoe, which is located in the Abzelilovsky district of Bashkiria, it turned out something like this. Once upon a time, I often rested on Bannom, and during these May holidays I wanted to refresh my memories. I got on the Internet to see what was new there in terms of entertainment, and ... I felt sad. In response to the query “rest on Bannom”, search engines, in addition to several sites of local hotels, gave out solid masterpieces of SEO optimization.

For example, I was amused by this description of the resort: “ do not be surprised to hear a statement that someone is going to rest on Lake Bannoe in the dead of winter. All SLCs are here with good service and a solid list of services, which means that Bannoye does not experience a shortage of vacationers ..." Wow! Just like in that joke - and here they also go skiing! And let me ask you guys - what are ALL GLCs? There is exactly one of them here - Metallurg-Magnitogorsk SLC. Or did you also place the neighboring Abzakovo on Bannoy? Have you yourself been to Bannom? Or your copywriter who wrote it?

In short, friends, if you are looking for normal information about holidays on Bannom, read this article. And if you are interested in Ski holidays on Bannoy or in Abzakovo, then read these articles:

I love this place and will tell you everything about it that I know myself.

Rest on Lake Bannoe: a true story

You can spend four days of rest on Bannoy very exciting and outstanding. We got out there for these May holidays. And now I will tell you how to get there, where to stay and what you can do there.

How to get to Bannoye from Ufa

Most of you will most likely go to Bannoe by car . I am writing specifically for Ufa residents, because the residents of Magnitogorsk and the surrounding villages are unlikely to have such a question. So, friends, everything is simple: we fly 300 km along the route passing through Arkhangelskoye, Inzer, past Beloretsk, through Abzakovo and Novoabzakovo. I write “flying” because the road surface is very good, compared to what it was 5-7 years ago ... There are speed limits, but without fanaticism, as they say. Yes, and the serpentine - more than 100 km of the route will pass through the mountains - will also not allow you to particularly accelerate.

But it was here that I learned how to drive a car well on mountain roads, which was very useful to me at a new place of residence, in.

After you leave the mountains (and this is about 285 km from the beginning of the route) and drive another 5-7 kilometers, look at the signs - there will be a turn on the right side on Tashbulatovo and on sanatorium "Yakty-Kul" . After the turn, the road goes through the villages of Tashbulatovo, Kusimovsky mine, and you will arrive at the village of Zelenaya Polyana. Many sanatoriums and guest houses are located there. Well, just Lake Bannoe it will be hard not to notice.

More from can be reached by shuttle bus (it is better to specify the numbers and schedule, they change from season to season). You will drive for five hours. By train you can also get from Ufa: you go by the Ufa-Sibay train to Magnitogorsk, and from there by minibus, there are much more of them than from Ufa.

Why such a name - Bannoye?

It was the lake that gave its name to the whole resort. It is of tectonic origin and is the deepest lake not only in the Trans-Urals, but also in the entire republic as a whole: the average depth is far from small - 10 meters, and in some places reaches up to 30 meters. km.

Why is it called Bath? I know such a legend: once Emelyan Pugachev stood here with his army and ordered a bath day. As a result, the lake got such a name. And in the Bashkir language, the lake is called Yakty-Kul, which means “bright lake”. The water in the lake is really very clear. Since 1965 Lake Bannoe has been a natural monument.

And for me this is one of the most favorite places in all of Bashkiria. And one of the most beautiful!


Where to stay on Bannom

It all depends on what kind of rest you need. The options are:

  • If you want to relax with treatment / recovery, then choose one of the sanatoriums: « Anniversary» or "Yakty-Kul" , Holiday House "Birches", OK "Ural Dawns".
  • for all other cases, numerous guest houses and hotel complexes, which are becoming more and more every year on Bannoy, are perfect.

We were sheltered this time Mayak Hotel . I remember this hotel once because its high round tower really looks like a lighthouse building. And this is one of the first hotels on Lake Bannom, which began to offer its guests not just an overnight stay near the lake / ski center, but a really good rest: 3 meals a day, animation, excursions.


This time we went to Bannoye with a full complement (with children), and therefore we really wanted just such a organized recreation. And looking ahead I will say - for family vacation Mayak Hotel is just a great option ! But I have a separate article about the hotel -. And now I want to tell you what you can do on Bannoy, if it's not about ski holidays and not about a purely beach holiday.

Things to do in Bannom

Let's do this: I'll tell you what we usually do on Bannom, and you decide for yourself whether it suits you or you should look for other entertainment. Here we love to do the following things:

Behold


So, our vacation began with a check-in in a bungalow at the Mayak Hotel. We arrived there already in the evening, and, having placed our things in a spacious two-story room, we set off along the road to the lake: to combine the evening promenade and exploring the surroundings. It was very interesting for me to see what has changed on Bannom during the time that I did not come here.

And I was pleased to state that the resort is developing. If earlier there was a solid construction site around Mayak, now it looks like a fairly well-maintained cottage village. Almost like Krasnaya Polyana. Only paved sidewalks are missing. And some cozy coffee shop...


And so: the houses around are decent, and the mountains are beautiful. And, of course, lake ! Stepping on its shore, you plunge into a special meditative state. And how many gorgeous shots were taken: at dawn, at sunset, on a hot afternoon, on a moonlit night ...

So, without changing the tradition, I take a few photos on the phone, and we go to the nearest store to buy something for tea. While the children are venting their energy in the playground, we are sitting at a table outside, in front of our bungalow, drinking tea and getting used to the silence…

Do sport

The next day I have a wake-up call at 7 am - my daughter calls me for a morning run. She needs to keep fit - she trains in ski school(By the way, you can see her results in the competition "Snowdrop 2017", held at the same SLC "Metallurg-Magnitogorsk" on March 27-30, 2017, on the official website of the resort). As a ski instructor, I also have no right to lag behind! So sports are held in high esteem in our family.

Prices for the services of instructors in the SLC "Bannoye" are certainly lower than in Krasnaya Polyana!

Run to the lake, warm-up on the shore (stretching, etc.), run back up the hill to the "Mayak". It's such a thrill to start your day with outdoor sports! Yes, even in such a beautiful place as Bannoye.

Also, from sports entertainment on Bannom, you will probably be interested in the following:

  • bike rides (both mountain and road), many hotels rent them;
  • roller skating (we brought our own, but you can also rent it, in the same Yubileiny)
  • hiking on mountain trails;
  • karting (on the territory of the SLC)
  • horse rides

On the lake itself in the summer they go in for windsurfing, ride on catamarans (2 or 4 seats), on boats. Motor sports are also popular here: it's not a problem to get through on a hydro scooter (5 minutes - 600 rubles) or on a boat (5 minutes - 650 rubles). Or you can go sailing: a trip on a yacht costs 2,000 rubles for 1 hour. I definitely like this one better :-)

Climb the mountain on the cable car


This is a must-do when you come to rest on Lake Bannoe! It is better, of course, in clear weather: then the views from the mountain open up - you can’t take your eyes off! In good weather, you should see 11 lakes from the top of the mountain!

For me in the last two years, the rise in the booth cable car up the mountain is the road to and from work, in fact. Because exactly the same 8-seater cabins lift tourists to the slopes of the Krasnaya Polyana resorts. But for ordinary people, such a walk in a cabin to the top of the mountain is also a kind of attraction.

Every minute more and more impressive view opens up from the cabin… The entire ascent takes about 7-8 minutes.

And here we are at the top of the mountain.


In winter, strong winds often blow here, knocking down. But now it is much more comfortable to be here. As you exit the cable car, go to the right, around the Mountain Gorge restaurant. There, a few meters below, there will be a ledge of large stones - this is an excellent viewing platform, an ideal place for photo shoots.




This trail descends into the gorge and then rises to another ridge, after which it leads to a waterfall. In summer, this route is available, in principle, to everyone. Special sports training is not required, except for comfortable shoes. It all looks like this in the summer:


But now, in spring, there is snow in the gorge.


And the small streams that flow along the bottom of the gorge and which are easy to jump over in summer are now, most likely, a completely different sight. So I advise you not to rush to visit this waterfall at least until mid-May.

But it can also be seen from this slope. After walking 500 meters along the path, we went to an open area and heard the sound of a waterfall!


I can imagine how grand it must be up close! Well, this time we admired the waterfall from afar - through the lens of the camera ... We return to the cable car and go down the mountain. Here, below, you can ride a map, visit the rope "Adventure Park". There are trampolines and electric cars for children.


There is also a cafe so you won't go hungry. Though the best option will sit in the same restaurant "Mountain Gorge" on top of the mountain, enjoy the beautiful view ...

Go trekking and just walk!

In principle, climbing on foot any of the hills surrounding the lake is excellent trekking for you! The physical activity is moderate, the views from the top are amazing. For example, in the afternoon we climbed a hill right from our Mayak Hotel (the children were left at the hotel, they found something to their liking there - one hung in the playroom, the other sat down with her favorite book).


After many months in Krasnaya Polyana, such trekking has become a life habit and a necessity for us at the same time. An ideal load on the muscles, training the heart and lungs ... Someone smart said that hiking in the mountains can be equated with visiting a temple. Agree one hundred percent! Brains are cleansed, energy is restored. In general, I recommend.


But with the children we went for a walk in the evening to another place. In the best way, a family walk can take place on the territory of the Yubileiny sanatorium. There is such a chic park area - any Turkish "five" will envy! I remember that the passage there was once paid. But, perhaps, this is only in summer - in order to somehow control the number of people who want to go swimming on the beach of the resort (the beach is not rubber!)


Now, in the spring, no one charged any money for access to the territory. And our children rode at full speed on their scooters along the well-groomed alleys of the sanatorium! Here, in the sanatorium, there is also a rental point - from bicycles to roller skates and self-propelled pedal carriages (well, I don’t know what it’s called - a four-wheeled cart with seats and pedals).


I have always liked to go for a walk to Yubileiny: it is safe for children, comfortable for adults. There is a beautiful embankment, you can take good photos on it. There are gazebos and sports grounds. And for the kids, there is even an amusement park with rides. In general, spending a couple of hours here will be a good decision.

We walked here until dark. A good sleep after such a day was provided to all of us!


What to go to see near Bannoye

And the next day, immediately after breakfast (which is very tasty at the Mayak Hotel), we plunged into the car and went to little trip to nearby attractions.

A 15-minute drive from Bannoye, in the village of Elimbetovo, there is dog kennel "White Doctor" . It can be interesting for children, and for everyone who is obsessed with dogs. TIbetan Mastiff, Central Asian, Caucasian Shepherd and Japanese Spitz - such breeds of dogs are bred in this kennel. In the kennel, everything is organized so that the dogs are in conditions that ensure their safe and comfortable maintenance. All dogs, as well as puppies from 3 weeks of age, live in outdoor enclosures and spend a lot of time outdoors. Experienced cynologists and handlers work with them. Don't know who handlers are? Take a tour of the nursery and find out! Also on the tour you will get a lot useful information about the maintenance, upbringing and breeding of dogs, it will be possible to play with puppies and have a good time in the fresh air.

Tours are held at 12:00 and 15:00. The cost is 300 rubles per person, children under 5 are free. We arrived at 11 o'clock in the morning, because. didn't know the schedule. We didn't have to wait an hour. We decided to stop again on our way back.


11 extraordinary larch trees growing in a small clearing are a natural landmark of the Abzelilovsky district of Bashkiria. Their exact age is not known. In the 1990s, scientists examined the Kuzhanovsky larches and came to the conclusion that such an unusual shape of trees is most likely associated with genetic changes, i.e. mutation. Perhaps, several centuries ago, one tree grew here, in which gene changes occurred, as a result of which the lateral shoot, rather than the central shoot, received an advantage in growth.

Finding this miracle of nature was not so easy. In the village of Kuzhanovo, no signs of it were found. They began to ask the residents. One of them gave us directions: we need to get to the building of the village club, turn from it into the alley, go along the alley beyond the village gardens and then keep the path along the country road over the hill.

But there are forks along this road too. And we first took to the left. As a result, we arrived at a beautiful clearing:


But no larches were observed. And only having risen even higher on the hill, from afar they saw these unusual trees on the other side of the hill, in the meadow. We got back into the car, drove around the hill on the right (and you better keep to the right right away). It is advisable to go in dry weather - this road in the rain is probably not the best ...

And here are the leaves themselves. Lush, majestic, beautiful trees:


Of course, these trees are unusual for our Ural latitudes. And I liked that they were surrounded by a fence, they made such a kind of quiet haven, with benches, gazebos. According to legend, it is these trees that grow in places of innumerable natural wealth. Well, it was enough for us just to sit under the crowns of sprawling trees, listen to the singing of birds and the rustle of the wind in their crowns, in order to feel the beauty of this place. besides us, there are no other visitors. This is nice.


Leaving the fenced area, we close the gate - as we are asked to do on the poster.

Magnitogorsk is unofficially called the "metallurgical capital of Russia". Indeed, a huge metallurgical plant became a city-forming enterprise, and the city itself was initially completely and completely adapted to its needs. Magnitogorsk is divided in half by the Ural River, along which conditional border between Europe and Asia , almost the entire left bank is occupied by a plant and other industrial enterprises, and the right bank is built up with residential areas. Unfortunately, this neighborhood is not the best way reflected in the urban ecology. Gray snow in the dead of winter and bad roads - this is how I remember this city on my last visit there ...

But now, in May, the city looked quite presentable. We drive along Prospekt K. Marksa to Gostiny Dvor. No, we are not particularly interested in shopping. Although this is where huge shopping malls. And by the way, once those brand stores were the first to appear here, which were not even in our larger Ufa.


And we just buy the necessary products in one of the hypermarkets and keep our way to Temple of the Ascension . It is right next to this shopping paradise. And if you break away from the colorful banners shopping centers and look in the direction of the river, then a snow-white seven-domed handsome temple will appear before your eyes. It is one of the most significant shrines created in our country in recent decades. Its construction began in 1989, but in the mid-90s, due to financial difficulties, it was suspended. Construction continued ten years later. In this case, the metallurgical plant provided solid assistance, but other enterprises and organizations did not stand aside, donating funds for the construction of the temple.


It takes us about half an hour to visit the temple: for about 20 minutes we only look at the huge iconostasis in the temple. Children at this time play in the playground next to the temple. In general, everyone is in business.

Further, our route passes along Lenin Avenue (well, the local authorities were not original with the names of the streets, right?) towards Victory Park . There is the famous Monument "Rear - Front" . Fifteen-meter figures of two men can be seen from afar.


This composition is the first part of the Sword of Victory triptych. The second monument - "Motherland" - is located in, the third - "Warrior-Liberator" - in Berlin. As planned by the authors, the sword was forged on the banks of the Urals, raised in Stalingrad and lowered in Germany after the victory. The bronze monument depicts a worker handing over a victorious sword to a warrior, their location is very symbolic - the worker's face is turned towards the metallurgical plants, and the soldier looks to the west, where the battles of the Great Patriotic War rumbled. The monument symbolizes the fact that without great work in the rear, success at the front was impossible. After all, half of the tanks and a third of all the shells supplied to the front were made from the metal mined in Magnitogorsk during the war years!

The site next to the monument now seems to serve as a meeting place for local youth. It is understandable: from this place it opens very beautiful view to the river, and on the steps of a kind of amphitheater going down from the monument, it is so convenient to sit and chat with friends ...

There is a park around the monument. But we no longer go to it - the children whine that they are tired. So we load into the car and drive to the exit from the city along that Lenin Avenue. By the way, in its upper part, from the intersection with Kalinna Street and to the intersection with Lomonosov Street, there are also quite picturesque squares: University Square, Dimitrov Square, Lomonosov Square. And in general, this part of the city can be called a quiet center.

On the way back we had a scheduled visit Dinopark . The family complex "Dinopark" is located in the village of Ulyandy, about halfway from Magnitogorsk to Bannoy, along the Beloretskaya highway. So if you are going to rest on Bannom with children, then you should definitely go there!

In addition to the dinosaur park itself, there is also giant insect park and children's complex with attractions . To visit all this costs 500 rubles. from an adult and 250 rubles from a child. The park even has its own restaurant and hotel complex. This is convenient for those who will drive past, from afar.

And our Gavriks worked up so much that day that they fell asleep on the way out of Magnitogorsk. And that's why we canceled our visit to Dinopark. This did not particularly upset us or them - we already had enough impressions during these days of rest on Bannom Lake.


This list of places that you can visit while relaxing on Bannoy can be continued: Maryina's tears waterfall, Devil's finger rock, Mogak waterfall ... So you will never be bored on Bannoy!

Lake Bannoe also has a peculiar toponym in the Bashkir language: it is sometimes called Yakty-Kul, which means “bright lake” in translation. Where did the name "Bannoye" come from? - A common story is connected with this about how Yemelyan Pugachev in 1774 ordered the army of his rebels to take a steam bath in this reservoir before the road to the village of Magnitnaya - we cannot vouch for the authenticity of this legend, but the name of the lake is really interesting and very peculiar.

Lake Bannoe is located in the Bashkir Trans-Urals, surrounded by three mountains - Kutukai, Karanyalyk and the spurs of Yamankaya. It gives life to the Yanegelka River, the right tributary of the Urals itself. Bannoye is located in the Abzelilovsky district of our republic, about 28 kilometers northeast of the village of Askarovo - the local regional center - and 45 kilometers north of Magnitogorsk.

The area of ​​the mirror surface of Bannoye Lake is 7.7 km?, while the average depth is far from small - 10 meters, in some places it is rumored to reach up to 30 m. and all of Bashkortostan.

Rest on Bannom

Rest on Lake Bannoe has long and firmly become one of the most popular leisure options for residents of our republic and its neighboring regions. Thanks to such popularity of these places, nature and the lake itself, a huge number of recreation centers, small hotels and children's camps immediately grew around. Many of the vacationers in the Bannoy area should have heard about the Yakty-Kul sanatorium, and the Bannoye SLC (another name is Metallurg-Magnitogorsk) and the Abzakovo recreation and sports complex, which also nestled relatively close. Such well-known sanatoriums and rest houses as Yubileiny, Beryozki, Mayak and many others are located here. Various camps have been set up for children on Bannoy - Ural Dawns, Mountain Gorge, Skif - the list is endless.

All these establishments for a fun and comfortable stay on Banny are ready to provide tourists with educational excursions around the surroundings, and rafting on mountain rivers, and rock climbing lessons, as well as mountain biking, mountain biking, go-karting and much more - whoever is in it much.

Why is Lake Bannoe good? To begin with, the fact that the water here is fresh, clear and clean (in any case, they try to follow this). It is for the purity of the waters that Bannoye received the name "Light Lake". In addition, Lake Bannoe is a great place for fishing. There are plenty of underwater inhabitants here, and all thanks to the efforts of ecologists and fish farmers. Experienced fishermen promise you a solid catch in the early-early morning (from 4 am to 10 am - the biggest bite) and near steep banks. By the way, steep banks are almost everywhere here, except for the western side of the lake, where they are gentle. Rumor has it that local fish peck at almost everything, which is probably why there are usually up to 100,000 amateur fishermen on Lake Bannom a year - this is an occasion to show your skill and luck too.

Even in winter, this lake does not become quieter and more deserted, as the nearest ski centers open their doors. So do not be surprised to hear a statement that someone is going to rest on Lake Bannoe in the dead of winter. All SLCs are here with good service and a solid list of services, which means that Bannoye does not experience a shortage of vacationers.

Also keep in mind that since 1965 Lake Bannoe has been a natural monument and, accordingly, the status is protected by law. All vacationers should show respect for the beauty of these places and, if possible, not pollute the territory of the lake.

Fans of a comfortable stay will be able to choose a base for money and to their liking. The average price of a day at the recreation centers of Bannoye is about 1200 rubles. per person, but many institutions practice contractual payment, so there is a chance to save money, and vice versa.
