Rest on Lake Borovoye -
In the very heart of northern Kazakhstan, among pine forests, rocks and hills, lie the legendary Borovye Lakes - amazing reservoirs where the world seems to freeze, and silence speaks louder than words. These are not just lakes - this is the soul of Kazakh nature, storing the power of ancient spirits, legends and eternal harmony. Burabay National Park, also known as Kazakhstan's Switzerland, carefully protects this land. Here, each lake is like a stone in a necklace, and each of them has its own face, its own character and its own history. The main and frequently visited lake is Lake Borovoye or Auelikol (Sacred Lake), on its shores there is a tourist instructor for recreation. Near the lake is the resort village of Borovoye, in which there are guest houses for recreation and hotels. In the lake itself there is a rocky island Zhumbaktas which is very popular, you can walk to it on a rented boat or catamaran.

It is not hot here in summer - the temperature rarely rises above + 25 ° C, and in winter - a real frosty crunch and fluffy snow. The animal and plant world of these places is surprisingly rich. Elks, roe deer, squirrels live in the forests, and ducks and swans nest on the lakes. In spring and summer, the slopes are covered with a carpet of wild flowers and berries - strawberries, stone berries, blueberries.
