Information -
The path to Lake Titov is not considered difficult, but requires good athletic training and the skill of being in the mountains and traveling through the mountains. This mountain trail is not particularly difficult and is suitable for all age categories. There is a group of tourists who go specifically to these lakes in the summer to swim in them. The water in the lake is very cold, so we do not recommend swimming in it, only trained people can do this. Lake Titov, like all mountain moraine lakes, is not large, and incredibly beautiful, the water in the lake changes its color during the day. We recommend traveling to Lake Titov in the summer, then there is no snow and the route is not very difficult. In winter, you can also go to the lake, but the route becomes much more difficult, so in winter only physically trained travelers should move here. Water enters the lakes from three glaciers that are located slightly higher, the largest lake is 165 meters long and 100 meters wide, the rest of the lakes are smaller.
