This is a wonderful salt lake called Burlinskoe (Lake Bursol) is located in the Slavgorod region of the Altai Territory, 18 km north-west of Slavgorod. First of all, the lake is notable for being the largest salt deposit in Western Siberia. On the shore of the lake is the village of Bursol.
It also turns a hot pink every year in August (some sites report that the brightest pink can be seen in the spring months). It's all about small crustaceans that breed during this period. Due to climate change in the past few years, this lake turns into "pink jelly" earlier than usual.
The lake is about 8 km long and 6.5 km wide. The maximum depth is 2.5 meters, and the average does not exceed 1 meter. That is, theoretically, Burlinskoye Lake can be crossed even without soaking the hair on your head.
The density of salt water in the lake is higher than in the Dead Sea, it is impossible to drown in it. The banks around the reservoir are gentle and are covered with a layer of salt for several hundred meters, so it is not recommended to walk here barefoot, it is also better to go into the water with shoes on, because the bottom also completely consists of salt crystals, sometimes quite large. Not only can they be sharp, they can also be quite slippery.
The lake has its own legends. They say that Catherine II herself seasoned the dishes with pink salt. It was delivered for the empress directly from the Altai lake.
This lake is without drainage, that is, no river flows into it and from the outside does not flow out. The water is salty and bitter, which does not freeze in winter. Nowadays, the lake is a natural monument; any economic activity that can harm the composition of the water and plants on its shores is prohibited on the banks. Although it is reported that table salt is still mined there.
An amazingly beautiful lake with healing silt and healing water, saturated with many beneficial substances for health, attracts residents of the surrounding settlements and numerous tourists. There is a sandbank on the shore of the lake, which is a good beach.
Nearby there is another pink lake - Raspberry, it is even smaller. The water in it is almost constantly colored in a raspberry hue. There is a period when the lake becomes closer in color to gray and even blue, although this is rather rare. Raspberry is famous for its curative mud. Sulfide-silt mud normalizes the functions of the skin: cleanses it, absorbs excess sebum, removes dead cells from the skin surface, and frees pores.
