Утро на Кучерлинском озере. Алтай

Morning at Kucherla lake, Altai

 

Most beautiful lake in Russia. I feel privileged to be able to see it.

Together with Lake Teletskoye, Belukha Mountain and the Ukok Plateau it forms a natural UNESCO World Heritage Site entitled "Golden Mountains of Altai".

The lake is surrounded by alpine meadows and peaks over 3,000 metres high. It is situated at the height of 1,790 metres above mean sea level, stretching for 4.67 kilometres ( from north to south. The lake area is 3 square kilometres . It is up to 54.8 meters deep.

 

We walked 2.5 days here from the nearest village of Tungur

Кучерлинское озеро.

Красивейшее озеро России.

Мы шли сюда 50 км (2.5 дня) от посёлка Тюнгур на Катуне.

Высокогорное озеро у подножия северного склона Катунского хребта в верховьях реки Кучерла, ледникового происхождения. Длина озера 5 км, ширина около 700 м. Озеро расположено на высоте 1790 м над уровнем моря.
