The lake is surrounded by mountain taiga, and on the very shore of the lake there are birch and willow trees, numerous berry bushes that stretch along the coast. The water in the lake changes color depending on the weather; on a clear day it is a green-blue surface that glows from the bright sun. All this resembles a piece of paradise that attracts tourists to admire the picturesque lake and relax away from the bustle of the city. This lake is loved not only by people, but also by numerous birds, among which you can see rare species such as osprey, black stork, capercaillie, and pelican. There is fish in the lake, even very rare ones, but since the territory of the lake is considered a protected area, only the local population is allowed to fish here for food or through travel agencies.

Tours of extreme tourism are organized around the territory of the reserve, this includes rafting on mountain rivers and hiking routes, the price is individual and quite high.
