Lake Svetloyar, Protected lake in Voskresensky District, Russia
Lake Svetloyar spreads across the Nizhny Novgorod region with clear waters surrounded by dense forests and diverse plant species at coordinates 56.819167, 45.091667.
The lake gained recognition in medieval times when tales emerged about the city of Kitezh sinking into its waters to escape Mongol invasions.
The lake serves as a gathering point for traditional celebrations, folklore performances, and religious ceremonies that connect locals with their heritage.
Visitors can reach the lake through regional roads in Voskresensky District, with optimal visiting conditions during summer months from June to August.
Scientists have recorded unusual geological formations beneath the lake surface, creating distinct water patterns visible during specific weather conditions.
