Svyatoe

Svyatoe is a lake in Ivanovo Oblast surrounded by thick forest and wetland vegetation. The water is notably clear and sits within a landscape shaped by boggy terrain and natural waterside plants.

Local communities recognized the lake as naturally important over many centuries. This perception of significance became embedded in its name and the region's ongoing connection to the site.

Residents of nearby settlements incorporate the lake into their traditional practices, referring to it as Ozero Svyatoye in their native language.

The site can be explored using established pathways that run through the forest and along the shoreline. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear since the ground can be boggy and wet depending on the season.

The lake holds the status of a natural monument of Russia, meaning its waters and surrounding ecosystem fall under legal protection measures. This designation allows for long-term preservation of its natural features from human interference.
