Natural landmark "Prystiny"

Botanical nature monument of national importance. This area achieved the status of the nature reserve in 1975 and amounts up to 17 hectares.

About the place

In the Natural landmark "Prystiny", on the high right bank of the Konka River, there is a picturesque Panske lake.The reservoir, covered with shell rock, is nourished by 25 natural springs, so the water here is clean and always cold (no higher than 15 degrees). Despite the fact that the lake has a rather modest size (33 x 16 m), there are always plenty of people who want to relax on its banks, the water here never blooms and does not rot, because it seeps through limestone rocks and "silvery" clay.

 The source is also known under other names: Panska well and Blue Lakes. Historians assume that it was built by Tatars in the Middle Ages. Proof of this is the technique of constructing the walls of the lake, similar to that used in the large Tatar town of Saksin, located nearby.
