Perm lakes. Lakes of the Perm Territory: Chusovskoye, Adovo, Wild, Beloe, etc. Perm Lakes The deepest lake in the Perm Territory

More than 20 thousand hectares is the total area of ​​Perm reservoirs. Most of it is occupied by lakes (there are more than 500 of them). The lakes of the region are of karst origin. They are deep enough. The deepest lake is Rogalek. Its depth is 61 m. There are also underground lakes in the region (for example, in the mountain of Friendship of Peoples). Most of the lakes are inaccessible, with a muddy bottom. They are surrounded by forests and swamps. Getting to the lakes is very difficult, sometimes you need to use a helicopter.

Among the lakes of the region there are many famous ones: Berezovskoe, Chusovskoye, Bolshoy Kumikush, Beloe, Novozhilovo, East Small Kumikush, Chelvinskoye and others. In the lakes of the region there are such fish: ide, bream, pike perch, pike, burbot, ruff, roach, gudgeon, perch, pike.

1 Cherdynsky district is famous for its largest lake. This is Lake Chusovskoye (length - 18 km and width - 3.5 km). Lake area: 1910 ha. The average depth of Chusovskoye is 2 m. The maximum depth of the lake is 8 m. The bottom of Lake Chusovskoye is silty. Here are found: perch, tench, burbot, ruff, bream, ide, dace, roach, pike, golden and silver carp.

2 In the same area there is another well-known lake - Berezovskoe. The bottom of the lake is muddy. Berezovskoye is rapidly overgrowing. Its shore is swampy. Area 208 ha. The maximum depth is 6 m. Roach, perch, pike, ide, bream, ruff, crucian are found in Lake Berezovsky.

3 Lake Kumikush Bolshoi has an area of ​​178 ha. The average depth is 3 m. The shore is swampy and overgrown with shrubs. Perch, pike, ruff are found in it.

4 Lake Adovo is located in Gainskiy district. Adovo area: 360 ha. The lake is 2 km wide and 3 km long. Depth of the lake: 5-6 m. In Adovo there are: perch, pike.

5 Perch and pike can also be caught on Dikoye Lake (112 ha). Its average depth is 4 m. The lake is very swampy and overgrown with shrubs.

6 Lake Beloe is located near the Kama reservoir. Its shore is swampy and overgrown with shrubs. There is a perch. The area of ​​Bely is 32 hectares.

There is a unique territory in the Perm Territory known as the Durnyatskaya Hollow. This specially protected natural area of ​​regional significance is better known to specialists as a karst depression.

The Durnyatskaya Hollow is a rare natural monument: a castr field with 11 lakes. Among them, the deepest (61 m) castra lake in Russia is Rogalek. Many springs have a salty taste due to their strong mineralization. It is located 120 km from the city of Perm. Lake Rogolek is considered the deepest karst lake in the Urals, while its dimensions are only 57 by 105 meters. In the few publications indicating that its depth reaches 61 meters, it is mistakenly called the deepest karst lake in Russia. Apparently, no one knows for sure, since the last systematic work on the study of the karst of the basin was carried out in the 60s. Since then, none of the scientists seriously dealt with depression. But still, Lake Rogolek can be called unique, arguing that it is the second deepest in Russia (after Lake Tserik-Kel in Kabardino-Balkaria). In winter, a polynya remains above its deep part, Lake Kamenka is not covered with ice, and Lake Beloe is covered only in severe frosts. The reasons lie in the abundant outlets of salty groundwater with a constant temperature.

In addition to depth, the lakes have another remarkable quality, their water is salty, as in the sea there is the periphery of the Verkhnekamsk potassium-magnesium salt deposit. There is an unloading of underground waters, which, dissolving salt-bearing rocks, come to the surface of the earth. This is how deep salt lakes are formed.

It began with the fact that after the exam, talking in the corridor with classmates about this and that. And somehow, in between, Ilya Abramov said that he and Lekha Oshchepkov were going one of these days to Lake Rogalek. Lekha is writing a master's thesis on karst and he needs material. Do I want to go with him? At first I couldn't believe my ears! But of course I do!

The weather was promised to be warm, so you don’t need to take a lot of things, I also didn’t need food from me - the guys bought everything themselves. We met at Perm-2 and hit the road! We had to go by train for almost 3.5 hours, but during the conversations the time somehow quickly flew by. We went out on the site 57 km and stomped on foot along a terrible broken country road. The boots came in handy!

Somehow I was not very interested in our route and mileage - we go and go, as much as we have, all of us! But the place, as it turned out, is very, very entertaining. The lake itself is part of a caste depression with a not very euphonious name - Durnyatskaya. Sometimes fools are called the whole system of lakes, of which there are about a dozen here. But we are still walking and do not even think about the lakes. The road once ran into Kosva. Here we have a snack and preparation for the crossing. The guys took turns inflating the rubber boat, and I sat and pretended that I was not at all afraid!

Lech transported us in turn: first me, then Ilya. Nothing like that, not scary at all, although his boat does not cause a feeling of confidence. Then they dried the boat for almost an hour and just lay in the sun in fresh greenery. Again the road and again broken ... Once we went to the lakes. For the camp, they chose the largest and open lake, which is called the Big Lake. In addition to us, two not very sober, but very talkative fishermen were already camping here. Actually, they didn’t have any camp either - so, a hut from the rain!

But they were unspeakably happy with us, because, apparently, they had already had their fill of each other's company. They were somehow not very pleasant to me, and the guys were very friendly talking to them on various topics. While they were talking, I busied myself with dinner, but even then there was a clash of glances. She began to put a pot of water on the fire, and found a couple of frog tadpoles in it. Moreover, they are very well-fed and already ready to enter the adult life of a frog. I was outraged by the fact of their presence in food. Lech, on the other hand, was sincerely perplexed at what made me so noisy! After all, all the same, we will put meat in food! A little more, a little less! And in general, the French consider frogs a delicacy! Well, I do not! I'm not going to eat tadpoles! Therefore, she went herself for water again. On the shore of the lake, it became obvious that it was not so easy to get empty water - there were just teeming tadpoles here! And they weren't even going to be afraid of me!..

But I made it through this difficult task! Dinner was cooked, the dishes washed, sort of like lights out!

The morning began with the sound of drops dripping onto the tent! Of course! It soared all day the day before - here comes the rain. I still had to get up, I had to make breakfast, I had to do the work. The rain started and then ended a few more times. Actually, I didn’t have any work, so after breakfast I first finished writing the diary, then tried to learn the tickets. In the end, I got tired of all this, and I went to see what the guys were doing. She walked towards the voices and stared at her feet with all her might. Even before that, a lake of amazingly green color (Kamenka or what?) came across completely imperceptibly under your feet. And even when you make your way through the bushes in its very immediate vicinity, it still appears unexpectedly.

On Rogalka, the guys really took measurements. It is believed that this is one of the deepest karst lakes in the Perm region. Quite small in diameter, it has a bowl in the shape of a cone, the maximum depth of which is 61 meters! The figure fascinated us so much that we sat and composed what could fill such a depth. I liked to measure with 9-storey buildings, and the guys measured with a completely strange unit of measurement - Kamatsu tractors ...

The evening was spent according to their interests: they did not climb out of the lake, floundered, dived, tried to tame a perfectly round huge log, and I watched this whole circus - I did not want to climb into the lake at all. Moreover, there are tadpoles and, for sure, flocks of leeches! Be-e...

Another night in a stuffy and hot tent, early morning, preparations for home. They decided to change the way back a little so as not to go the same way twice. But the crossing still could not be avoided, this time through Pozhva. In the same way, Lekha transported us to the other side, again we had to wait until the boat was dry in order to pack it in a huge Lekhin backpack. And further along the dirty road we went towards the highway, where we hoped to get on the Solikamsk-Perm bus. We did not have any clear confidence in the buses, we went at random. The place of exit to the road was not remarkable, it was not even known where the nearest stopping point was. Therefore, we decided to wait right here, sitting on our backpacks. The first bus that Ilya tried to stop passed by. The driver in a suit, tie and shirt shook his head sympathetically. I would like to believe that he meant the lack of seats, and not our unpresentable appearance. But the next one still stopped. We threw our backpacks into the trunk, sat down and quickly dozed off, from which 3 hours of the road flew by quickly enough. And here we are in Perm, another exam in a day!

The Perm Territory cannot be considered a land of lakes. Our neighbors are richer in these natural objects. Nevertheless, there are about 800 lakes in the region with a total area of ​​approximately 11.5 thousand hectares. There are two largest lakes with an area of ​​​​more than 1.5 thousand hectares, and the main mass is from 1-100 hectares. The deepest lakes (all of them are of karst origin): Rogalek (depth 61 meters), Beloe (depth 46 meters) in the Dobryansky district. In general, there are more than 500 karst lakes (such is the geology of the Perm Territory). Most of them are small or tiny - less than 50 meters across and less than 3 meters deep. Underground lakes are interesting and in many ways unique. The largest of them is the lake in the grotto of Friendship of Peoples in the Kungur Ice Cave (about 1300 sq. M). In total, more than 60 lakes were found in this cave. Lakes are also known in other karst caves - Pashiyskaya, Divya, Kizelovskaya. Most of the lakes are located in the north of the region. Widely represented are oxbow lakes, karst lakes, floodplain, runoff and endorheic lakes. These are real pearls of our north (due to remoteness and inaccessibility, they have retained their purity and virginity), a habitat for fish, birds and other animals whose life without water is impossible.

Chusovskoye lake

This is the largest lake in the Perm Territory. It is located in the north of the Cherdynsky region and has a flowing character. The lake stretches from north to south for more than 15 kilometers. The mirror area is 19.4 km². The maximum depth is 8 meters, the average is 1.5-2 meters. The water of the lake has a yellow-brown hue due to the influx of swamp waters, overgrowing with aquatic vegetation from 30 to 60%. From the north, the Berezovka River flows into it, and the Visherka flows out of the lake. The shores of the lake are overgrown with reeds, sedge and small shrubs. Chusovskoye is the largest spawning ground in the north of the region and at the same time a magnificent feeding pond. Pike perch, bream, pike, perch, ide, roach, burbot, minnow, etc. spawn here. The bottom of the lake is heavily silted, which creates problems with oxygen in winter, so there are few fish in the lake in winter. She goes into the tributaries, rolls into the Visherka and Kolva. In the summer, there is good fishing in open water. There are many local and migratory ducks along the bays and shores. For the protection of migratory birds, a state reserve has been created. You can get to the lake on the road through Nyrob-Bogatyrevo-Fadino-Chusovskoye to the Bani camp (if you have an all-terrain vehicle). A more reliable way on the water by boat or motorboat: along Kolva, Visherka. There are no settlements on the lake, and therefore the places are beautiful, rich in fish, poultry, berries and mushrooms.

Berezovsky lake

It is located north of Lake Chusovskoye in the right-bank floodplain of the Berezovka River. The area of ​​its mirror is 2.08 km². The maximum depth is 4-5 meters. It is connected to the Berezovka River by a fairly deep channel. The shores of the lake are swampy and quite heavily overgrown with vegetation, the bottom is muddy. In summer, the lake is heavily overgrown with aquatic vegetation. It is a large spawning ground and feeding pond. Pike, ide, bream, perch, roach, etc. spawn here. With the onset of cold weather, fish leave along the channel to Berezovka and its tributaries, and the larger one descends into Kolva. There is no housing nearby. The surrounding swamps are rich in cranberries and lingonberries. You can get to the lake in summer almost only by motorboat along Berezovka, and in winter by snowmobile.

Lakes Big Kumikush, Chelvinskoye, Novozhilovo, Tylty

In the extreme west of the Cherdynsky district, in the interfluve of the Kama and Timshora, in a very swampy area, there is a whole scattering of large and small lakes. The largest of them is Lake Big Kumikush, located in the center of the "Wild Swamp". The area of ​​its mirror is 17.8 km². The maximum depth is 6 meters, the average is 3-3.5 meters. The bottom of the lake is very muddy, the shores are swampy to such an extent that it is very, very difficult to find a place to set up a tent. The only way to get to the lake in summer is on foot along the paths winding through the swamps. To the south of it is Lake Chelvinskoye with an area of ​​​​2 km² resembling a figure eight in shape. The lakes are connected by a channel. Among the inhabitants of the pike, perch, ruff. In winter, especially on Kumikush, there is a lack of oxygen. Saves the channel to Chelvinskoe Lake, where the oxygen regime is somewhat better. Lake Novozhilovo is located 6 kilometers to the east, with an area of ​​7.12 km². It connects with Kama by a small source. Pike, perch, and ruff spawn and feed in the lake. Part of the fish goes to the Kama for the winter. A little to the east of Lake Novozhilovo is Lake Tylty with a size of 1.16 km². The lake has the appearance of a curved arc and is connected to the Kama by the Istok Tylta River flowing from it. Due to their inaccessibility, the lakes are practically not fished in the summer. In winter, the lakes can be easily reached by snowmobile. For ice fishing, Chelvinskoye and Novozhilovo lakes are preferable. Of the smaller lakes in this area, one can distinguish - Small Kumikush, East Small Kumikush, Northern Kumikush, Wild.

Lake Nakhty

Somewhat to the west of the lakes described above, in the Gainsky district, in the same swampy area, there is a large number of relatively small lakes. The most famous lake is Nakhty. The length of the reservoir is approximately 12 km, width 15 meters, maximum depth 3.5 meters, area 2.28 km². The lake is fed by water from swamps and therefore the water in it is brown. The lake is home to asp, sorge, ide, pike, perch, chub, bream, and ruff. In the old days it was a commercial reservoir. Now, on the road from the abandoned village of Nizhnyaya Staritsa, it is almost impossible to get to the lake by car. However, the reservoir is popular with local residents as a place for recreation and fishing. They get to the lake on motorcycles or bicycles. Of the other lakes in this area, one can single out Lake Krivetska Staritsa near the village of Krivtsy, with a size of 1.76 sq. km. The lake connects with Kama and therefore the fish is the same as in Kama. One and a half kilometers east of Krivetska Staritsa is Lake Mikhty, 0.44 km² in size. To the west of Krivetska Staritsa there are lakes Istomino (0.16 km²), Nizhnyaya Staritsa, Nizhnyaya Emty, Mezhaty (0.14 km²).

Lakes Teklyuevskoe, Wild, Nyukhti

On the border of the Solikamsky and Krasnovishersky districts there is Lake Teklyuevskoye (Redikor). A horseshoe-shaped lake with an area of ​​2.72 km². You can get here on the road Perm-Krasnovishersk, turning to the recreation center "Redikor" (6 km). The lake is located in the former bend of the Vishera and has a connection with the river. Together with the nearby lake Rategovskoe is one of the largest spawning grounds in the north of the region. During the spring flood, the entire Vishera floodplain is flooded, and the river and lake are one. At this time, pike, asp, perch, roach, sabrefish actively spawn here, gold and silver carp are caught. 1 km from Lake Teklyuevsky in a swampy area is Lake Wild. Oval-shaped lake 1.5*1.0 km. The area of ​​the lake is 1.12 km². Average depths are 4-4.5 meters. Water lilies and lilies grew along the shore, the shore itself is damp and unsteady. Perch is found in abundance, a lot of pike. Get to Dikoye on foot from Teklyuevsky Lake. Lake Nyukhti is located in the basin of the Kolynva River in the Krasnovishersky District. The area of ​​the mirror is 5.4 km². The lake is connected to the river by a long and deep channel. Pike, perch, bream, roach, ruff, ide, crucian are found in the lake. This is a shallow lake (depths of 1-1.5 m prevail) with low and swampy shores, with a silted bottom, which in winter reduces the oxygen content in the water. Only small perch and ruff winter in the lake, other fish go to Kolynva and Yazva. The lake is of migratory importance during spring and autumn migrations of birds. The access to the lake is quite decent (oil workers have filled in the roads) and on weekends there are quite a lot of fishermen from Krasnovishersk and Solikamsk (usually all with a catch).

Lakes Big and Small Adovo

In the interfluve of the Kama and Veslyana, among the vast swamps and peat bogs, there is Lake Bolshoye Adovo. The location itself makes it inaccessible and rarely visited. The area of ​​the lake is 3.68 km². A kilometer to the east is the Small Adovo Lake, which is much smaller (0.12 km²). Lakes with a good forage base and a rich species composition of fish. A lot of very decent pike and perch. In summer, you can take a narrow-gauge railway to the village of Seiva lumberjacks, and then walk through the swamp. In winter, only on snowmobiles. A reserve has been created on Lake Bolshoye Adovo in order to preserve the nesting sites of the whooper swan. Big Adovo Lake is perhaps the most mysterious body of water in the Kama region. Many legends are connected with its history and especially with the name - funny, tragic, and sometimes terrible. What is true in them is now impossible to establish, but inexplicable phenomena on the lake are observed even now (unexpected seething of water, strong whirlpools in the central part, sudden disappearance of fish). Locals bypass the center of the lake and fish along the shores. There is an assumption about the underwater communication of the lake with other lakes in the Gainsky region. According to local residents, a monster lives in the lake in general and that there are even eyewitnesses. True, the scientific expeditions that visited the lake did not find the monster, but they did not say a categorical "no" either. Questions remain, and there are no answers yet.

Lake Beloe

It's not north anymore, it's much closer. True, getting to the lake is not so easy. First you need to get from Krasnoye or from the village of Bor-Lenva by boat or motorboat to the mouth of the Rudasherka River (on the right bank of the Kosvinsky Bay). Having moored in the middle part of the mouth, you get on the trail. Passing along it to the north, you get to the embankment of a narrow-gauge railway, and go north along it to the lake. The area of ​​the lake is 0.32 km². Its shores are swampy and overgrown with small shrubs. There is a good perch in the lake, and it is it that attracts anglers here in early autumn and spring, on ice.

Lake Chukaevskoe (Baranovskoe) and Black Lake

On the right bank of the Kama, between the railway bridge and the Krasavinsky bridge, there is this pair of lakes. The easiest way to get to Lake Chukaevsky is to cross the Krasavinsky bridge and immediately turn right. If the dump trucks did not gouge the road, then by car you can drive to the lake itself. The lake is very decent in size, although the shores are marshy in places and steep in places. Close to it is Black Lake. It is much smaller and in the spring flood it is connected to the Chukaevsky lake by a channel, which dries up in summer. Approaches to the water are much better than on Chukaevsky, although the bottom is heavily littered with driftwood. In the lakes they catch crucian carp, roach, pike, perch.

Krasavinsky lakes

You can get to the lakes along the Western bypass and, before reaching the Krasavinsky bridge on the ring, turn onto the road towards Krokhovo. Or go from the side of the Highway Cosmonauts from Krokhovo. Large and small lakes will be on both sides of the road. Some of these lakes connect with Kama in the spring and fish come from it. The largest lakes are Podosinovoye and Chudovo. The fish in the lakes are varied - pike, perch, horned roach, crucian carp, rudd. There are crucian carp by a kilogram or more.

Lakes of the Durnyatskaya Basin

The Durnyatskaya Hollow (Dobryansky District) is a landscape monument of the Perm Territory. There are 11 karst lakes on an area of ​​355 hectares. The largest lake is the Big Lake with a size of 2.04 hectares, and the deepest in the entire Urals is Lake Rogalek. The outlines of the lake resemble a figure eight with two basins 8 and 61 meters. Getting to the lakes is not easy. There is no entrance and there are no lakes on the maps. You reach the village of Permskoye, then move to the village of Gary. Here you leave the car and go on foot up the Pozhva River. After 2.5 km, cross to the left bank of the river on a concrete bridge and after about 3 km you reach the mouth of the Istok stream. Approximately 300 meters upstream of the stream there will be Lake Beloe. Lake Beloe is connected by canals with Lake Cherny and Lake Rogalek. Thanks to the beavers, the area is very swampy and impassable, so it is better to get to the lakes along the channel. The water in Bely and Rogalek is salty. The water in the lakes of the Durnyatskaya depression is always almost the same temperature - cold, and even in winter not all lakes freeze. From the angler's point of view, the lakes are of no interest.

Lasvinsky lakes

On the territory of the Kirovsky district of the city of Perm (in the area between Oborino and the Lasva River) there is a group of large and small lakes. The largest of them is Bolshoye Lasvinskoye Lake (0.36 km²). The rest of the lakes are much smaller. Among them are Lake Wild and Lake Lobkhanskoye. Although the lakes are located within the city limits, there is fish in them and it is very decent. The lakes are inhabited by: crucian carp, roach, tench, perch, bream, pike. The most accessible lake is Wild - located almost on the outskirts of Oborino. Lobkhanskoye Lake can also be reached by car from Oborino (along the Kama towards Krasnokamsk). Big Lasvinskoye Lake is located in a forest and can be reached mainly on foot or in dry weather by off-road vehicle from Lobkhanskoye Lake, almost off-road.

Kungur lakes

Something, and Kungur is clearly not deprived of water. In addition to three decent rivers, there are a number of small lakes in the city. Some of them are of karst origin, others are located in the former channels of the rivers flowing in the city. Previously (it was a long time ago) the lakes were famous for fishing. Now in many fish is not at all. Kuznetsovskoe Lake is the most famous and most affected by man. Part of the lake was filled in, the banks were littered, the surface was covered with duckweed. The city's once iconic body of water is slowly dying. Ageevskoe Lake (Mochishche) is also decently polluted and clearly suffers from a lack of care. Krotovskoe Lake - at one time was a favorite vacation spot for citizens. In the dashing 90s, the lake was decently dirtied. Now it is periodically cleaned of debris and even stocked again (through the efforts of amateur fishermen). At the foot of the Ice Mountain in the Zasylvensky part of the city is Karasye Lake. Now the lake looks unkempt and forgotten. The shores are overgrown with bushes, it is difficult to get close to the water, the glory of the fish pond is a thing of the past. Behind Irenya, near Blucher Street, there is Sharapovskoe Lake. The shores of the lake are overgrown and it is difficult to approach the water. And the surface of the reservoir is covered with a layer of duckweed. Previously, small carp were caught, but now fishing enthusiasts are not visible. A little away from the habitation among pines, birches and aspens is the Cooking Lake - the least affected by the fruits of civilization - a quiet picturesque oasis. Lake of karst origin approximately 70*100 meters. It happens that the water completely leaves the reservoir, and therefore the fish do not take root.
P.S. Of course, you can sit with a fishing rod on some lakes, but you can’t count on a big catch.

Torsunovskoye lake

In the Ochersky district of the Perm Territory, about 7.5 km east of the city of Ocher and 4 km north of the village of Pavlovsky, there is Torsunovskoye Lake with an area of ​​0.687 km². The lake has a rounded shape and is connected to the Pavlovka Pond by a channel approximately 300 m long and 20 m wide. Depths in the lake are up to 20 m. The reservoir is fed by springs and precipitation. Swamps adjoin the lake from the southeast and west. The lake, swamps and the surrounding pine forest make up a botanical monument of regional significance. The water in the lake is quite clean - it can be seen to a depth of 4 meters. There are many legends about the lake - there are mermaids, goblin, water monsters, robber treasures. In reality, the presence of standing fir trees at the bottom, the tops of which are visible from the surface, is a mystery. From fish there are bream, perch, pike.

gull lake

Gull Lake is located in the Uinsky district of the Perm Territory, 19 km northeast of the village of Uinsky on the outskirts of the village of Voskresenskoye. An oval-shaped reservoir measuring 0.14 km² has the status of a landscape natural monument of regional significance. The lake got its name due to the fact that the largest colony of black-headed gulls (1000 pairs) nests here in the Kama region. A lake of karst origin with a muddy bottom and an average depth of 1.5 meters. The lake is fed exclusively by precipitation. Because of this, in dry years in summer, the lake can dry up completely. The surface of the reservoir in summer is partially covered with thickets of water lilies, and the shores are covered with reeds and reeds. Of course, there is no special quantity and variety of fish, but pike, perch, crucian nevertheless live.

Duke), the ice was almost snowless. In the same , there was already too much snow for bicycles, and we went skiing.

Route.

Kobona Zelenetsky Islands st. Ladoga lake.

For a long time they tried and judged how best to throw. If you are on a bike, then everything is clear: take the train to Voibokalo, and then you screw it up. With skis, such a feint does not work, you need to somehow get ashore from the station. They even wanted to take a car from St. Petersburg, with Ax at the wheel (so that he drove the car back and did not have to come back for it), but decided not to complicate things, relying on the Voybokalo Kobon bus (it runs twice a day, here is its schedule).

4 people decided to take part: Sergey Radolitsky (serzh_r), Sergey Kislinsky (Pupsen), Sergey Rogachev ( [email protected]) and myself, Dmitry Bulavinov (Bulawka). There were more, but many were confused by the two-day format, and some simply could not. We haven’t left the station yet, and Radolitsky has already run into me why I’m breaking out of the team all Sergeys, but I’m not, everyone with backpacks, and I with drags, etc. :-) (And I really decided to test driving along Ladoga with a drag, because everything does not fit into a small backpack, and a large one is too big.)

About 16 went out to Voibokalo; Several locals were hanging out near the station, they said that there would be a bus, but they also did not deny the option of its absence. And then they all (or almost all) disappeared somewhere. But around 16.20 PAZik really arrived and took us to Kobona (55 rubles from the nose and 55 for luggage from everyone).

Unloaded at the crossroads in Kobon [ • ], and the bus went to Lavrovo (it makes a circle in one direction in the morning, in the other in the evening). And went straight to the store • ] for food (the store is expensive!), and Pupsen visited a department store nearby (he forgot absolutely everything - a bowl, a spoon, and a flashlight).

[Note. Here and below, the [ • ] the coordinates of the place in question are indicated in the WGS 84 coordinate system in the format degrees with fractions. Move the mouse over the icon, and the coordinates of the place will be highlighted as alt-text. The points were plucked from the GPS data of this trip, and further refined using digital photographs. Still, errors should not be completely ruled out. Here, directly in the GPS data from the trip itself, the link to which is given at the end of this story, there are definitely no errors.]

Through the canal we went to Ladoga. It's evening. The fishermen's cars are returning to land in a long line, creating a picture very similar to the photographs from the Road of Life of war times ... Zelentsy is visible in the distance, about 10 km away. The weather is normal, the wind is not strong. No cracks, no hummocks, little snow, in short beauty.

When we came to the island of Big Zelenets it was already quite dark. We got up in the same place as a year ago [ • ] . Firewood is so-so, water was collected from the lake (ice 40 centimeters). We called friends who spend the night in Kobon in a pretentious hotel, and are going to take off tomorrow morning along the Road of Life on fatbikes (the same as the usual big one, only tires are 3 "and thicker). We drank, ate, had a snack and went to bed. During the day walked about 11 km.

Pupsen took a summer sleeping bag with him (and just in case he slept in a puff and boots and therefore froze), he woke up first and cooked porridge (although Radolitsky is usually the first to be blown up).

We got out at about 11. As we rounded the island, the wind began to blow; albeit from the side, but strong, although without impulses. There is little snow on the ice; in some places there is barely powdered ice, but in general it is of little use for skates. We crossed a couple of cracks, unproblematic, surrounded by small hummocks. It would not be difficult to drive the Road of Life by car under these weather conditions.

We saw a couple of kiters, one of which was probably Vitya Schultz, who was moving towards the fatbiker team. Fatbikers constantly called me: as soon as you put on a mitten and warm your hand, the next one calls. Like, where are you? Let's go, damn it. :-)

Closer to the shore, Radolitsky and Pupsen rushed to the lighthouse in Osinovets and went out on land right there for some fig, and they had to stomp a couple of kilometers on foot. And Rogalik and I passed by the lake, joining the ski column returning from the start of the annual bike ride along the Road of Life (along its coastal part, from the Broken Ring monument on the banks of Ladoga to the Flower of Life monument on Rzhevka), and went ashore [ • ] very close to the Ladoga Lake station [ • ], literally 300 meters from it.
