Batabat lake

Lake Batabat, known locally as Batabat Golu, is a natural freshwater lake that owes its existence to the crystal-clear waters that flow from the surrounding mountains. The name "Batabat" is derived from the Azerbaijani word for "shallow," reflecting the relatively shallow depths of this idyllic lake.

The lake's shores are adorned with lush greenery, including willow trees and reeds, which provide habitat for various bird species and enhance the sense of natural harmony. Birdwatchers will delight in the opportunity to observe local and migratory birds in their natural habitat.

What sets Lake Batabat apart is its unique floating island, known as "Zirva Island." This remarkable natural wonder is a verdant, vegetated landmass that appears to float on the lake's surface. The island is a product of the lake's hydrological processes, where plant matter and sediment accumulate over time to create this seemingly floating oasis.
