Goygol

Goygol (also spelled Göygöl) is a pristine alpine lake that seems like it belongs to a world of myth and fairytales. This natural wonder, set against a backdrop of lush forests and the dramatic peaks of the Murovdag Mountain Range, beckons travelers to immerse themselves in its tranquil beauty.

Goygol's name, which means "Blue Lake" in Azerbaijani, perfectly encapsulates its essence. The lake's crystal-clear waters reflect the vivid blue of the sky, creating a mesmerizing mirror that perfectly captures the surrounding natural splendor. The surface of the lake is so still that it seems as though time itself pauses to admire the scenery.

As you step inside, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of enchanting glass artistry. The interior is equally captivating, with walls and ceilings adorned with glass bottles of various shapes and hues, creating a magical play of light and color. The bottles are cleverly arranged to form intricate patterns and motifs, adding an element of whimsy and wonder to the space.

The lake itself was formed as a result of a devastating earthquake in 1139, which triggered a massive landslide that blocked the path of the Aghsu River. Over time, this natural dam created Goygol Lake, which now covers an area of approximately 67 hectares.

Surrounding the lake, dense forests of oak, hornbeam, and beech trees add to the enchantment of the landscape. These woods are a haven for wildlife, including deer, wild boar, and various species of birds. For nature enthusiasts, Goygol offers ample opportunities for hiking, birdwatching, and communing with the great outdoors.

As you explore the shores of Goygol, you'll discover quaint wooden cottages and charming trails that lead you through the pristine forested surroundings. The lake is not just a visual feast; it's a place to find serenity and connect with the natural world.
