Overview

The color and clarity of the waters of this lake, located 1,600 above sea level are striking and the banks of the lake are covered with forests and rich flora and fauna.

The park’s wildlife wild mammal and bird species consist of a lot of these noble Caucasian deer, bear, deer, fox, wild cat, sable, lynx, rabbit, squirrel, birds, and Caspian snowcock, black vulture, partridge, etc. can be shown. The lake is considered to be one of the most beautiful lakes in the Caucasus. Translated from the Azerbaijani language, the name means ‘blue lake’. The blue water in it is clean and clear. As a result of a strong earthquake that occurred in the city of Ganja in 1139, Mount Kepez collapsed, thereby blocking the path for the River Ahsuchay. As a result of this collapse, this amazing lake was formed.
