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 of the River Ahsuchay. As a result of this collapse, this amazing lake was formed.
