The most beautiful lake in Ukraine and the highlight of the Ukrainian Carpathians is Lake Synevyr. This
is the largest reservoir of the Ukrainian Carpathians, located in the upper reaches of the Terebly River, in the most picturesque region of Transcarpathia - Mizhgirshchyna. The lake is located at an altitude of about a thousand meters above sea level, its maximum depth is 24 m. Synevyr is high in the mountains and its waters are so deep that the lake does not warm even in summer.
Nowhere else you will see such clear and transparent water and an abundance of ancient trees.
The surface of the lake sparkles with blue, but exactly in the middle a small island emerges from the water. This picture looks like a blue eye with a dark pupil in the center - that is why Synevyr got its second, very romantic name: Sea Eye.
There is a legend telling about the name of the lake. It says, that many, many years ago, blue-eyed Princess Sin fell in love with a shepherd named Vir. Sin’s father could not allow such an unequal marriage . On his orders, servants pushed a huge boulder over the shepherd. Seeing this, Sin cried the whole lake, and she dissolved into the surface of the water. Recalling this beautiful legend, the figures of Sin and Vir, which were carved out of mahogany in 1984, are set on the lakeside.Newlyweds from all the environs come to be photographed here: the legend of Sinevir says that lovers who come here on such a day will never part and never stop loving each other.
You can climb to the lake along the path with the mountain stream flowing near it.
Look whom we met on our way to the lake!
Visiting Sinevir you can touch the local life:
and even to play the trembita, it’s the national Transcarpathian music instrument.
And we were melted snow and made our tea and food on the water, as like you said the ecology is very good there and water is very clean and testy.
