Legends of the bottomless lake in Belarus, near the town of Dzerzhinsk

  • Legend has it that this place was once a church, but then she fell into the ground and at this place formed a bottomless lake.
  • People in ancient times were measured depth of the lake, but the bottom has not got. Old-timers tell that there is a layer of mud and then water again, then again silt and it can go on forever.
  • The fishermen here have caught the fish. Lighthouse hitched to the fish and released it back. After some time, the fish found far from the place in the river. Perhaps it is connected by underground channels with other rivers and lakes.

But ... it's just a legends.

There is speculation about the origin of the lake Bezdonka. Lake could arise from the fall of the meteorite.
Lakes form almost perfectly round. Glacial lakes such forms do not occur in Belarus.

Also, many people have with the association of Lake Bezdonki with force place.

Interesting to read about the legends! Thank you.

From these photographs, you can feel that there's a beautifully calming energy all around the Bezdonka lake ~ At any time of the day. I especially gravitate to the images with the mist, adding to that extra mysterious atmosphere.
