A bit of history about the “Sea Eye” of the Carpathians

Scientists believe that Lake Synevyr arose immediately after the end of the Ice Age about 10,000 years ago. As a result of a strong earthquake, mountain rocks rose along the road of the waterway and became an impenetrable dam for it.

The surface area of ​​the lake was measured at seven hectares, its maximum depth is estimated at 22 meters, and the average – 8.2 meters. Lake Synevyr is a huge reservoir of fresh water, estimated at 400,000 cubic meters. The lake is inhabited by two species of fish – beak and trout.

As a result of the absence of chlorides, the water in the lake has an unusual taste. In summer, the sun warms the water only up to + 20 ° C, if you dive deeper, you will be unpleasantly surprised by the extraordinary coolness. The water temperature here is four to five degrees. The calm waters of the lake reflect the figures of Sini and Vir, created in 1984 by sculptors Ivan Brovdi and Mikhail Sanich.
