History and geography of Gladyshevsky Lake

The lake lies in the hollow among the steep hills, covered with coniferous forest. Its depth reaches 14 meters, but there is information about the depressions up to 24 meters. From the north, the Great River flows into the lake, which connects it with the lake Nakhimovsky. In the southeast, the Gladishevka River flows from the lake, carrying water to the Black River, and then to the Gulf of Finland. This river is full of rapids, waterfalls, dams, and the nature of Gladishevsky lake is quite difficult: multiple ice keys are cracked from the bottom, giving rise to cold undercurrents. But these northern places have always attracted visitors with amazing natural beauty and cleanliness.

Mayakovsky, the artist I. Kramskoy. Lived and worked in the vicinity of the lake outstanding Russian physician SP Botkin. A famous revolutionary figure, researcher and correspondent VD Bonch-Bruevich describes in his chronicles how he met in these places with a holidaymaker in the party dacha, VI Lenin.
