What to know

Lake in detail

  • Part of the flow-through cascade Liutsymyr–Kruhle–Dovhe–Plotychchia–Krymne.
  • The park's official route description gives an area of 12 ha, a length of 550 m, a width of 300 m and a maximum depth of 3 m.
  • A correctly located lake description names pike and crucian carp directly; no modern scientific control survey has been published.
  • The source does not resolve the crucian carp to a species, so the record is matched to the native crucian carp only with moderate confidence.
  • Not to be confused with the lake of the same name near the village of Zamostia in Kamin-Kashyrskyi district, whose water-management profile describes a different water body.
