Key facts
Navrattia, which administrative lists also record as Zakrynnia, is one of the smallest lakes of the Shatsk district at just 1.9 ha. Distinctly heart-shaped, it lies hidden among forest and marsh, and there is virtually no open lake-specific data on its fish, water chemistry or present-day biota.
