There is no better way to restore strength and reset the negative accumulated for the year, than rest in a beautiful and ecologically clean place. Strange as it may seem, it is not necessary to spend a lot of money on such a holiday - you can ideally relax with a savage, for example, on Lake Shira, in Khakassia.
Where is Lake Shira?
One of the cleanest and most beautiful reservoirs of the country, Lake Shira is located between Krasnoyarsk (340 km) and Abakan (160 km). Only two kilometers from the lake is the station of the same name. There are several ways to get to Lake Shira. The first of them is to use the railway and buy a ticket for one of the trains stopping at Shira station. Trains to this station are sent regularly from Krasnoyarsk, Moscow, Tomsk, Omsk, Kemerovo and Novosibirsk. Then you can continue on foot, or take the bus, which will take you to your destination. The second way is to buy a ticket for the plane to Abakan, and then change to a bus or take a taxi. The third way is to get back on the road by car. The road, although it will not be close, but quite interesting.
Where to settle on Lake Shira?
To rest on Lake Shira left only a pleasant experience, you need to choose the right place for a camp. To accommodate the camping, you can choose the southern, northern or western shores of Lake Shira. For beginners it is best to organize a parking lot on the southern shore of the lake, where there is a source of fresh water and food shops are located within walking distance. Those who are not afraid of difficulties, and who on vacation dream of loneliness, it is worth to settle on the north shore - it is sometimes swampy and people on it are much less. In addition, there are no drinking sources on the northern shore, which means that water for drinking and domestic needs will have to be taken with you.
Another option for placing a campground is the nearby Lake Uchichi. Most often, tourists choose to park the lake Uchichye-2, because it is fairly shallow and the water in it warms up well. When choosing this option, drinking water must also be taken with you.
Fishing on Lake Shira
Planning a holiday savage on Lake Shira, do not expect to fish - the water in the lake is so mineralized that the fish in it is simply not found. But swimming in the lake is not only pleasant, but also very useful for health, because its waters contain a lot of useful microelements.
