Affordable beauty - Lake Cahul

Cahul, like his elder brother - Lake Yalpug, is a lake of a limanic-jellied type, but unlike Yaplug, Cahul has a direct connection to the largest river of Europe - the Danube. Therefore, resting on Cahul, you can combine pleasant and useful - and improve health on the sea, which contributes to the marine climate, and swim in the Danube. In addition, the water in Cahul in the summer often warms up to + 30 ° C, which allows you to feel as much as possible in the seaside resort.

Yalpug and Cahul are not far from each other - in the Reni district of the Odessa region. You can get to the coast of Cahul both by your own transport and by public transport. If you choose the first option, then following from Odessa to the city of Reni, along the highway M15, just east of Reni you will see a huge lake with banks covered with lush vegetation - this is Cahul.

The bus to the lake is also easy to reach - a shuttle bus runs from the Odessa bus station several times a day along the direction towards Reni.

According to local residents, the most beautiful Cahul is a summer. The lake is covered with a variety of bright colors - a large palette of water lilies - from yellow to light lemon, juicy dark-green herbs, which in combination with light blue water create a unique palette of Cahul.

The lake, like a pearl in a casket, is immersed in high, banked by beams, banks. In the north of the lake, near Moldavia, the banks are steeper, in the south - hollow and marshy. Since Cahul is a lake with a non-permanent area, which varies from 85 to 93 square meters. km., the southern coast is very often flooded. For this they were loved by birds, which in the thickets of reeds can feel themselves protected. Large bird colonies living in southern Cahul often attract tourists and photo-hunters with rare shots of real wildlife.

Cahul will be no less interesting to fishermen. Although the timing of fishing on the lake is strictly limited, only a few months a year the fishermen manage to catch 1-2 representatives of the huge underwater world of Cahul. In addition to gobies and crayfish, which are abundant in Cahul, the lake is home to bream, catfish, pike, as well as carp and other commercial fish. The waters of Cahul are so full of fish that, at the time allowed, fishing is conducted on an industrial scale.

But Cahul is not only fishing, hunting, it is, first of all, a natural, sometimes unearthly beauty, and rest. Small in the south (up to 2.5 meters) and absorbing in the north (up to 7 meters), a lake with a sandy bottom is ideal for wild family rest in unity with nature. Because of the inconstancy of Cahul, and its propensity for spills, there are very few tourist bases and private boarding houses on the lake. Therefore, rest on Cahul can become a real adventure, especially if you take a tent with you.
