Lake sut khol. Creation of the booklet "Lake Sut-Khol" in English

Lake Sut-Khol is located in the Sut-Khol kozhuun of the Tyva Republic in the spurs of the Western Sayan near the stormy Khemchik at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level.

The length of the lake from west to east is 7-8 kilometers, width - 2-2.5 kilometers.

On the shores of the lake, there are growing larch trees, slender spruces, and handsome cedars. On the green moss, there are pink flowers of round-leaved pears, lingonberries, and badan. In the vicinity of Sut-Khol there is a rounded, forested mountain Bora-Taiga, the rocky top of which is crowned with a wooden pyramid built by topographers. From the south, the dome of the Kyzyl-Taiga mountain rose over the lake, from where a magnificent view of the Khemchik depression opens.

Sut-Khol is remembered by everyone who has seen it at least once. Fancy shape the peninsulas go deep into the surface of the lake, wild rocks and white clouds are reflected in the water, as in a mirror.

Small rivers flow into the lake from the west. Their banks serve as the usual camp site for shepherds. In the southeast, from Sut-Khol along a picturesque gorge surrounded by yellowish rocks with trails of stone talus, the Khol-Ozhu river rushes out, forming in places small waterfalls. Bushes of red and black currants hang over the river, irises, bells, lilies bloom, wild gooseberries are found in the crevices of the rocks.

Not far from Sut-Khol, the arzhaan Ulug-Dorgun beats. The water temperature in the spring is +4.2 degrees. The trees near it, according to the old Tuvan custom, are hung with offerings to the spirit of the mountains. In the summer, the tents of the tourists are located near the arzhaan, who not only drink the water of the spring, but also take a shower.

The lake is very rich in plankton. It contains many amphipod crustaceans that omul feed on. Ichthyologists launched fry of Baikal omul, Mongolian grayling, peled, ripus, vendace into Sut-Khol. Scientists believe that Sut-Khol - perfect place for breeding these fish.

The lake has very clean air and absolute silence. Since ancient times, Sut-Khol has been considered sacred, its name of the lake in translation means "milk lake", and the Tuvan milk symbolizes purity. To this day, no one can swim in the sacred lake. It is believed that if someone breaks the peace of the lake, clouds will instantly come and hail will begin. Perhaps that is why the purity of lake water is comparable only to Lake Baikal, because no one dares not only to pollute the water, but also to leave garbage on its shores. On the lake, no one really breaks the peace, this is - sacred place.

Sut-Khol is also the birthplace of the most famous storytellers and the most powerful Tuvan fighters, which is also attributed to the influence of the sacred lake.

There is a legend among the people. In ancient times, an old witch woman settled by the lake. She cooked medicinal decoctions from Sut-Khol herbs, chanted spells, sent a thunderstorm to the taiga. Once a witch threw a large vat of milk into the waters of Sut-Khol. In the morning, people did not recognize the lake: it became snow-white, as if filled with milk. Since then, people began to notice that on the Sut-Khol pastures, cows give a lot of milk, thick as cream. Not for nothing, Sut-Khol is translated into Russian and means - Milk Lake.

Sut-Khol is remembered by everyone who has seen it at least once. Bizarre peninsulas, wild rocks, white clouds are reflected in the water, as in a mirror. In the early morning hours, Sut-Khol shines with cast silver. It is also beautiful in the evening. From the setting sun, a golden path will run through the water, the sky will turn red, the water will turn red, the traveler will freeze, enchanted by the fabulous beauty of Sut-Khola.


The lake lies not far from the stormy Khemchik, in the spurs of the Western Sayan, at an altitude of 1800 meters above sea level. Its length from west to east is seven to eight kilometers. Near Sut-Khol you can see the rounded wooded mountain Bora-Taiga, the rocky top of which is crowned with a wooden pyramid built by topographers. From the south, the dome of the Kyzyl-Taiga rose over the lake. It offers a magnificent view of the Khemchik Basin. On the shores of the lake, larch trees, slender spruces, and handsome cedars have risen. On the green moss, the flowers of the round-leaved pears turn pink, the droplets of lingonberries glow, and the badan grows.

There is a legend among the people. In ancient times, an old witch woman settled by the lake. She cooked medicinal decoctions from Sut-Khol herbs, chanted spells, sent a thunderstorm to the taiga. But even her, grumpy and quarrelsome, was conquered by the shepherds with their generous soul. One evening, the witch went to the shore of Sut-Khol, splashed a large vat of milk into it. People woke up in the morning and did not recognize the lake. It was white, whitish, as if filled to the brim with milk. They ran to the very shore and saw that it was not milk, but a fog covered the water with a white veil. Since then, people began to notice that on the Sut-Khol pastures, cows give a lot of milk, thick as cream. Sut-Khol is translated into Russian and means - Milk Lake.

Another legend claims that a mysterious monster - a bull - lives in the depths of the lake. It rarely shows up on the surface of the water. And when it comes up, the lake seethes and makes noise. The wind hits the shores, bursts reach the taiga.

Ichthyologists launched fry of Baikal omul, Mongolian grayling, peled, ripus, vendace into Sut-Khol. Scientists believe that Sut-Khol is an ideal place for breeding these fish. The lake water is fresh and extremely clear. Its purity can be compared with the famous Baikal. The lake is rich in plankton. It contains a lot of amphipods, which are very fond of omuli.

Small rivulets rush to the lake from the west. Their banks are a common place for herders' camps. In the southeast, the Khol-Ozhu river flows out of Sut-Khol. The gorge, along which she paved the way, will not be inferior to the Caucasian gorge in its picturesqueness and savagery. Yellow rocks shot up into the sky above the river. At their foot, trails of stone debris are visible. Hol-Oju is rapidly rushing down, forming small waterfalls in places. Bushes of red and black currants hang over the river. Irises, bells, lilies are blooming. Gooseberries huddle in the crevices of the rocks. The path rushes from one bank to the other.

Not far from Sut-Khol, the arzhaan Ulug-Dorgun beats. The water temperature in the spring is plus 4.2 degrees. According to the old Tuvan custom, the trees near it are hung with offerings to the spirit of the mountains. In summer, the tents of the tourists are visible near the arzhaanchik. People drink water and take a shower. Ulug-Dorgun restores health to many.

Sacred Sut-Khol
Amir Dulush, an employee of the Department of Culture of the Sut-Khol region, spoke about the unique lake Sut-Khol and the tourist base "Sut-Khol".
“Sut-Khol is a fresh high-mountainous lake. The height of the lake above sea level is 1814 meters. Since ancient times, Sut-Khol has been considered sacred, and the name of the lake in translation means "milk lake", and Tuvans' milk symbolizes purity. The lake is considered sacred to this day, no one is allowed to swim there, if someone breaks the peace of the lake, then the clouds come in instantly, hail begins. Perhaps that is why the purity of the waters in it is comparable only to Lake Baikal. Sut-Khol is also the birthplace of the most famous storytellers and the most powerful fighters, and this is also considered to be the influence of the sacred lake.
On the lake, no one really breaks the peace, this is a sacred place. The guides tell all our tourists the legend about the sacred bull that came out of the lake to share its blood with people and save them from terrible diseases. The lake has very clean air and absolute silence. Therefore, we want to combine leisure with meditation.
Our project "Tourist base" Sut-Khol "has been operating for more than 10 years. But so far only in summer time... Tourists live in a tent-yurt town. We can offer vacationers any cuisine, national, European. We can deliver food to a yurt, we can cook it outdoors, we also have a canteen. Of course, we wanted the camp site to work all year round. For this, it is necessary to build good winter houses, organize ski trips, and amateur ice fishing. The lake is inhabited by Mongolian grayling, peled, omul, vendace.
We have developed several horse and hiking trails in historical and sacred places. Sut-Khol is the territory of 60 heroes, in 2013 we will celebrate the 130th anniversary of this uprising. Tourists will be interested to look at the unique monument of cultural and historical heritage Ulug Ovaa. This is a sign of the border between Khakassia and Tuva. Ovaa is made of special stones, on which letters and horoscopes are engraved in two languages. And of course, one cannot pass by the arzhaans, which are located on the Kyzyl-Taiga mountain. All three sources are radon. For example, the water in the arzhaan Shaarash (Dorgun) + 4.2 degrees, and very healing, heals from diseases of the endocrine, musculoskeletal and respiratory systems. You can get to the lake in two ways, one of them - on foot, passes just through the Shaarash spring. And another route can be overcome by car through the village of Bora-Taiga, the road to the lake is mountain-taiga and very beautiful.
In summer, shepherds' camps are located around Lake Sut-Khol, so the development of rural tourism seems to us the most promising direction: many seek to relax away from noisy cities, among the silence of pristine nature. The shepherd's camp combines scientific, cultural and ethnic tourism; this type of recreation is considered one of the available, does not require large expenses. In addition, rural tourism is an active rest: tourists are invited to become participants in the traditional life of the Arat family, to get acquainted with the life of the shepherds, with the national cuisine.
It will be very interesting for tourists from big cities to plunge into a completely different culture, milk goats, cows, learn how to make skins, and sew national clothes. Men will be taught to lasso horses, teach national games. That is, people can be so busy that they will definitely not be bored. And the rest itself in such a picturesque place is worth a lot.
Today, the main problem of tourism development in the region is the lack of investment resources and infrastructure. It would be nice to build cable car, in this case, it will take half an hour to get from the regional center to the foot of the mountain. Ideally, the construction of a roadbed would allow any tourist to get to the lake by personal transport. But on the other hand, tourists who come to Sut-Khol expect to see a unique place. And the uniqueness of Sut-Khol is, first of all, in its pristine perfection, untouched nature. It's like getting into a fairy tale, so vacationers honor our lake and follow all the rules. Many tourists come to us not for the first time, for example, participants of the Ustuu-Khuree festival, and just enjoy such an amazing vacation. And horseback riding is exotic for many ”.

One of the best places to tourist rest in the Tuva Republic, one can name the Sut-Khol lake, located on the territory of the Sut-Khol kozhuun. This picturesque body of water is hidden from prying eyes in the spurs mountain range Western Sayan, at an altitude of 1.8 kilometers above sea level, surrounded by spreading firs, larches and cedars. The beauty of these places is simply mesmerizing. Not far from the lake rises Mount Bora-Taiga, the top of which is crowned with a man-made wooden pyramid, installed here by topographers. The surrounding forests are replete with currants and lingonberries, which can be collected in whole baskets, and berry, wintergreens and other flowers grow in open areas, pleasing the eye with their variegation. In the immediate vicinity of Lake Sut-Khol there is a tourist base of the same name, which has been receiving guests for more than 10 years. Here you can stay in a yurt camp, equipped with all the benefits of civilization, and taste Tuvan cuisine, which will be delivered to you directly to the yurt. Alternative options are three meals a day in the dining room, and barbecue on the grill.

Peculiarities

Even Baikal can envy the purity of the water of Lake Sut-Khol, but, unfortunately, you cannot swim in it. The fact is that this reservoir is considered sacred among local residents, and ablutions in it are punishable by terrible curses. Believe in these legends or not is a private matter for everyone, but it is clearly not worth neglecting them, if only out of respect for the traditions of Tuvans. It is noteworthy that near the lake there is the Ulug-Dorgun mineral spring, the water of which is allowed to be used not only for drinking, but also for swimming. However, its temperature barely reaches 5 degrees, and such a test can only be done by real "walruses". Recently, Sut-Khol began to be used for fish farming. Fry of grayling, ripus, peled and omul were brought here, which have taken root well in the new place and have already managed to give birth to offspring. Small crustaceans, which are found in huge quantities in the lake, have become the main food source for these fish. At the moment, fishing on Sut-Khol is prohibited, and vacationers come here only for recreation and health improvement. The most beautiful landscapes of these places often become the backdrop for photographs, and the most successful angles can be caught on the southeast coast, at the source of the Hol-Ozhu River, which forms a gorge with waterfalls and bizarre rocks.

Legends

One of the Tuvan legends says that the reservoir got its name thanks to an old witch who lived in these places in time immemorial. During the preparation of the next broth, she threw a vat of milk into the water, and the whole lake turned white. Since then, the cows grazing on its banks began to give thick, fatty milk, similar to cream, and the reservoir itself began to be called "Sut-Khol" - "Milk Lake". Another legend tells of a mythical creature - a bull that lives in the depths of the lake and helps people in their misfortunes. Every time the bull comes to the surface, the lake begins to boil and foam, and a thunderstorm begins in the sky and a squall wind blows.

How to get there

Nearest locality to the Sut-Khol lake - the village of Sug-Aksy, which can be reached from the regional center by a good asphalt highway. A country road leads to the shores of the reservoir from the village, which is often washed away by rains, and even an SUV cannot always drive along it. On the way, you will have to overcome a steep pass, which is possible only under favorable weather conditions.

Introduction

Lake Sut-Khol is one of the most beautiful places in Tuva. Visitors to our small homeland admire her. The beauty of our mountain lake is praised by our writers, singers, artists in their works.

In 2010, the administration of our kozhuun adoptedTarget program "Development of tourism in Sut-Khol kozhuun for 2011-2012". The program is designed in accordance with the state policy in the field of tourism in kozhuun. One of the directions of this program is carrying out active advertising activities aimed at creating a favorable tourist and recreational image of the kozhuun. It contains the most relevant proposals and measures to create a legal, organizational, managerial and economic environment favorable for further development tourism industry in kozhuun. And based on this program, we decided to create a booklet about the Sut-Khol lake in English.

We are faced with the following tasks:

  1. Find the most accurate information about the Sut-Khol lake from the media, encyclopedias, dictionaries.
  2. Recreate photo stories from the Internet.
  3. Make the most accurate translation of texts from Russian into English.
  4. And based on these sources, create a booklet about the Sut-Khol lake in English.

Research objectis the texts about the Sut-Khol lake.

The lack of special literature about Lake Sut-Khol in English allowstalk about the relevance of our research.

The main research methodis descriptive, represented by techniques of observation, interpretation and generalization. An experimental technique was also used in the work.

Scope and structure of work:

The work consists of an introduction, two chapters, a conclusion and literature and an appendix.

Practical valueof this work is the possibility of using its results in teaching English (at home reading lessons), as well as as an advertisement for the tourist base of our kozhuun.

  1. Information about the location of the Sut-Khol lake.

Sut-Khol district is located in the northwestern part of the republic. It borders in the south with Dzun-Khemchiksky, in the west with Barun-Khemchiksky, in the east with the Chaa-Khol kozhuuns of the Tyva Republic, in the north with the Republic of Khakassia.

The regional center - the village of Sug-Aksy - is located in the middle part of the Sut-Khol district (kozhuun). The population of the kozhuun is 8694 people (2009) central regions and the capital of the republic. The distance from the district (kozhuunny) center to the capital of the Republic of Tyva - Kyzyl is 286 km, and to the nearest railway stations - respectively: 323 km (Abaza) and 730 km (Abakan). The main means of communication connecting the kozhuun with other kozhuuns of the republic is motor transport.

In the central part of the kozhuun, there is the Khemchik Basin, in the north of the kozhuun there are high mountains. Most of kozhuun (51.0%) is occupied by forests with cedar, poplar, larch, birch, bird cherry, aspen. And also sea buckthorn, currants, blueberries and others. In terms of the area occupied by sea buckthorn, the fruits of which contain a large amount of vitamin "C", kozhuun occupies one of the leading places in the republic.

From west to east flows the river "Khemchik" with tributaries "Alash", "Ak", "Ustuu-Ishkin", "Aldyy-Ishkin", "Shele", "Terektig", "Shom-Shum".

The main direction of kozhuun is agricultural.

The climate is sharply continental. The lowest observed temperature in winter is 50 ° С, the average January temperature is 30 degrees below zero. The winter period lasts about 180 days. The hollow nature of the region's relief, with the general predominance of the anticyclonic regime in winter, contributes to the accumulation of cold air in the basin and its additional cooling.

The hot and dry summer comes at the end of May and lasts 85 days. The average temperature in July is +20 degrees, the maximum is +38 degrees. No frosts are observed during the summer. Spring frosts usually end at the end of the second decade of May, but in some years they are also observed at the beginning of June. Autumn frosts begin in the third decade of September, in some years at the end of August. The duration of the warm (temperature above +10 degrees) period is about 125 days. Generally, climatic conditions this area is notable for its severity.

On the territory of the region (kozhuun) from the explored deposits of minerals, lime burning is involved in the economic turnover in the village. Aldan-Maadyr, and a deposit of brick clays in the village. Ak-Dash is planned to turn over in the coming years.

The kozhuun consists of 7 rural settlements uniting 39 settlements:

Ak-Dash rural settlement - with. Ak-Dash;

Aldan-Maadyr rural settlement - with. Aldan-Maadyr;

Bora-Taiginskoye rural settlement - with. Bora Taiga;

Ishkinskoe rural settlement - with. Ishkin;

Kara-Chyraan rural settlement - with. Kara-Chyraa;

Kyzyl-Taiginskoye rural settlement - with. Kyzyl-Taiga;

Sug-Aksynskoe rural settlement - with. Sug-Aksy.

In the village of Aldan-Maadyr - a branch of the eponymous republican museum of local lore. Here in 1883-1885. there was a Tuvan people's "uprising of 60 heroes" (Tuv. Aldan Maadyr) against the oppression of the Manchu Qing dynasty, under whose protectorate Tuva was at the end of the 19th century. The uprising was brutally suppressed. It is believed that it contributed to the rallying of the Tuvan people and the growth of national self-awareness.

On the territory of kozhuun at an altitude of 1814 meters above sea level there is a mountain freshwater lake "Sut-Khol" , in which are bred: peled, omul, Mongolian grayling.

Sut-Khol is a fresh high-mountainous lake. The height of the lake above sea level is 1814 meterslength 7 km, width -2-4 km, depth - more than 50 m. Since ancient times, Sut-Khol has been considered sacred, and the name of the lake in translation means "milk lake", and Tuvan milk symbolizes purity. The lake is considered sacred to this day, no one is allowed to swim there, if someone breaks the peace of the lake, then the clouds come in instantly, hail begins. Perhaps that is why the purity of the waters in it is comparable only to Lake Baikal. And Sut-Khol is also the birthplace of the most famous storytellers and the most powerful fighters, and this is also considered to be the influence of the sacred lake.

  1. Lake Sut-Khol in legends.

The purity of the lake's waters is comparable only to Lake Baikal. Since ancient times, the lake has been considered sacred, it is not without reason that all Tuvan fairy tales and legends begin with the words “a long time ago, when Lake Sut-Khol was a small puddle, and Mount Sumber-Uula was a hummock….”.

There is a legend that once upon a time the owner of the lake Koldun kok-Bugazy lived in the lake "(Lake Blue Bull), when the owner began to leave the lake, thunder roared, lightning flashed, and waves began to walk on the lake, more than human height. , and crashed with force on the rocky shores.

Another legend lives among the people. In ancient times, an old witch woman settled by the lake. She cooked medicinal decoctions from Sut-Khol herbs, chanted spells, sent a thunderstorm to the taiga. But even her, grumpy and quarrelsome, was conquered by the shepherds with their generous soul. One evening, the sorceress went to the shore of Sut-Khol, splashed a large vat of milk into it. People woke up in the morning and did not recognize the lake. It was white, whitish, as if filled to the brim with milk. They ran to the very shore and saw that it was not milk, but a fog covered the water with a white veil. Since then, people began to notice that on the Sut-Khol pastures, cows give a lot of milk, thick as cream. Sut-Khol is translated into Russian and means - Milk Lake.

Since ancient times, Sut-Khol has been considered sacred, and the name of the lake in translation means "milk lake", and Tuvan milk symbolizes purity. The lake is considered sacred to this day, no one is allowed to swim there, if someone breaks the peace of the lake, then the clouds come in instantly, hail begins. Perhaps that is why the purity of the waters in it is comparable only to Lake Baikal. Sut-Khol is also the birthplace of the most famous storytellers and the most powerful fighters, and this is also considered to be the influence of the sacred lake.

Conclusion.

As a result of the materials we collected from the media, the texts were translated into English in the following form:

  1. Information about our area as the mountain lake of the Republic of Tyva is located in the Sut-Khol kozhuun.
  2. Information about the Sut-Khol lake itself.
  3. Legends and legends about the Sut-Khol lake.
  4. What the camp site on the Sut-Khol lake offers for its visitors.

As a result, we published a booklet in English for the future tourist base of the Sut-Khol kozhuun.

One of the expected results of the kozhuun target program is to increase the interest of the local population, including the younger generation, in the culture and history of the kozhuun. We concluded that our research work has made little contribution to this targeted program. Summing up, we hope that our unique Sut-Khol Lake will become a haven, a cradle for foreign tourists. And we will be able to communicate with them in their language, that is, in English.
