Sengiley

Description of the picture

The water of the Sengiley reservoir feeds a quarter of the population of the Stavropol Territory.
But not everyone knows that the lake is an ancient hollow of the former Maykop Sea
Millions of years ago, there was water on the site of the Stavropol Upland, Sarmatian dolphins and prehistoric ancestors of modern whales swam here.
Many legends and legends are transmitted by people about who lives in the Sengiley reservoir. Eyewitnesses talk about giant creatures.
Scientists believe that these huge underwater monsters are just adult catfish.

But the secrets of Sengilei do not end with monsters and mermaids. It is curious that the water in the lake is fresh only in the upper layers, and in the lower layers it is salty, as it is in contact with ancient sea clays. At the same time, fresh water can be drunk without any filtration - it is so pure and tasty.
