About
Botkul (Kazakh: Боткөл; Russian: Боткуль) is a bittern salt lake in the Kazakhstan–Russia border.
There is no salt mining at the lake. Its waters have a bitter, stinging taste and a strong smell of hydrogen sulfide. The authorities are exploring the potential of developing Botkul as a tourist attraction.
