Donuzlav

About

Lake Donuzlav (Russian and, Crimean Tatar: Doñuzlav), also referred to as Donuzlav Bay, is the deepest lake of Crimea (27 m, 89 ft) and biggest in Chornomorske Raion (47 km2, 18 sq mi). It is a protected landscape and recreational park of the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. The lake is as salty as the sea near its mouth but bottom springs make the water much less saline near the head.
