Historians are still arguing why it is called Black. According to one version, it happened because the water is colored with humic acids and it seems dark. But there is another story. In the Time of Troubles, locals hid on the island, but the Poles found them, hacked or drowned, surrounding the pine forest burned. The island turned into a black ashes. He, like the lake, was called Black. In the village of Maslyany Gorki, which was located on the same island, they made butter for lambs, which were served on the royal table.

Lake on land

The next "Black Lake" in our list is not a lake at all. This is a city park in Kazan. Once upon a time there really was a lake with this name. Around were made green plantations, and the banks are trimmed with ledges. The water was unusually clean, but eventually swam, and local authorities decided to fall asleep on the pond. And the park remained. At the end of the last century it was the main place of Kazan's festivities. Here was a restaurant, pavilions of photographs, a fountain, which in the winter turned into a skating rink. And in the 30-ies of the twentieth century, there was installed the "Arch of Lovers", which has amazing acoustics. This is not all objects with the mysterious name "Black Lake".
