Lake Danilovo is one of the most famous small lakes in the Novosibirsk region, it is located on the territory of the land use of the village of Malokrasnoyarka, Kyshtovsky district, Novosibirsk region. In the northwest direction at a distance of about 1 km is the nearest locality- the village of Kurganka, Muromtsevsky district Omsk region.
The shape of the lake is an oval, while the length is 0.78 km and the width is 0.45 km. The area of ​​the lake is 29 hectares, including the surface area of ​​the lake - 21 hectares. The depth of the lake increases towards the center according to the data of scuba divers. In 1975, the expedition of D.N. Fialkov in the center of the lake set a depth of 18 m.
The shores are gently sloping, the southeastern shore has a hard sandy sloping bottom, the opposite one is swampy, swampy with a belt up to 50 m wide of reed-reed vegetation, which makes it difficult to approach the shore. On all sides the coast is surrounded by centuries-old pines, there are lonely bushes of bird cherry, mountain ash, viburnum and honeysuckle, aspen, in the Malokrasnoyarsk direction adjoins a birch forest. More than 10 rare and endangered species of plants are found in the flora of the lake and the coastal zone: brilliant pondweed, common watercress, white water lily, yellow water lily ... Along the shore, thickets of marsh cinquefoil, reeds, reeds and cattails rise from the water.
The water is very transparent, at a depth of up to 3-5 meters the bottom is visible, in shallow water schools of fish fry are visible. The transparency of water along the Sekke disk reaches 4 meters, in the neighboring Tara River and neighboring lakes - from a few centimeters to 2 meters. A huge array of pine forests, like deep springs, ensures the purity of the waters entering the lake. Fresh water, according to GOST is considered drinking.
Local residents do not know exactly about the origin of the name of the lake. Old-timers say that in the distant 20s of the last century, the merchant Danila, fleeing from Soviet power, fell through with a cart of silver, moving through this lake, from which the water in it became healing, and the lake was named after the merchant.
Sometimes the lake is called the "Pearl of Siberia" because of the unusual legends about the origin of the lake and the healing properties of its water. It is believed, according to the legend, that Danilovo, like the lakes Urmannoe, Lenevo, Shaitan Lake and the undiscovered Potayonnoe, have the same origin - they were formed from the fall of five fragments of a large meteorite and all these 5 lakes are connected by the underground Shaitan River. The lakes are located approximately at an equal distance from each other in the form of the letter “G”, they have approximately the same shape and size, moreover, the water from all reservoirs does not deteriorate for a long time. According to the opinion of clairvoyants Olga Gurbanovich, who lives in Nizhnevartovsk, and eight-year-old Lisa Podvysotskaya from the Komi Republic, people did not fully appreciate the peculiarity of water from all reservoirs: a swimmer in all lakes will acquire immortality. The local storyteller P. Ershov based this beautiful legend on the basis of the fairy tale "The Little Humpbacked Horse".
In 2003-2004, Omsk geophysicists established with the help of instruments that below the bottom of the lake, at a depth of about 45-50 meters, there is a powerful aquifer called an underground river. Inspection of a dozen pits, the study of cliffs on both banks of the Tara River showed the identity of alternating layers of clay and sand in all cases, as is usually the case with river and lake sediments. I. A. Vyatkin, director of the Federal State Institution “Territorial Information Fund for the Omsk Region”, offers his hypothesis of the creation of the lake: “More than 20-40 thousand years ago, when the north of Western Siberia was covered with a glacier, a lake already existed on the watershed plain. As a result of the melting of the glacier, a valley of ancient runoff was formed, which also covered the lake. Then there was a slow uplift of land. The melt water expanded the lake basin, the lake separated from the general flow (the Tara River), while the release of small particles of soil from the lower layers is quite likely.
From the legends it is clear that the bottom of Lake Danilovo is triple! .. Scuba divers tested this legend. It turned out that there is some truth in this. Thick layers of algae are located in the water column in three floors. Each layer is, as it were, in limbo. Algae roots take everything they need for life directly from the water.
Water and mud have healing properties. Infusions and decoctions prepared from Danilovskaya water are highly effective, and the water rejuvenates the body well. It helps not only in the treatment of skin diseases, but also in toothache. Due to the high saturation of water with iodine in the Danilovo and Lenevo lakes, it is possible to heal patients with a thyroid gland. There are known cases of getting rid of skin cancer, throat cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, psoriasis, arthritis and arthrosis and many other intractable diseases with the help of Danilov Lake water, although the healing properties of water have not been fully studied. On the shore of the lake there is a deposit of green-bluish clay, which is used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Vacationers take clay and water from the lake in canisters, flasks and other containers. Since 2009, “local pilgrims”, having performed the Epiphany rite of bathing in the lake, “fill flasks and canisters with sacred water”.
There is a recreation area next to the lake. Along the entire southern sandy coast there are tents, and simply campsites for vacationers.

It is located on the territory of the Kyshtovsky district of the Novosibirsk region (70 km west of the village of Kyshtovka) on the border with the Muromtsevsky district of the Omsk region.

According to legend, the lake was formed at the site of a meteorite fall, hence its amazing property - pure water with a high content of silver. The meteorite broke up into five parts - hence the name of the Five Lakes system (this includes Lake Danilovo, Lenevo, Shaitan Lake, Urmannoye, Hidden)

Who wants to keep company and get to such interesting place, unsubscribe, I'll keep you in mind;)

The lake is located within 1 km from the village of Kurganka, Omsk region. The diameter of the lake is one kilometer. The depth of the lake is 10 meters more than that of the nearby Tara River - 17 meters; transparency of water - 5 meters. The shores are gently sloping, near the water they are overgrown with cattail and reeds, and above - with pine, birch and aspen. Around the Danilovo lake there are two shafts, one and a half meters high and with a distance between the ridges of ten meters. The lake does not look like any body of water in the Novosibirsk region, and rather resembles a mountain one: it is practically not overgrown with aquatic vegetation, very deep, with clean, clear water.

Also, according to legend, if you swim in each of the lakes in a certain order, you can be healed of any disease. But the difficulty is that one lake has not yet been found, although it is said that it is in full view of everyone .. hence the name - Hidden Lake.

Danilovo Lake is very popular among those who come to it because it has healing properties. The water is enriched with oxygen, numerous springs gush from the bottom, and there is healing clay on the shore, which is what pilgrims use.
Also this lake and the area around it are famous mystical place, because UFOs are almost constantly observed, people have various visions and stuff like that. People also believe that if you make a wish here, it will surely come true. Therefore, another name for Danilov Lake is the Lake of Desires.

How to get there:
Coordinates N 56° 25.582" , E 75° 50.654"
1. Drive through Vengerovo to Kyshtovka (600 km from Novosibirsk, about 400 km from Omsk), and from there to Malokrasnoyarka (about 50 km from Kyshtovka), then ask, anyone will show you.
2. Through the Omsk region. From Novosibirsk along the Omsk highway through the entire Novosibirsk region to the turn to Kalachinsk. From there, the route is as follows: Kalachinsk - Gorkovskoye - Alekseevka - Muromtsevo - Kondratievo - Kurganka. From Novosibirsk should get about 870 km. Before Alekseevka there will be a section of broken road, but there is a parallel road across the field (10 km, speed 60-70 km/h without killing the suspension). And between Alekseevka and Muromtsevo there are about 60 km of broken asphalt (speed 40-80 km / h). Otherwise, you can safely drive 120-140 km / h. There is "ALPI" in Kalachinsk, so you don't have to bring food with you.

studies of water and silt of lakes Linevo and Danilovo
Omsk region
bioindication method on human cell culture HEP-2
The research was carried out by a group consisting of:
Mikhailova L.P., Doctor of Medicine Sci., Leading Researcher of the Laboratory of Morphology and Cell Cultures of the Scientific Center for Clinical and Experimental Medicine of the Academy of Medical Sciences - head of work,
Ignatovich N.V. Senior Researcher, Ph.D.,
Akhromenko E.S. Researcher.
The above water was received by the laboratory of morphology and cell cultures to be studied for
1. toxicity,
2. activating properties of water that affect the growth of cell culture and increase its viability (SP),
3. cell division, i.e. mitotic activity of cell culture (MA%)
4. study of cellular protein synthesis
The research was carried out on cell culture Hep - 2.
Methodology
After the formation of a cell monolayer, the culture medium was replaced with a nutrient medium containing the test water. Cell culture without water addition served as a control. Morphological preparations were prepared for 48, 72 and 120 hours according to the general accepted method, the total number of cells (Sp) and mitoses (cell division MA%) were counted under a microscope according to the method of S. B. Stefanov.
............
Lake water Danilovo
The exposure is 48 hours. Water has even greater bioenergetic activity: there are 40% more cells in the monolayer than in the control (!), mitotic activity is high (control - 0.6%, experiment - 1.0%). Pathology of mitoses - no.
At an exposure of 72 hours, compared to 48 hours of exposure, cells grew by 28% more, high mitotic activity (cell division) (control - 0.9%, experience - 1.2%).
Studies of the bioenergetic activity of waters, surveyed lakes, confirm that water High Quality and has a high bioenergetic activity, ie. can increase the bioenergetics of not only the cell, but also the person.
Such water is unique in its properties and is suitable as high-quality drinking water and for the preparation of medicinal and other solutions.
Conclusions.
The study of the water of the lake. Linevo especially from the surface of the lake, and from the depths showed that the water good quality, actively affects the growth of cells, and hence the person. Suitable as drinking water. It should be noted that water taken from the surface is more active. In our opinion, this is explained by the fact that the water surface is more exposed to solar and cosmic (interplanetary magnetic field, gravitation) influence, leading to structural rearrangements in water molecules. In previous experiments of our institute (IKEM SB RAMS), we studied these questions, and the answer was unambiguous.
As for the silt of the lake. Linevo, it also actively affects the cells, and hence the person. Both water and sludge, given the results of protein synthesis, cell monolayer, cell mitosis, active monolayer growth (SP) can have medicinal properties.
Lake water research Danilovo showed, as before (results of 2002), a high activity of the monolayer, which exceeds this parameter than in the lake. Linevo.
Cells grow well from 48 hours to 120 hours, they are healthy, shiny, with large nuclei, nucleoli, ready for synthesis (i.e., further growth, since a large amount of protein accumulates).
It has been established that the water and silt of the lake. Linevo and Danilovo, especially Danilovo, actively increase the viability of the biosystem: cells and, a priori, human beings, not only by their qualities, elevated cell growth, an increase in the number of mitoses, an increase in the synthesis of cellular protein, but also the presence of bioenergetics.
When comparing the water quality of the lake. Linevo and Danilovo with another control monolayer of cells with the addition of tap water (see Tables 1 and 1a) clearly shows how active these water samples are in their effect on human cells: they increase viability (Sp), a greater number of dividing cells are observed and that very important, a high synthesis of cellular protein is always recorded. The studied lake water has a bioenergetic activity (see Table 3) that exceeds that of tap water, depending on the exposure time, by 24–45%; the number of mitoses is also always much greater than that of tap water.
And according to this indicator, the water of the lakes is unique and suitable for a person with its high quality.
The water of Linevo and Danilovo lakes is of high quality. It is unique in its properties and is suitable as high-quality drinking water, as well as for the preparation of medicinal and other various solutions to improve human health.

The purpose of this article is to summarize information from various sources about Lake Danilovo, its state and biological value, and to develop recommendations for further purposeful use.

The main attraction of the Kyshtovsky district of the Novosibirsk region is Lake Danilovo, which is distinguished by soft, clean, clear water and, according to research by specialists, has healing properties. The water of Lake Danilovo is a natural oxygen cocktail: the lake has a large number of springs that enrich it with oxygen, which, according to scientists, gives healing properties to water, improving metabolic processes in the body and activating its immune systems. It is unique in its properties and is suitable as high-quality drinking water, as well as for the preparation of medicinal and other various solutions to improve human health.

Lake Danilovo is one of the most famous small lakes in the Novosibirsk region, it is located on the territory of the land use of the village of Malokrasnoyarka, Kyshtovsky district, Novosibirsk region. In the north-western direction, at a distance of about 1 km, there is the nearest settlement - the village of Kurganka, Muromtsevsky district, Omsk region. According to the memoirs of old-timers, the area with the lake often moved from one area to another.

The shape of the lake is an oval, while the length is 0.8 km and the width is 0.5 km. The depth of the lake increases towards the center, according to scuba divers in some places it reaches up to 16-17 meters. The nearby lakes Mishukhinskoye, Linevo, Krivoe, Grunichkino, Yelnichnoye, Abramochkino, Lipovskoye, Glubokoe (within a radius of 5 km from the lake on the territory of the Kyshtovsky district) are significantly inferior in depth and size to this lake. The shores are gently sloping, the southeastern shore has a hard sandy sloping bottom, the opposite one is swampy, swampy. From all sides the coast is surrounded by centuries-old pines, there are lonely bushes of bird cherry, mountain ash, viburnum and honeysuckle, aspen. In the Malokrasnoyarsk direction, a birch forest adjoins.

The water is very transparent, at a depth of up to 3-5 meters the bottom is visible, in shallow water schools of fish fry are visible. Thickets of reeds and cattails rise from the water along the shore. Swimming along the lake, you can meet rare water lilies…

Old-timers say that in the distant 20s of the last century, the merchant Danila, fleeing from Soviet power, fell through with a cart of silver, moving through this lake, from which the water in it became healing, and the lake was named after the merchant.

Sometimes the lake is called the "Pearl of Siberia" because of the unusual legends about the origin of the lake and the healing properties of its water. It is believed, according to legend, that Danilovo, like the lakes Urmannoye, Lenevo (often also called Linevo, like the neighboring lake in the Lesser Krasnoyarsk territory), Shaitan Lake and the unfound Hidden have the same origin - they were formed from the fall of five fragments of a large meteorite and all these 5 lakes are connected by the underground Shaitan River. Omsk researchers do not want to accept the opinion that Urmannoye, located in the east, 12 km from Malokrasnoyarka (behind the village of Malaya Skyrla), is one of the five lakes, they offer their own version - Lake Pike. The lakes are located approximately at an equal distance from each other in the form of the letter “G”, they have approximately the same shape and size, moreover, the water from all reservoirs does not deteriorate for a long time. According to the opinion of clairvoyants Olga Gurbanovich, who lives in Nizhnevartovsk, and eight-year-old Lisa Podvysotskaya from the Komi Republic, people did not fully appreciate the peculiarity of water from all reservoirs: a swimmer in all lakes will acquire immortality. The local storyteller P. Ershov based this beautiful legend on the basis of the fairy tale "The Little Humpbacked Horse".

There is also information that in the left part of the lake, using an echo sounder, a depression 67 meters deep was recorded. Such a depth allegedly indicates its meteorite origin. Local residents “saw” how eleven men caught a large stone, presumably of meteorite origin, located at the bottom of the lake and pulled it ashore. The next day they wanted to take him away, but he suddenly disappeared without a trace. There is an opinion that there are eyewitnesses not only of UFO flights, but also of visits to these places by aliens, which indicates that the lake seems to be under the scrutiny of extraterrestrial civilizations.

The fall of the meteorite is due to the amazing property of the lake - clear water, which supposedly contains an abnormally large amount of silver. For a long time, it was argued that due to the content of silver, the water of the lake has healing properties, so it is used by residents to treat various diseases. Currently, this legend has not yet received scientific confirmation, scientists suggest that the lake was formed by washing out soft sedimentary rocks with groundwater.

From the legends it appears that three lakes - Danilovo, Lenevo and Urmannoe - are connected by an underground river, the water in them is "holy" - it does not deteriorate for years, moreover, it can heal many diseases. The bottom of Lake Danilovo is triple!.. Scuba divers tested this legend. It turned out that there is some truth in this. Thick layers of algae are located in the water column in three floors, while each layer is, as it were, in limbo, and the roots of algae take everything they need for life directly from the water. The same divers found out that drowned people do not reach the bottom, but settle in the water. These effects in lake water at depth are created due to the high saturation with salts.

Water and mud have healing properties. Infusions and decoctions prepared from Danilovskaya water are highly effective, and the water rejuvenates the body well. It helps not only in the treatment of skin diseases, but also in toothache. Due to the high saturation of water with iodine in the Danilovo and Lenevo lakes, it is possible to heal patients with a thyroid gland. The healing properties of water were reported to the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR A. N. Kosygin. In his book “Okunevsky Ark”, Muromtsev writer Mikhail Rechkin claims that the lake is energetically connected with a certain underground Temple near the village of Okunevo, located in the Omsk region, and that the healing power of the lake’s water lies not only in how much it contains certain microelements , but also in the still inexplicable energy-informational factor.

In the village of Malokrasnoyarka, this lake was first discussed in the 60s. Kuzma Kuzmich Mizgirev, the former chairman of the collective farm named after Lenin (that was the name of social production), wrote in his memoirs of that time in the regional newspaper Pravda Severa that the shepherd Sergei Fomich Frolov, who suffered from a skin disease, accidentally dropped the bark into the Danilov water. Putting them on his hands, he felt a decrease in pain in the palm of his hand, and by evening he found that the skin had become softer, the wounds were less painful. Soon after several “procedures”, the hands were cleansed and the shepherd, satisfied with the result, returned home and boasted of his healing. Soon the whole region started talking about the magical effect of water. (The fact that S. F. Frolov walked all summer in the golitsy is currently confirmed by other local old-timers).

Until the 1990s, Lake Danilovo and the nature around it were fabulous and virgin, rarely a human foot set foot here. Years passed and the rumor about the picturesque lake, and even having healing properties, quickly spread. People in cars rushed to the lake in search of health and relaxation. In the 90s, in the month of July, it was no longer possible to find a parking place.

The lake began to die: women were washing clothes right in the lake, cattle were grazed on the shore. In 1991, a large number of dead fry were found. And only by the effort of common sense, in subsequent years, arbitrariness and disorder were stopped, some kind of balance with nature was established. But the flow of tourists increased. Rumors about the uniqueness of the natural reservoir also grew.

In 1985, after a big flood, full-flowing Tara entered the lake on its own, there were no vacationers on the lake that year. The anthropogenic factor, in order to enrich the shallowing lake with water and fish, led to clogging of the water in the lake: in 2002, a canal was dug that connected the lake with the local river Tara. The water from the river was coffee-colored, it significantly reduced the transparency of the water in the lake and was able to pass self-cleaning only after a year.

There are known cases of getting rid of skin cancer, throat cancer, stomach cancer, breast cancer, psoriasis, arthritis and arthrosis and many other intractable diseases with the help of Danilov Lake water, although the healing properties of water have not been fully studied. A lot of important advantage of water is that it prevents the development of diseases in the body and is a good prophylactic. On the shore of the lake there is a deposit of green-bluish clay, which is used for medicinal and cosmetic purposes. Vacationers take clay and water from the lake in canisters, flasks and other containers.

There is a recreation area next to the lake. Along the entire southern sandy coast there are tents, and simply campsites for vacationers. It is crowded here: among the able-bodied population there are many children and pensioners. Tourists come to the lake from the Omsk, Novosibirsk regions, as well as other regions of Siberia. You can also meet foreigners here. In dry hot weather, the lake is surrounded by up to 200 cars. Entrance to the territory of the recreation area is paid, the collected funds are used for cleaning the territory and maintaining order ... Residents of the Malokrasnoyarsk village council have the right to free entry to the coast. Tourists are offered water activities (rental of catamarans, scuba gear, boats, etc.), there are a volleyball court, kiosks, and baths on the shore. You can also buy barbecue here.

On the day of Epiphany, i.e. On January 19, which has long been considered the patronal “congress” holiday, residents of Little Krasnoyarsk prepare several fonts on the lake. Every year, the priest of the Kyshtov Church blesses the water in the fonts, plunges himself, and after him the residents of the Kyshtov region, Omsk, who arrived. It is believed that the number of pilgrims exceeds 200 people, incl. "walruses" of them - more than half.

For a long time, there was an opinion among local residents that Danilovskaya water has high concentration silver, respectively, the second name of the lake was "Silver". And only in the last decade a complete analysis of water has been carried out.

In August 2003, an ecological expedition was held to study the water bodies of the Muromtsevsky region (the Tara River, small rivers, lakes, including Lake Danilovo), organized by the Omsk regional branches of the Russian Geographical and Russian Geological Societies, as well as the Federal State Institution "Territorial Fund of Geological Information on natural resources and environmental protection of the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia for the Omsk Region”. The expedition was led by the director of the Federal State Institution "TFGI for the Omsk Region", the scientific secretary of the Regional Directorate of the Russian Geographical Society and RosGeo I. A. Vyatkin and the Deputy Chairman of the Regional Directorate of RosGeo, Honored Ecologist of the Russian Federation F. I. Novikov. During the expedition, hydrological, ecological and geobotanical studies were carried out.

The collected water samples were examined in the laboratory of the Omsk State Technical University. It was revealed that silver is contained in water in rather small amounts and does not exceed the usual norms. But on the other hand, a huge amount of free oxygen was discovered: the water in the lake is constantly changing due to the many underground sources and brings oxygen, this explains the healing properties of Danilov. Free oxygen improves metabolic processes in the body and activates its defense mechanisms.

In October 2008, an expedition organized by teachers from the Siberian State University of Physical Culture and Sports took place. The leader of the expedition is Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, CMAS diving instructor, Vice-Rector of SibGUFK V. A. Aikin. The expedition studied the relief of the lake bottom and found that the lake has the shape of a funnel, reaching a maximum depth of 16.2 meters in the center of the lake. The bottom of the lake is flat and silty, the thermocline boundary was found at a depth of 6 meters. During the research, no abrupt changes in the bottom topography were revealed and no large foreign objects were found that could be meteorites. At the same time, a displacement of the deep part from the middle of the lake to the high shore with two ridges was established, which could have occurred from the fall of a meteorite at an angle to the earth's surface.

The results of laboratory analyzes of the lake water showed higher alkalinity and lower metal content compared to standard drinking water. It is hypothesized that the high oxygen content in the water is caused by a large number of springs. It has also been suggested that the healing properties of the lake water are due to the unique combination of certain metals.

According to laboratory studies, samples of Danilovskaya water are active in their effect on human cells: they increase viability, a greater number of dividing cells are observed and, which is very important, a high synthesis of cellular protein is always recorded. The studied lake water has a bioenergetic activity that exceeds tap water by 24 - 45%.

The ecological state of Lake Danilovo for summer seasons 2010-2011 markedly worsened. This is due to the construction of two more small recreation centers on the coast. The device of one of the recreation centers was not without deforestation on the very shore. Every year it becomes more and more difficult to catch a small number of fish in the lake: pike, perch, chebak, bream. Ratan appeared in 2011.

Because of a large number vacationers significantly suffers from coastal vegetation: glades are trampled, bushes of mountain ash, bird cherry are broken off, bonfires are observed all around, traces of picnics are the work of vacationers.

Currently, local authorities have decided not to allow the river flood to the lake, but despite this, not only the water level is decreasing, but also its quality - a swampy taste of water has appeared.

Despite all these shortcomings, Lake Danilovo is still a mysterious mystery, a unique natural phenomenon and great place rest and health recovery.

During the summer period, the following experiment was carried out together with students: identical water samples were taken from the thickness of the reservoirs of lakes Danilovo and Mishukhinskoye, the local river Tara, which flows 1 km from the lakes and from a home well, respectively, 14 km. Samples were placed in identical vessels with lids. A swampy, stagnant smell after 2 weeks appeared in the water of Lake Mishukhinskoye, after a month - in river water, after 2 months it is slightly noticeable in domestic drinking water. The water from Lake Danilov has not lost its properties. As far as possible, it is planned to compare the properties of water from the "inhabited" lakes - Lenevo, Urmannoye and Danilovo.

It is necessary to create a sanatorium-resort zone on the shores of Lake Danilovo, which should lead to an economic, more complete, rational use of natural wealth for the health of people, including a large number of sick children.

At present, given the uniqueness of the lake, it is necessary to take the Danilov recreation area under strict control by state bodies for the protection of nature and sanitary control, conduct explanatory conversations with the population to maintain order on the lake, and apply administrative measures to malicious violators.

To achieve this goal, it is necessary to additionally fill with crushed stone about 50-60 km of the Kyshtovka - Malokrasnoyarka highway. The costs invested in this project will quickly pay off, as people, having visited these wonderful life-giving places under improved conditions, will come here again, and others will follow them in the hope of resting and improving their health.

During the summer period, up to 500 people visit this lake in hot weather every day, huddling in tents, cars or near fires. Despite the living conditions, vacationers tend to come here even off-road for the weekend and even for the vacation period. This lake, like a magnet, attracts visitors, surprising with its beauty and healing. This lake is experiencing an excessive anthropogenic load, for the sake of the future it must be unloaded and reduced. The construction of a sanatorium in this area will enable all those in need to improve their health "just around the corner"...

Danilovo Lake is located on the territory of the Kyshtovsky District of the Novosibirsk Region, on the very border with the Muromtsevsky District of the Omsk Region, but is more popular with residents of the Omsk Region than the Novosibirsk Region.

Danilovo Lake is included in the group of so-called "Five Lakes", which also includes, according to various sources, Lenevo Lake, Shaitan Lake, Shchuchye or Urmannoye Lake and the most mysterious semi-mythical Hidden Lake.

The diameter of the lake is about a kilometer. It is the largest of the Five Lakes. The depth of the lake is 17 meters, which is 10 meters more than that of the nearby Tara River, the transparency of the water is 5 meters. The depth of the lake is much greater than other lakes in the region. The shores are gently sloping, near the water they are overgrown with cattail and reeds, and above - with pine, birch and aspen. Around Danilov Lake there are two shafts, one and a half meters high and with a distance between the crests of ten meters.

There are legends among the people that the lake was formed at the site of a meteorite fall, hence its amazing property - pure water with a high content of silver. There is another version, more like a fairy tale, that an unidentified flying object fell here, and an alloy of an unknown space metal enriched the water with life-giving components for terrestrial organisms.

The lake was discovered around the 1950s, and since then its fame has steadily gained momentum. The reputation of a healing lake is firmly entrenched behind the lake, and even overgrown with various legends.

The place is truly amazing. The lake is unlike any other body of water in the Omsk and Novosibirsk regions, and rather it resembles a mountain lake: practically not overgrown with aquatic vegetation, very deep, with clean, clear water.

It is believed that this water successfully treats diseases of the gastrointestinal tract and various skin diseases. The water of Danilov Lake really has a healing effect, but not at all the one that the people attributed to it. The lake was visited by a research expedition of Omsk geologists who comprehensively studied Danilovo Lake. The taken water samples were examined in the laboratory of the Technical University. The set and amount of metals in the water turned out to be quite earthly and ordinary, even the silver content does not exceed the usual norms. In the water of the lake, it is contained in negligible quantities. But on the other hand, a huge amount of free oxygen was discovered: the water in the lake is constantly changing due to the many underground sources rich in oxygen. According to scientists, this explains the healing properties of the waters of the lake. Free oxygen improves metabolic processes in the body and activates its defense mechanisms.

Another result of the study is the clue to the origin of the lake. Regrettably, but beautiful legend about a meteorite or a UFO, it seems, will have to part: the theory of extraterrestrial origin has not received scientific confirmation. Scientists analyzed a two-meter section of the soil of the ramparts on the shore of the lake and compared its composition with the composition of the soil on the shore of Tara. They turned out to be identical. This led scientists to the version that the lake most likely owes its origin to the work of underground water. It washes out soft sedimentary rocks, forming voids and dips. On the site of one of these failures, Danilovo Lake was formed.

In the summer, many vacationers come to Danilovo, and the results of human activity are already beginning to affect the purity of the lake. Local fishermen also caused no small damage to the lake, digging a trench during the spring flood from the river to the lake. They hoped that fish would enter Danilovo, but instead they only let dirty river water into the lake. And although the lake is still coping with the negative impact, scientists believe that it should be treated more carefully. In theory, the lake should be given the status of a natural monument with limited use. It's worth it: in addition to the unique natural properties of water, plants listed in the Red Book grow on Danilovo - the most beautiful egg-pods and water lilies.
