Lake Goygol in Ganja, Azerbaijan
Lake Goygol in Ganja, Azerbaijan
Göygöl is a natural impounded lake in Azerbaijan. It is situated at the footsteps of Murovdag, not far from Ganja.
Nestled in the Lower Caucasus Mountains a short distance from Ganja, Azerbaijan’s second city sits on the almost elusive Lake Goygol. The picturesque lake surrounded by dense forest was only recently opened to the public. Here’s how to take a day trip to one of Azerbaijan’s most beautiful spots.
Lake Goygol rates as Azerbaijan’s most beautiful lake. A 12th-century earthquake created the mountain lake, which sits 1500 metres above sea level and attracts thousands of local tourists each year. The deep blue lake surrounded by lush forests in the Lower Caucasus Mountains stretches for almost 3 kilometres. A variety of wildlife, including several species of birds and fish, call the area home too.
But that’s not the only appeal. Several German settlers once formed villages in the nearby mountains before the Soviets moved them away. A hint of German culture hangs in the air with a Lutheran Church and a few remaining monuments. Given that until recently Lake Goygol was off-limits to tourists, those who get the chance to visit this photogenic spot near Ganja should feel privileged.
Because of Lake Goygol’s altitude, the air temperatures will be a welcome change from Azerbaijan’s summer. The vast majority of tourists visit in either spring or summer. But, each season brings a different feel and ambience. The biggest tip, however, will be to avoid weekends when possible to steer clear of the crowds.

Goygol or Göygöl (Azerbaijani: Göygöl, literally the Blue Lake) is a natural impounded lake in Azerbaijan. It is situated at the footsteps of Murovdag, not far from Ganja city. The magical mountain lakes of Goygol National Park are as iconic to the Ganja region of Azerbaijan as the Maiden’s Tower is to Baku. Lake Goygol has appeared on stamps and in poetry, paintings, and songs. Yet for years the area has been out of bounds to most visitors. As recently as spring 2015, when Visions last tried to visit, an army barrier prevented tourists from getting anywhere near. But in summer 2015, rumors began to surface that parts of the National Park had been unexpectedly thrown open. Social media was rapidly a-twitter with excitement as videos began appearing set to the classic Azerbaijani ballad Göygöle Gel (Come to Goygol). For travel author Mark Elliott, the temptation to see for himself proved too much to resist.

Azerbaijan, Ganja City -To the Caspian Sea ep 27-Travel vlog calatorii tourism video
Ganja is one of the oldest cities in the Caucasus, and has long been one of the most important in Azerbaijan. Having been subjected to a seemingly endless stream of invading armies, its name has changed repeatedly over the years and is very interesting architecturally. The historical name, Ganja, was restored once again upon Azerbaijan's independence in 1991. With a population of over 750,000 it's currently the country's second-largest city.

Goygol district located in the western part of Azerbaijan is one of the most picturesque regions of the country. The State Goygol reserve is located on the banks of the famous Goygol lake. The climate in this area is mostly cold and winters as a rule are always dry. An average annual temperature ranges between 4 – 10 degrees.
The centre of the district formerly was called Elenendorf. It was founded by German colonists in August 22, 1819 at the place of an ancient village Hanlyglar that later formed a base of Hanlar city. Now Goygol district illustrates the friendship between Azerbaijan and German nations. A lot of work was done here to preserve the German heritage.
The district has about 30 historical and architectural monuments of art.
The main attraction of Goygol district is the reserve of the same name founded in 1925, the first in Azerbaijan, by the way. Its total area is 7131 hectares. When the reserve was created the main goal was to preserve and in some areas to restore the mountain forest, mountain-meadow and mountain lake natural complexes. The entire territory of the Goygol reserve is devided by very deep valleys where run beautiful, though not very big but turbulent rivers.
In the reserve you can enjoy wonderful lakes (about ten in there: Maralgol, Garagol, Zeligel, Aggol, Shamilgol etc.) the most famous of which is formed by an earthquake in 1139 the Goygol lake.
In addition to a huge number of different plants in the reserve there are protected rare and endangered species. Among the inhabitants of these forests the following animals are especially protected: deer, spotted deer, wild goat, bear, hares, boars, Caucasian deer and many other unique animals.
Beautiful and diverse nature, rich flora and fauna of the Goygol national park create the necessary preconditions for the development of ecotourism in this area that will attract tourists and visitors.
