The Pink Lake Kobytyz is known for its unique pink color, which is created by a special combination of microorganisms and minerals in the water.

Lake Kobytyz is located a 2-hour drive from Astana. Its name “Kobytyz” translates from Kazakh as “pink lake.” This place is a true natural wonder and surprises with its unique water color.

One of the interesting features of the Pink Lake Kobytyz is its variability. The water color can change depending on the season, weather conditions, and lighting. At certain times, the lake takes on a vibrant pink hue, while at other times, the color may be more pale or violet.

An interesting fact about the Pink Lake Kobytyz is that its color is due to the presence of microorganisms in the water called Dunaliella salina.
