Sinegorye (Blue Mountains) makes one forget all the vanity and to plunge into the world of fairy-tales filled with mysterious flavor of folk tales and legends. Ancient silent mountains standing in the way of all-destroying time as if impassable wall. Time has no power here, in the coniferous lake oasis in the middle of the Kazakh steppe. Purple haze over the Sinegorye, quiet splashes of water on the stone beach, the sound of old pine trees – being here for the first time, you will believe that the Lord has blessed the union of stone, water, forest and sky and has stopped the time here… And if there is an echo of lost paradise on the Earth, then this Eden is called Borovoye!
