Geocache Description:


Song-Köl lake

The Karakul lake lies on 3000 m in the province Naryn in Kyrgyzstan.

He extends above a surface from 270km2.

Last of the summer the shepherds with your stoves live in Jurten near the lake.

Snow cover in the lake basin persists for 180 to 200 days a year. In winter the lake surface freezes, the ice becoming as much as 1-1.2 m thick.

I have visited him on my motorcycle tour of China and Kyrgyzstan and have spent the night in a Jurte.

 

Song-Köl See

Der Karakul See liegt auf 3000m in der Provinz Naryn in Kirgistan.

Er dehnt sich über eine Fläche von 270km2 aus.

Währen des Sommers wohnen die Schäfer mit Ihren Herden in Jurten in der Nähe des Sees.

Der See ist zwischen 180-200 Tagen im Jahr mit bis 1,2m dickem Eis bedeckt.

Ich habe ihn auf meiner Motorradtour durch China und Kirgistan besucht und in einer Jurte übernachtet.
