Bolshoye Gorodskoye and Maloye Gorodskoye are the least salty of all the resort's mud-mineral lakes. For better acclimatization, doctors recommend starting your exploration of Sol-Iletsk's healing waters with them. The lakes are separated by a small sandy isthmus but share a common underground source.
Big City Lake
Big City Lake covers an area of 2.5 hectares.
The lake is shallow, up to 2 meters, and freezes to the bottom in winter.
The salt concentration in the water is 23 g/l – slightly higher than in the Black Sea.
It's a good place to relax after swimming in the resort's other lakes, which feel almost freshwater in comparison.
Small City Lake
Contrary to its name, the Small City Lake is larger than the Big Lake, covering an area of 3.2 hectares and reaching a depth of 15 meters in places.
The salt concentration here is higher than in the Big Lake, at 85.5 g/l.
In terms of ionic composition, the lake's water is comparable to that of the Caspian Sea.
The increased bromine content and therapeutic mud promote overall health and prevent lung diseases.
The beaches around the lakes are equipped with sun loungers, restrooms, and showers. Various water activities are available to guests, including catamarans, boats, trampolines, and children's attractions.
We also invite you to visit Lake Tuzluchnoe (the oldest) and Lake Razval (the largest and saltiest of the Sol-Iletsk lakes), as well as the mudflat lakes Dunino and Golodnye Voronki.
