The story of Nohur Lake

Nohur Lake lies near the village of Nohurqışlaq at the foot of the Greater Caucasus. Its still water reflects the green forests and, on clear days, the snowy mountains beyond.

It is a favourite place for families from Baku to picnic, row boats and drink tea with jam by the water.
