Transfer to Marguzor, the famous seven lakes - seven wonderful water mirrors full of mountain riverside drops. Each lake looks different whenever the sun changes its position. Colors may vary from deep blue to indigo-colored ripples. Most of them are too cold for swimming, even in summer. These lakes belong to the Fan Mountains system.
On the western edge of the Fan Mountains, in the valley of the Shing River, there are seven lakes; six of them are dammed, besides the lake Hazorchashma. The lakes are called Marguzor, but each lake has its own name: Nezhigon, Soybean, Gushor, Nofin, Hurdak, Marguzor, Hazorchashma. The difference in level between the upper and lower lake is 692 meters. Easy hike at the lakes.
