They say that it has a "damn temper" and in the past no one bathed in it because they were afraid of drowning. Even today it is not recommended to swim deep. Of course, there is absolutely nothing mystical in this, and at present it is easily explained. Since the reservoir is saturated with radon, the water has a relaxing effect on the human body. That is why the superstitious inhabitants believed that the "satanic" lake takes away strength and takes it into its depths.
