Cypresses
Cypress Lake (Sukko) has one fairly important attraction. And such are cypresses, which grow right in the middle of the reservoir. It is well known that these trees did not grow in Russia in the past - their homeland is North America. How did 32 cypresses grow in this area, which gave the second name to the Sukko reservoir? According to unofficial data, they were brought here and planted during experiments in the 30s of the last century. And since then they have taken root and have been here for more than 80 years. This happened thanks to the resinous wood. It does not allow decay, and therefore these mighty trees are called "eternal". Their height reaches 50 meters.
Cypress Lake (Sukko) is arranged in such a way that cypress trees can be seen only from certain places and at the right time of the year. To see them, you have to walk not along the beach coast.

In summer, the lake is full-flowing, and in autumn, when it becomes shallow, the roots of cypress trees become visible, and you can approach them and take a walk between the trees.
