Krasnyy ozero (English; Red Lake) is located in the North Forest, 5 kilometers north from Temnyy gorod. The lake got its name due to the red color of the lake. The color of the lake is due to the iron rich mountain and algey growing in the lake. The color of the lake varies during the year, mostly the color variation is due to the amount of rain water that is channeled from the mountain, bringing iron rich water to the lake following the lake more deep red. During summer time the red algae apears and colours the lake more blood red. There are no health hassards swimming in the lake but the health department strongly suggest not swimming during the algebloom.
