Lake Kaban
Озеро Кабан / Кабан күле
A city lake system in the centre, with a newly built landscaped embankment on Lower Kaban Lake overlooking the Kamal Theatre and the Old Tatar Quarter, good for evening walks.
Composed of upper, middle and lower lakes, Lower Kaban Lake lies next to the city centre and the Old Tatar Quarter. Its shoreline was recently redeveloped into a landscaped embankment with walkways, wooden decks and a summer musical fountain, facing the Kamal Theatre, whose shape resembles a Tatar headdress. Legend says the khan's treasure lies sunk at the bottom of the lake. It is ideal for an evening stroll after exploring the Old Tatar Quarter, and it is free to visit.
