Maralgöl

Maralgöl is a mountainous lake at an elevation of 1910 m on Mount Murovdag in western Azerbaijan. The lake has an area of 23 ha and the greatest depth is 61 m. Maralgol is connected with the Göygöl lake, via the Aghsu River. The collapse of rocks caused by a severe earthquake in 1139 resulted in the formation of this lake, which impeded the path of the local river. The lake is surrounded by the marshland, typical moorland, mountains and dense forests. Out of the eight nearby alpine lakes, it is regarded as one of the most beautiful and attractive in the country.
