Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Lake
Lake Bourabai
Lake Bourabai is bordered by pine forests and rocky reliefs. Confirm accessible areas; a frozen surface is not presumed safe.
Rock formation
Okzhetpes Rock
Okzhetpes rises above the Burabay landscape. Its legends are distinct from geological interpretation; climbing is not an ordinary walk.
Rock formation
Zhumbaktas Rock
Jumbaktas emerges in the lake and changes silhouette according to the point of view. Exits on the water depend on the authorized services and the weather.
Viewpoint
Bolektau Hill
Bolektaou offers a panorama of lakes and pine forests. Check the open path and adapt shoes and progression to the soil.
