Solodkyi Lyman

Berdyansk

About this place

Since 1972, the name of the natural monument — the Solodkyi Lyman tract — has been officially registered in Ukraine. This is a unique and scenic area covering about 25 ha. It is striking for its variety of vegetation, animal species and the surprisingly fresh lakes scattered among the dense greenery of the steppes and meadows. Whooper swans are often seen here, building their nests. In spring, spawning takes place in the waters of carp, zander, flathead mullet and other Azov fish.

The name of the lyman comes from its freshwater lakes. It is believed that the water in them is so clear and low in salt that it can truly be called sweet. That is why, in summer, this place is crowded with a large number of tourists who come here for a good rest.

Interesting facts:

  • The salt content in the freshwater lakes of the lyman ranges from 4 to 6 g/l.
  • The water in the lyman has a greyish tint. This is because nearby there are medicinal muds enriched with a large amount of sulfates and sodium.
  • Excavations carried out at the lyman site have proved that ancient settlements once stood here, dating back to the 3rd millennium BC.
