Bayanaul National Park (; (ロシア語:Баянаульский национальный парк)) is a national park of Kazakhstan, located in southeastern Pavlodar Province, 140 kilometers from the industrially developed city of Ekibastuz, on the outskirts of the Central Kazakh Uplands. It is included on the list of protected areas of Kazakhstan. The park was founded in 1985, making it Kazakhstan's first national park. It was created to preserve and restore the natural flora and fauna found in the Bayanaul mountain range. The park's total area is 68,453 hectares. In the summer of 1993, the first All-Republic Camp (National Jamboree) of the Organization of the Scout Movement of Kazakhstan, named "Jasybay's Arrow", was held at the national camp, Jasybay, named for a Kazakh mythic hero, near Bayanaul National Park. ==Geography== The park is located within the Kazakh Uplands. The mountains took shape during the Paleozoic Era and subsequently endured a long history of continental destruction, causing their relatively low current height (from 400 to 1027 meters above sea level). The highest point of Bayanaul is Akbet mountain (1027 m). According to legend, the mountain is named in honor of Akbet, a girl who threw herself from its peak when she was given to marry someone she didn't love. There are four relatively large fresh water lakes on the territory of the park- Sabyndykol, Jasybay, Toraygir and Byrzhankol. Aside from these, there are many smaller lakes, some of which become significantly more shallow during dry season. The largest lake is Sabyndykol (, literally- "soapy lake"), with the village of Bayanaul on its shore. The lake is named for its special, soft water, which feels almost soapy to the touch. According to legend, the beautiful Bayan dropped her soap in this lake while she was washing her hair. The clearest and second largest lake is Jasybay, located in a hollow between two mountain ridges. Jasybay is a favorite place among tourists for swimming thanks to its clean water and the beautiful view from its beach. According to legend, the lake was named in honor of the Kazakh mythic hero Jasybay, who was killed on its shore in a battle with invaders. Toraygir is the third in size, and the highest above sea level. Its water is not as clear as Jasybay, and therefore it is less popular for swimming. However, many fish can be found in this lake, carp in particular, which makes it an enticing place for fishermen. This lake was named in honor of the Kazakh poet Sultanmahmut Toraygirov, who spent his childhood in this region. There is a museum dedicated to the poet in the village of Toraygir, which is not far from the lake and also named in his honor. Byrzhankol is the smallest lake of the four, with a diameter of about 800 meters. On its shore is a village of the same name with 56 residents. This lake also presents an interest for fishermen, as different varieties of carp can be found in its waters. It gets its name from the Kazakh words Byr "one", zhan "soul" and kol "lake," which in translation means "lake of one soul." 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bayanaul National Park」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
