There are tens of millions of lakes in the world with different styles, some of which stand out, with fascinating ripples, crystal-like transparency, allowing people to enter the dream world of water. Lakes are considered one of the most relaxing and romantic places in the world, and their clarity brings peace. Walking around the lake is one of the best ways to relax. This article will introduce the most beautiful lakes in the world.
1. Peyto Lake, Canada
Peyto Lake is a glacial lake in Banff National Park in the Canadian Rockies with an elevation of 1880 meters. It takes its name from Ebenezer William Peyto, an early guide and ranger in the Banff area. Every summer, a large amount of glacial rock dust flows into the lake, and the particles of these rocks give the lake a bright turquoise blue color. It is like a jasper belt worn on the Rocky Mountains, the turquoise blue is dripping, adding a lot of beauty to the Rocky Mountains. Because of the long and narrow shape of the lake, it is surrounded by steep cliffs and dense forests. There is almost no way to get close to the lake, so you can only have a bird's-eye view from the mountain from afar. The shape of Peyto Lake is like a maple leaf, and the tranquil and green lake has a panoramic view. The cliffs and forests on both sides of the lake leave beautiful reflections in the clear lake water.
2. Lago de Atitlán, Guatemala
Lago de Atitlán is a large lagoon in the Guatemalan highlands, and its beauty has made it one of the most beautiful lakes in the world. In 1955, Guatemalan officials wanted to find a way to promote tourism and boost the local economy, and the area around Lago de Atitlán became a national park. The Mayan villages and towns around Lago de Atitlán are a major feature, and the inhabitants of the villages and towns continue to carry on the traditional Mayan dress and customs. The largest town on the lakeshore, Panahaşa, has been crowded with tourists for many years, and in the 1960s, it attracted a large number of hippies, although foreigners slowly left. Tourism in Guatemala, which resumed in 1996, is booming again. Today, the economy of the town of Panahasa is almost entirely dependent on tourism.
3. Lago di Garda, Italy
Lago di Garda is the largest inland lake in Italy and the easternmost lake in the Italian territory. It spans three regions: north into Trentino, west and south with Lombardy, and south and east with Veneto. The mild climate here brings the right lake temperature, allowing people to take a dip in the lake from May to September. With sunny beaches and well-equipped harbours, palm trees and oleanders, Lago di Garda is like a sea inlaid between the Po plain and the Alps. In addition to the natural and scenic charm, the banks of the river are filled with old towns, castles and characteristic towns full of interesting museums and attractions. In addition, tourists who like various sports must also love it here. Lago di Garda has the wind for sailing, the mountains for riding a tricycle or climbing with ice axes, and the roads for long journeys or horse racing. And of course, there are plateaus with gliders, cliffs with free climbing and mountain streams for rafting, and golf courses.
4. Crater lake, USA
In the karst mountains of southwestern Oregon, USA, there is a wonder of the civilized world - Crater Lake. Crater Lake and its surrounding landscape form the famous Crater Lake National Park in the United States. The picturesque scenery in the park is like a fairyland on earth, and these scenes are all formed by volcanic eruptions. It is the volcano that creates such a miracle. Crater Lake has a unique shape. From a distance, it is a conical mountain, surrounded by high and precipitous peaks. The lake area is often accompanied by numerous hot springs. The shape of the lake is like a circle or a horseshoe, its area is small, the lake shore is steep, and the lake water is blue and unfathomable.
5. Lake Lucerne, Switzerland
Lake Lucerne is the fifth largest lake in Switzerland. Surrounded by beautiful mountains, it is well-deserved as the most diverse lake in Switzerland, and the surrounding mountains form a typical "lake and mountain" scenery, attracting a large number of tourists. Because there are often many swans inhabiting Lake Lucerne, Lake Lucerne is also called Swan Lake. Audrey Hepburn was married here. The dazzling, crystal-clear waters of the lake, with its poetic and pictorial imagery, have captivated artists, making it the most famous holiday destination in Switzerland and the most popular lakeside resort in Europe. Music critic Rael Stubb once described the hazy atmosphere of the first movement of Beethoven's "Piano Sonata No. 14" as the moonlight on Lake Lucerne. The piece thus received the title "Moonlight" - although this was not what Beethoven intended.
