Tips from the Community

the purple lake owes its color to iron compounds dissolved in the water, as the walls and bottom of the pit in which it is located are rich in copper and iron compounds

The lake is not really purple or violet, but rather orange-brown, but still worth seeing.

The first of the beautiful Colored Lakes from the north. It owes its color to the presence of calcium and sulfur in the water, from former German mines. An interesting cave is also a passage to the next Purple Lake.
