What to Expect
Located in Shahbuz District, at an altitude of 2,113 metres above sea level, the surroundings of Lake Batabat are ideal to admire the beautiful nature and enjoy a picnic. Lake Batabat is also famous for its ‘floating island’ – the peat layer formed on the lake moves around from being blown by the wind, creating an unbelievable sight.
The lake, which has an amazing view in all seasons of the year, takes on a special beauty when the wildflowers bloom. Lake Batabat is surrounded by many cool springs, healing herbs and plants. Bichenak village, located near the lake, can be reached by bus from Nakhchivan Bus Station at various times of the day.
You can go from the village to the lake area by taxi or on foot. Even in winter months, it is possible to access the area with any type of vehicle.
