relaxat Lake Batabat
Nakhchivan is a region of breathtaking landscapes, home to quaint villages nestled in peaceful valleys. Driving around the autonomous republic promises endless spectacular views of dramatic mountains. However, one of the most iconic natural sights is hidden in the Shahbuz region at 2,500 metres above sea level where an enchanting floating peat island drifts mysteriously across the picturesque Lake Batabat. The area’s raw beauty, especially when covered in blooming wildflowers, and its accessibility from Nakhchivan City, which is located some 65 kilometres to the north, make it a very popular weekend picnic spot among locals.
