Summer Escapes Near Kyiv: Exploring Lake Retreats Amidst Water Quality Concerns

Kyiv residents are exploring new options for summer beach recreation as the season officially opens. A recent video highlights two popular lake destinations near the capital, offering alternatives to traditional city pools. The first location, Blue Lake in Horenka, Kyiv Oblast, is presented as a free option with visually clean water, popular for swimming and paddleboarding. However, concerns have been raised by local residents regarding a nearby landfill, with some claiming that runoff may affect the lake's water quality, despite its clear appearance. Another option featured is Lake Resort in Berezivka, approximately 30 kilometers from Kyiv. This private complex charges an entrance fee of 300 UAH on weekdays and 600 UAH on weekends. The resort offers a sandy beach, a bar, a swimming pool, sun loungers, and various water activities. Visitors are permitted to bring their own food and towels, though additional services like the pool and water sports incur extra charges. Community comments suggest that the actual entrance fee might be lower than advertised and have raised serious allegations about the resort's water quality, citing a lack of testing and potential sewage discharge from nearby hotels. These claims would require independent verification for public safety and transparency.
