Blue Lakes is one of the main attractions of the Tula region. They are located near the village of Konduki and represent a group of flooded quarries with a total area of at least 1 hectare. The water mirror is surrounded by waste heaps (artificial embankments) or the so-called Romantsevsky mountains. The local landscape brings to mind fantastic stories and at the same time resembles images of Altai or Karelian nature. These views are inspiring and provide an unforgettable experience even for sophisticated travelers. In summer, hundreds of vacationers come to the Blue Lakes on vacation, not only from Tula, but also from Moscow and other nearby cities. There is enough space for everyone, because there are not two or three quarries here, but much more.
In the Tula region, the Blue Lakes appeared as a result of human intervention. Their history began in the 60s of the XX century, when brown coal was mined near the village of Konduki. The deposits of a combustible mineral were discovered at a shallow depth. Therefore, it was mined mainly by the open method, through the development of open pits. However, by the 1980s, the value of brown coal had dropped significantly. The low cost could not compensate for its shortcomings. As fuel, it lost to coal. The economic feasibility of mining has been questioned. The mines were closed, and the Tula quarries were flooded. As a result, a whole system of reservoirs of different shapes and depths was formed.
Those who had a chance to see the lakes in Konduki in the 90s say that at that time they did not look so attractive. For decades, rain, snow and wind toiled over the hills. Under their influence, erosion and cracks were formed in the mountains, which gave them a more artistic form.
Blue quarry lakes do not have a specific address. The main landmark during the trip will be the village of Konduki, located in the Uzlovsky district. Despite the remoteness, you can get here not only by private car, but also by public transport.
