Characteristics of the Zabirya lakes

The water in the reservoirs is very clean, fresh, and ideal for swimming. There is a pine forest around, clean fresh air. The depth of the lake is generally 2-2.5 meters. The total area of the water surface reaches 50 hectares. The lake is inhabited by roach, cupid, crucian carp, pike, silver carp, catfish, carp and pike perch. The shore is relatively flat, mostly sandy. There are many convenient accesses to the water. In summer, even in extreme heat, the reservoir is practically not overgrown with algae.

Interesting facts

During the season, unlike the capital's beaches, the Zabirya lakes are almost always uncrowded, which makes the location especially attractive. In addition, the perfectly clean water, the level of which is maintained by underground springs, is worthy of attention. Given the proximity to Kyiv, the lake can be reached by almost any means of transport, including a bicycle, and it will take no more than 1 hour to get there. The location's popularity is growing every year.

Infrastructure & Activities

The highlight of the lake is Fish Park, where visitors are greeted by an interesting stand at the entrance. It informs about safe routes for hiking and cycling. There are many places and bridges equipped for fishing. It is worth noting that the lakes are home to fish (a lot of pike), which attracts more and more fishermen every day. It should be noted that you will have to pay for the catch (the cost of pleasure depends on the trophies).

If you want, you can always find completely deserted places where many tourists pitch their tents. There are sports grounds in various locations, including those for volleyball, tennis, darts, and football. You can rent a jet ski, boat, or catamaran at the rental shops. A special feature of the complex is its own farm, which is definitely worth visiting and, if you wish, riding horses. For younger guests, there is an equipped playground on the territory of the lake complex.

You can grab a bite to eat at the local restaurant “Fish Chok”, which offers excellent author's dishes, children's and adult menus for every taste. In addition, just a few minutes' drive from the lakes, in the village of Boyarka, on Magistralnaya Street 1, there is an unusual cafe “Svoi”, which always serves delicious pastries, soft drinks and ice cream. By the way, there are other equally interesting establishments within walking distance, including the Coffee coffee shop, Kaif restaurant and Equator.

If you are not satisfied with a tent and sleeping in the open air, you should pay attention to various hotel complexes located within a 5-minute drive from Zabirya. In particular, in Boyarka, you can stay at the Lux mini-hotel and the Boyarsky Dvir hotel and restaurant complex with quite affordable prices. It is relatively inexpensive to spend the night at the Budget hostel. We should also mention the Bobrytsia Dacha country recreation complex. It is located in the village of the same name, on 77 Kozatska Street. The hotel will delight you with modern rooms equipped with household appliances, furniture, and utensils.
