Beach on Pike Lake
If you miss nature, the forest, mushrooms, berries and clean lake water, then Pike Lake is just the place where you should go for the weekend, or best of all, “for a week before the second…”, as the song says. After all, the road there is not close - from St. Petersburg to Komarov is about 52 km, plus 4 km from the village to the beach.
Address:
Pike Lake
The width of the lake is about 600 meters, length is 1.1 km.
Right next to the beach the bottom is sandy, then it is muddy. But thanks to the depth, which in some places reaches 5 meters, this does not interfere with swimming. In Finnish, Pike Lake sounds very melodic: “Hauki jarvi”.
Its landscape is also picturesque: many centuries ago it was formed by a glacier. Beach on Lake Pike in Komarovo
The water in the lake is so clean that it is of drinking quality.
They say that pike, trout and roach once lived here. People still fish on the lake, but not every fisherman can boast of a good catch. Pike Lake
On the sandy beach you can sunbathe, play and even have a real picnic with barbecue.
It is extraordinarily beautiful here: giant pine trees rush straight into the sky overhead, and under your feet there are clearings with boletuses, chanterelles and blueberries. In general, this is the place that every city dweller dreams of. Well, those who like to travel to historical places should also visit here: just a kilometer from the lake is the famous Komarovsky necropolis.
The poetess Anna Akhmatova was buried in this cemetery in 1966. Here lie the ashes of many famous figures of Russian science and culture: D. S. Likhachev, V. P. Linnik, N. A. Toropov, V. A. Fock, A. A. Grinberg, M. M. Somov, A. F. Treshnikova, A. E. Perevozchikov, T. M. Vecheslova and many others. Local residents nicknamed their native village “Mosquitoes,” and the name of the scientist botanist V.L. Komarov, from which the name of the place came, has nothing to do with it. It's all about real mosquitoes: there are a lot of them here. Take this important fact into account when going on vacation to Pike Lake.
