Black forest, which occupies part of the land and of the sign of the Alexandria district of Kirovograd region – a total of 7.4 hectares Is the area between two right tributaries of the Dnieper – Ingulets and Tyasmyn. Special here is the sphagnum bog (the name of sphagnum moss), which is at the bottom of the beam Chornoliske. It is interesting because here grow plants that are not found in the Central regions of Ukraine, as is typical for Polesie, or even the Caucasus. Lake Berestovoi that is spread over an area of about 16 ha, actually more like a swamp. Officially it is a hydrological monument of nature — "Black Swamp forest."
In the lake lives only one fish species – earthen carp, no other animals in it is not found. A unique kind of fish lives only in the Black lake in the Kirovograd region. The water here does not freeze even in winter. And its level is constantly the same.
In ancient times this territory was the steppe, which was inhabited by people. This is evidenced by excavations of burial mounds was found the bronze age (III-II century A. E.), the earthworks and settlements of the Slavic tribes of Chornolis culture. And over time, the steppe has absorbed a dense forest and extensive swamps. The crowns of tall trees entwined in solid tent and will not miss the sun. Lush and dense vegetation made the forest closed to people than you have kept it pristine.
Scientists have found that a hand written map of Boplan, and is part of the large map published in 1650-ies in France. But the most amazing thing is that the card does not match with the original in one small detail. This map shows the tract of the Black forest, and probably marked the lake Berestovoi, which today is one of the most mysterious bodies of water!
The map of Boplan – lake plain is marked with a cross, and below is the same cross (something like footnotes) with the inscription in Polish "the secret world". Why Boplan has made such a mark – Stockholm minds to unravel and could not have asked for the information in Znamenka, where local historians and geographers a long time studying the area of the lake and forest.
As you know, Znamenskaya administration a clear answer to this question still could not. After the lake Berestovoi and the forest in which it is located – is shrouded in so many mysteries that they can get lost.
