When I read the information about Lake Iskanderkul in the guidebook, I knew immediately that I had to see it. Alexander the Great Lake is located in the Gisarski Mountains at an altitude of 2195 meters above sea level and is simply phenomenal. On the spot, I only had enough time to walk along the shore and take a few photos, but the journey itself and crossing the mountain pass at an altitude of 3000 meters was a great experience.
