>Kaban Lake, Kaban Lakes - Wikipedia The second day, we rented a boat with paddles and local food and wine. We sailed around the lake, eating and drinking.
Also, there is the legend of the treasure in this lake:
>When the forces of the Ivan the Terrible approached the city, the khan's treasury was secretly hidden at night at the bottom of the lake, in its northern part. As legend says, the treasury consisted of three parts: the first - gold and silver ingots, bars of precious metals, the second - gold and silver coins (Turkish, Arabic, Persian, Russian, European), the third - the treasury (rings, earrings, jewelry, cups, jugs, weapons). The total weight of the khan's treasury was measured in more than one ton. According to one version, the treasure was taken out before the siege of the city. Only a few khan's cronies knew about the place where they were hidden, some of them died, the rest fled from Kazan. And the treasury remained at the bottom. To find it, it is necessary to stand at the stream near the source of Bulak, measure a distance of one or two archery shots, find a secret landmark on the bank and the same landmark on the opposite bank, and here, at a distance of bound reins, are the treasures.
