Lake Arshitsa, Osmoloda
Osmoloda, Ivano-Frankivsk region, Ukraine
Lake Arshytsia is the highest lake on the ridge (1300 m) and was recently discovered in April 2009 by a tourist from the Dolyna, Viktor Verkhovynets, as evidenced by a sign near the lake. It is the second most popular and accessible lake after Rosokhan. However, it is distinguished by its dirt bottom, which may make the water seem dark, but it is actually clean and clear.
It looks a little bigger than Rosokhan, deeper, but also more silted up, although it has relatively clear water.

No fish recorded
- Turns into a bog in summerArshytsia is a pond of roughly 50 by 20 metres fed by springs; in long droughts it gets very shallow and turns almost into a bog. Nobody has ever recorded fish here, and they could hardly survive such conditions. The Arshytsia protected tract lies right next to it, where catching wild animals is forbidden, so behave as in a nature reserve. You can fish on the Limnytsia.
