Descrizione
Aggol Lake national park in western-central Azerbaijan, near the town of Agjabadi, comprises a vast lake surrounded by steppe and semi-desert. The lake formed as a result of flooding of the Kura and Araz, Azerbaijan’s two major rivers, and is a haven for birds all year round. Home to over 140 bird species, the park’s global significance is highlighted by its inclusion on the Ramsar List of the Convention on Wetlands of International Importance in 2001. The name Aggol, which means “White Lake” in Azerbaijani, comes from the white plumage of birds found all along the shoreline. Besides birds, there are gazelles, wolves, reed cats, foxes, wild boar, snakes, turtles and various other interesting animals.
Aggol is a little far from main attractions, however about 50km north of nearby Agjabadi town is the small city of Barda, famous as the former capital of the ancient state of Caucasian Albania. Located on the Terter river, Barda today is a much quieter place but you can visit several historical attractions, including the elegant Juma Mosque, 19th-century Imamzadeh religious complex and the ornately tiled Barda Mausoleum built in 1322.
Target species in winter: Pollo sultano, Gobbo rugginoso, Pavoncella codabianca and Piviere dorato. In summer: Anatra marmorizzata, Moretta tabaccata and Albanella pallida. Best time to visit: Late autumn to late spring.
