Loch Ness lake

The greatest affluent to the lake is the Oich River, flowing out of the southern Loch Oich reservoir. It feeds the Loch Ness lake in the Fort Augustus port. The only river flowing out of the lake is called Ness. Thanks to its strategic position, the Loch Ness lake has become, together with the adjacent lakes and rivers, part of the Caledonian Canal, constructed in as early as 1822. Later it became an important traffic artery between the Atlantic Ocean and the North Sea. .

Why should we go and see the Loch Ness lake?

Within the lake proximity there is beautiful, almost untouched nature. The uncertain weather only enhances the mysterious spirit that the Loch Ness lake is known for. And when the sun shines through the thick fog and heavy clouds, and when the limpid water, whose temperature is only 1°C above zero, reflects the surrounding hills, it is the place to be in Scotland.

The Nessie Legend

the greatest attraction is probably the mysterious Loch Ness Monster, which supposedly lives in the Loch Ness lake. The first mention of the monster dates all the way back to AD 565. It is said that it looks like an ancient dragon with a long neck and two humps on its back. Since the 1950s, a considerable number of experts and adventurers have been setting off to the Loch Ness lake and have been trying to find traces of the Loch Ness Monster. No documentation or testimony has made it clear though whether the creature inhabits the lake depths or not. Therefore, if you want to know the truth about this mystery, set off to the Loch Ness lake. If you do not succeed, don´t worry, the beautiful but harsh Scottish nature will comfort you.
