Lake Marguzor, Tajikistan
Marquzor lakes also known as “seven beauties of Shing” located in Hissar range of Fann Mountains about 50km from Penjikent.
The old legend says that a long time ago an old man got lost in the valley and his seven daughters came to look for him. Nobody respond to their call and the man was never found so the girls sat along the narrow trail and cried. Tears filled the valley up and girls drown.
They died but 7 lakes, beautiful and different like 7 girls, remind us about the case. All of them were really beautiful but the most beautiful was the youngest – Mijgon, and the first lake then you enter the valley at 1640 m got the same name and considered to be the most beautiful among the others.
