Among the deserted Trans-Volga steppe - a huge bowl of Lake Elton with water of a golden-pink hue is bordered by a wide strip of snow-white salt crystals sparkling in the sun. It is difficult to find a place that could compare with Elton in beauty and variety of landscapes: shallow lake waters, beaches, salt marshes, picturesque deltas of flowing rivers, gullies, ravines, valleys. You will certainly see the sunset on the lake, when Elton is especially picturesque and bright. Deep subtle shades of red, pale pink, yellow and gold with copper tints of colors create the illusion of a dense mirror presence on the lake surface at sunset.
