No one answered their call, and the man was never found, so the girls sat on the narrow path and cried. Tears filled the valley and the girls drowned. They died, but 7 lakes, 7 beautiful and different, like 7 girls, remind us of the legends of this area. All of them were really beautiful, but the most beautiful was the youngest – Mizhgon, the first lake in which we will see falling into the valley at an altitude of 1640 m.
