The White River
The fountain is called in different ways: Elanlinsky, Laklinsky (it is located 4.5 km from the village of Lakly) or Aysky.
This fountain appeared thanks to the ingenuity of the now deceased resident of the village of Leuzi, Kiginsky district, Vladimir Ivanovich Polyakov. According to Lyubov Fedorovna Kozlova, a teacher of the Leuzinsky school of the Kiginsky district: "In 1981, the Satka mining Department was searching for bauxite.
A well was drilled on the bank of the Ai River, not far from Elanlino and from Laklov, also 81 meters deep. The fossil was not found, but they got into the bed of artesian water, which, under the pressure of 200 meters of light gray limestone mountain ranges, filled with a fountain. The column was no more than 50 cm. In 2001, a tourist rally of the disabled of the Kiginsky district took place nearby. The geography teacher, then the director of the Leuzinsky school, Vladimir Ivanovich Polyakov, was in the judging. And he came up with the idea to put a cork in the pipe. And the fountain began to beat. In the early years, it soared to a height of 8 to 10 meters. Now the height of the fountain reaches 5.5 meters. But still - the beauty is indescribable! Especially in winter.
The fountain is named after Polyakov. Teachers of Leuzinskaya secondary school in 2011 replaced the oak cork, which was driven in by Poles. Every year, our schoolchildren go to admire the bizarre patterns created by the fountain in the winter in the most severe frosts."
The gushing spring, of course, is the decoration of this amazing corner of nature. It is magnificent at any time of the year: during the summer heat, the fountain gives life-giving coolness, quenches thirst (Artesian water is crystal clear, laboratory tests of the samples taken did not reveal any harmful impurities. The temperature of the outgoing jet from the Aysky fountain is +7 degrees Celsius), and in winter builds bizarre azure sculptures out of ice. Therefore, it is not surprising that the spring has become a kind of pilgrimage place for people who want to admire the art of natural sculptors: water, cold and wind.
In winter, an ice block forms around the fountain, which takes on a different shape every year, similar to either a beautiful flower, or a seashell, or a fan, or something else amazing. In 2018, it looked like a royal throne to many. But during the winter, under the influence of cold and wind, the shape of the ice sculpture will still change, delighting and surprising visitors of this amazing place with its metamorphoses.Bulleted list
