In the lake cannot exist neither plants nor animals. Only bacteria can live there because they have the ability to carry such a salt concentration.
The product of life of these organisms is special clay, which covers the entire coast. This clay and mud have a number of healing properties curing many diseases.
Place for racing competitions
Baskunchak is one of the unusual places for conducting racing
competitions.
From 1960 to 1963 a high-speed track was built on it.
