Wildlife Tours in Kostanay region.

“Of the other rivers flowing into the Irtysh from the left side, the most remarkable is the Tobol, which flows from the Karaadyr ridge and flows until the Uya River flows into it, that is, to the Russian border to the northeast. At its peaks it either disappears underground, then appears again, but, strengthened by the rivers flowing into it, it flows without interruption. As is known, it flows into the Irtysh near Tobolsk. The Tobol often changes its course and therefore leaves its original channel, parts of which are usually called oxbow lakes. The sand taken out of it contains iron in places. Its name, as Rychkov writes in his “Orenburg Topography,” comes from the shabul tree, or meadowsweet, which grows in abundance along its banks. The water in it near the peaks is very bad and astringent, but as the flow continues it loses this property. There is very good fish in Tobol."
