A famous Belarusian writer Uladzimir Karatkevich referred to the fact that Lepel lake is the place where so-called «tsmoki» (dragons) can be found in. Now it’s the truth, because «Lepel dragon» sometimes rises up to the surface of the lake to admire its own image in the form of the sculpture at the lake Lepel and to scare tourists.
The Tsmok of Lake Lepel is a legendary cryptid purported to inhabit the depths of Lake Lepel, situated in the Vitebsk Region of Belarus. It is described as a serpent-like creature, often associated with ancient Slavic folklore and mythology. The Tsmok, though shrouded in mystery, has captivated the imaginations of locals and enthusiasts alike due to its elusive nature and the intriguing tales surrounding it.
