Recreation and barbed wire

Recreation behind barbed wire - recreation areas on the Kapshagai reservoir in Kazakhstan are fenced with barbed wire and metal fences.

The Kapshagai reservoir appeared in 1970 as a result of the construction of a hydroelectric power station on the Ili River in Kazakhstan, the reservoir is 100 km long, 25 km wide and about 40 meters deep. For many years, the Kapchagay Reservoir was considered one of the most beautiful places for recreation in Kazakhstan, and lovers of relaxing on sandy beaches came here not only from Kazakhstan, but also from other CIS countries. Currently, almost the entire coastal area, free from development by sanatoriums and recreation centers, is occupied by tenants who fence their territory, put up a barrier and charge entry fees from those wishing to relax.

It should be noted that many areas are put in order by tenants, are clean and have everything necessary for a normal vacation for visitors, medical care is provided in these areas, and rescuers work. But, unfortunately, in most cases, the rented coastal area is a sad sight. A fence, barbed wire, a barrier - that's all the improvement of the recreation area. The fence and barbed wire Egoza https://concertina.com.ua/en/razor-wire-concertina is designed to protect the coastal territory belonging to tenants from city guests and local residents who want to relax.

The barbed wire did not fence the reservoir everywhere - theoretically, 8 public areas have been defined on the coast of the Kapshagay reservoir without the right to transfer them to private ownership, and visiting public city beaches is free of charge. In practice, finding these areas and getting to the coast is possible only with the skills of orientation on rough terrain and having special equipment, since there are no roads to these areas, and the coast can hardly be called sandy.

Local residents and visitors of the city of Kapchagay are concerned about the current situation on the coast of the Kapchagay reservoir, including the leasing of the entire coast, which has caused inflated tariffs for passage without providing basic conditions for recreation. The coastal zone in most cases is not well-maintained, but it is reliably protected from vacationers by barbed wire https://barbed-wire.kz/en and fences.
