A cascade of five lakes in a pine forest northwest of Slavuta, near the village of Stryhany, was formed on the site of exhausted peat quarries.

There are pike, carp, crucian carp, crucian carp, tench, perch, and rare blue crayfish. There are wild ducks and swans.

During the Soviet times, on the shore of one of the Blue lakes, the Khmelnytsk NPP, located nearby, began to build the buildings of a pioneer camp and a recreation center, which remained unfinished.
