Teligol

Teligol is the long estuary of the Tyligul River on the northwestern shore of the Black Sea. A sandbar separates its shallow waters from the sea, while the river valley reaches inland through the steppe. The name is commonly traced to the Turkish Deli Göl, or wild lake. In the late seventeenth century the estuary and its approaches lay on the routes used by Cossack and Tatar forces moving through the country west of Ochakiv.
