Yegindybulak

Yegindybulak takes its name from a spring rising on the slopes of Balkantau, in the central Kazakh uplands. The hills stand northeast of Karkaraly amid open steppe, with springs and lakes in their valleys. Pine and birch grow on the mountains, and wild sheep, wolves and foxes inhabit the surrounding country. The spring gives this place its identity in a landscape of grassland and scattered wooded heights.
