But the greatest magic is given to this place by the GRAY WIZARD, which is surrounded by tales and legends reflected in the clouds. In the past, Burtnieks was at least four times larger than it is now and very deep. Unfortunately, the lake continues to grow and gets shallower and shallower. The ancient Libyans who lived here called Burtnieka Astigjervi (in translation it means – vessel or Estonian lake) or Asteru.

The legend says that in times when lakes flew through the air, looking for a place for themselves, where Burtnieku lake, used to be a church. A black cloud has passed over it. Everyone has understood that it is a lake. They told the magician to enchant the lake away It said: "I dont care." The cloud came to earth because the name of the lake was Burtnieks.
