History
It was created in 1548 by Crown Hetman
In addition it was also used for fish breeding. The pond, formerly renowned for its fisheries, had silted up by the mid-20th century and was further damaged during the
An old Soviet motor ship, "Yan Amor Tarnovskyi"[2] (former name "The Hero Tantsorov") still operating on the pond. In 1968, the ship appeared in Ternopil named in honor of Gregory Tantsorov - one of the liberators of the city from German occupation. The ship originally was called "Zalishchyky" and was built in 1963 in Belarus. The overhaul of "The Hero Tantsorov" was made in 2006. In 1966 a small motor ship "PT-50" appeared on the pond ("Passenger ship - Fifty Project"), built in 1964. In 2005, the two ships were passed to the ownership of municipal enterprise “Ternopilelektrotrans”.
The pond has significant economic importance in the 21st century, operating four mills that bring profits to the city. There are a lot of fish in the lake such as pike, perch, carp, and others. There are also a lot of algae and the yellow water lily that blooms in late June. To the west of the pond near the village Pronyatyn, various types of willows are existent. Also, wild ducks and gulls swim and breed in Ternopil pond.
