Izli

Morocco / Souss Massa-Draa / Tinghir /
 lake, nature conservation park / area

"Izli"(amazigh/ spoken Izzeli) = lonesome, isolated (the french transcription on older maps is "Iséli" and "Iseli")

But in contrast "Isli" ​​in amazigh is the "groom". The legend of the lovers of two warring tribes, who could not come to each other and or who have drowned here (or: their tears had filled the lakes) is unfortunately only a modern fairy tale from a French pen.

The name "the lonesome" opens up at the sight of the lake:
By (still) missing-shore construction and planting, and thus requires limited assessment of its size, a lake with a special "magical" aura. Coloration of the water surface to sun and weather conditions between turquoise and black and blue with a red clay bank with stronger wind in wind direction. Otherwise clear. It is the home of a fish occurring only here.
