Lake Heshov (Algaz: Kesh Heshav) is a large, extremely saline lake located in the Algazi Union. Known for its salt-encrusted tufa rock formations, the lake is an important tourist destination, particularly for Algazi visitors. Lake Heshov has historically had a great deal of religious significance for the Algazi; salt from the lake is valued for its apotropaic properties, though collection is highly limited due to the lake's protected status.
