Seliger, Protected lake system in Tver Oblast, Russia.
Lake Seliger spans 212 square kilometers with 160 islands, connecting multiple water bodies through narrow channels across the Valdai Hills region.
The lake formation dates back to the glacial period, creating a complex water system that later became a vital route for trade between northern and central Russia.
The Nilo-Stolobensky Monastery on Stolobny Island represents a significant religious center that has influenced the spiritual development of the Tver region since 1594.
The lake offers numerous fishing spots with 30 different fish species, while the surrounding pine forests contain abundant mushrooms and berries for gathering.
Lake Seliger features specialized boats called seligerka, designed with high sides and raised ends specifically for navigating the water system's challenging conditions.
