Volchikhinskoye Vodokhranilishche, Protected water reservoir near Yekaterinburg, Russia.
The Volchikhinskoye reservoir stretches 12 kilometers with multiple islands, surrounded by mixed forests of pine and birch trees along its shores.
The reservoir was constructed in 1944 on the Chusovaya River to supply drinking water to the industrial city of Yekaterinburg during rapid regional development.
The reservoir functions as both a hydrological and botanical natural monument, featuring several named islands including Koroviy, Zmeinyi, and Mironov.
Visitors can access the reservoir by personal vehicle or regular train service from Yekaterinburg, with multiple recreation bases and children camps along the shore.
The reservoir contains numerous fish species and includes designated naturist beaches among its sandy shorelines, despite its primary function as a water supply.
