Radon Springs in Lopukhinka
Radon Springs in Lopukhinka, Natural monument in Leningrad Oblast, Russia
Two artificial lakes with turquoise waters form near the Lopukhinka River, creating a canyon-like valley reaching depths of 30 meters.
In the 1830s, navigator Bellingshausen and surgeon Pirogov established a water treatment facility for sailors using these mineral-rich springs.
The broadleaf forests surrounding the springs contain rare plant communities including elm, ash, and linden trees specific to Leningrad Oblast.
The natural area spans 158.9 hectares and requires special permits from regional authorities for collecting samples or organizing ecological paths.
The springs contain colorless radon gas from Ordovician limestone and Cambrian-Ordovician sandstone formations along the river valleys.
