Snetogorsko-Murovitskiy Protected Area

The Snetogorsko-Murovitskiy Protected Area is a nature reserve in Pskov Oblast featuring lakes, valleys, and varied habitats spread across the western part of the region. The site is accessible through marked trails and displays typical features of the northwestern landscape.

The area received official protection status in 1976 as part of Russia's broader effort to preserve significant natural territories. This designation reflected the growing recognition of the region's ecological importance during that period.

The protected area brings together nature conservation and scientific study, providing space to observe regional plants and animals in their natural surroundings.

The protected area can be visited year-round, with the most favorable conditions during warmer months. Visitors should wear sturdy footwear, bring water, and stick to marked routes to help protect the environment.

The reserve provides refuge for several endangered animal species and protects habitats that have become rare in the region. This conservation role makes it a critical location for maintaining local animal and plant diversity.
