Sestroretsk swamp, Protected wetland near Saint Petersburg, Russia
The expansive Sestroretsk Swamp contains numerous plant species and serves as a nesting ground for migratory birds throughout the Leningrad region.
In 1864, the Sestroretsk area, including its wetlands, transferred from the Grand Duchy of Finland back to Russia through a territorial compensation agreement.
The wetland ecosystem of Sestroretsk maintains strong connections to regional environmental education programs and scientific research activities in northwestern Russia.
Visitors access the swamp through a 14-kilometer trail system that connects to the Kurort railway station, offering designated viewing areas for wildlife observation.
The swamp functions as a natural water filtration system and carbon storage facility, contributing to climate regulation across the Saint Petersburg region.
