Orekhovaya Mountain, Protected natural monument in Duderhof Heights, Saint Petersburg, Russia.
The mountain reaches 176 meters above sea level, making it the highest elevation point in Saint Petersburg with its limestone bedrock slopes.
During the Siege of Leningrad from 1941 to 1944, German artillery positions on the neighboring hills led to substantial deforestation in the area.
The mountain received protection status in 1992, covering 66 hectares of land dedicated to preserving the native flora and fauna species.
Visitors can access the mountain through Mozhayskaya railway station, which connects to the Ligovo-Krasnoye Selo-Gatchina railroad line.
The mountain hosts the only known population of Otiorhynchus rugosus weevil in European Russia, making it crucial for species preservation.
