Vääräjärvi, Protected lake in Vsevolozhsky District, Russia
Vääräjärvi is a freshwater lake in Vsevolozhsky District east of Saint Petersburg. The lake sits within forested terrain characteristic of the Karelian Isthmus and benefits from protected status to safeguard its natural environment.
The lake and surrounding region shifted between Swedish and Russian control until the 1721 Treaty of Nystad established permanent Russian rule. After this agreement, the territory remained consistently under Russian administration.
The Vsevolozhsky District contains 52 federal monuments and 131 local cultural sites, reflecting centuries of regional development and historical events.
The site is easily accessible from Saint Petersburg and suits nature observation and birdwatching activities. Visitors should know that protected status may limit access to certain areas around the lake.
During World War II, the area immediately surrounding the lake became part of a critical supply corridor for besieged Leningrad. This strategic importance helped protect the region from major destruction.
