Tübän Kama National Park

Tübän Kama National Park is a protected area spanning the Kama River valley across three climate subzones in northeastern Tatarstan. It contains forests, meadows, and waterways distributed across varied terrain and soil types.

The park was established in 1991 when the Russian government set it up to protect the ecosystems and biodiversity of this region. The choice of this location reflected recognition of its ecological importance.

The territory inspired paintings by Ivan Shishkin, a 19th-century Russian landscape artist who captured the river valleys and meadows found here. His works help visitors see these lands through the eyes of someone deeply moved by their beauty.

Visitors need permits to enter certain areas, and guided walks are available on marked trails. Exploration focuses on the river floodplains near Elabuga and Tanaev, where access is most convenient.

The park contains the southernmost growing range of Siberian fir trees in Russia. These trees grow right alongside steppe landscapes just a short distance from the city of Naberezhnye Chelny.
