Zagatala State Reserve, Nature reserve in northwestern Azerbaijan
The Zagatala State Reserve extends across 238 square kilometers of diverse landscapes, ranging from 650 to 3646 meters above sea level in the Caucasus Mountains.
The territory, established in 1929 with an initial area of 252 square kilometers, underwent several modifications through the years to reach its current dimensions.
