Duderhof Heights, Protected natural area in Saint Petersburg, Russia

Duderhof Heights encompasses several hills within Saint Petersburg's Krasnoselsky District, featuring Orekhovaya Hill at 176 meters and Voronya Hill at 147 meters elevation.

The landscape underwent modifications in the early 19th century with the creation of a garden on Orekhovaya Hill, followed by significant changes during the 1941-1944 Siege of Leningrad.

The heights form an integral component of the Historic Centre of Saint Petersburg and Related Groups of Monuments, recognized under UNESCO World Heritage designation.

Visitors can reach the heights via the Mozhayskaya railway station, with trails available for hiking and skiing activities throughout different seasons.

The area contains broadleaf forests uncommon in the taiga region, supporting rare species including the Otiorhynchus rugosus Humm weevil found exclusively in this location.
