Большая Ендова, Protected steppe in Mokshansk District, Penza Region, Russia.
The Bolshaya Endova consists of a large natural basin stretching one kilometer in diameter with slopes reaching twenty meters in height.
Biologist I. I. Sprygin conducted the first botanical studies of this area in 1898, leading to its recognition as a natural monument.
The name Endova refers to an ancient vessel used for serving drinks, reflecting the bowl-like shape of this natural formation.
The protected area spans fifty hectares and contains multiple rare plant species, including Austrian milk-vetch and Spanish salsify.
The steep slopes of Bolshaya Endova feature waist-high grass formations and dense thickets of grey eurotia, creating distinct vegetation patterns.
