Galichya Gora, Nature reserve in Lipetsk Oblast, Russia
The Galichya Gora Reserve spans across 234 hectares, featuring limestone outcrops along the banks of the Don River and its tributaries in six separate locations.
The reserve was established on April 25, 1925, to protect rare plant species from limestone quarrying activities that threatened the natural ecosystem.
The reserve serves as a research center for Voronezh State University, conducting studies on flora, fauna, and ecological systems of the Central Russian Upland.
The reserve maintains a breeding facility for birds of prey and provides guided educational tours through its diverse botanical collections and natural formations.
The reserve contains over 700 plant species, including alpine plants typically found in the Caucasus and Alps, growing unusually on limestone cliffs at low altitudes.
