Кайская роща, Natural monument in Glazkovo district of Irkutsk, Russia.
The forest sanctuary extends across Kai Mountain between three rivers: Angara, Irkut, and Kaya, containing centuries-old pine trees within Irkutsk's urban landscape.
Archaeological discoveries at Glazkovsky necropolis within Kaiskaya Grove revealed human settlements and burial sites dating back more than 30,000 years.
The grove functions as an educational center where local schools conduct nature studies and scientists research Siberian taiga ecosystems.
Visitors can access marked walking paths throughout the protected area, with designated picnic spots available during daylight hours from spring through autumn.
The preservation effort established in 2006 protects the last remaining ancient forest within Irkutsk city limits, featuring native Siberian tree species.
