The Source of Sviyaga River

The Source of Sviyaga River emerges from a wood-bog area and flows as a pure streamlet into a deep gully filled with moisture-loving vegetation.

In 1989, the Source of Sviyaga River received official protection status as a natural monument, establishing an 8-hectare conservation area in the Ulyanovsk region.

The three distinct sources of the Sviyaga River support local fishing activities and create a network of waterways that connect multiple communities in Tatarstan.

Visitors can observe the river's primary source among tall pine trees at an elevation of 332 meters, where cowberry shrubs and bilberries grow abundantly.

The river system features three separate sources, with the main spring creating a pure water stream that maintains consistent flow through deep geological formations.
