Orlovskoye Polesye, National park in Oryol Oblast, Russia
The national park spans 77,745 hectares across the southern part of Oryol-Kaluga forests, featuring mixed woodlands, hills, rivers, and diverse ecosystems.
The Russian government established Orlovskoye Polesye National Park on January 9, 1994, to protect the natural heritage of the southern Russian taiga region.
The park territory connects with Ivan Turgenev's literary works, as characters from his 'Hunter's Notes' lived in the surrounding villages and forests.
Visitors can choose between vehicle tours, hiking trails, and military memorial complex excursions, with group tours costing 1000 rubles per excursion.
The park houses 401 European bisons, making it a critical conservation site for this species listed in the World Red Book.
