Pripyshminskiye Bory National Park, National park in Sverdlovsk Oblast, Russia
Pripyshminskiye Bory National Park is a protected forest area in Sverdlovsk Oblast covering about 49,000 hectares of pine forests, birch woodlands, wetlands, and ponds. The landscape sits on the West Siberian Plain and features diverse forest types alongside open water areas.
The area became a protected reserve in 1993 to safeguard the natural resources of the Pyshma River basin. This decision helped preserve the forests and wetlands for future generations.
The visitor center displays how local people have managed the forest sustainably for generations, using natural resources without damaging them. You can see exhibits about the relationship between communities and the surrounding woodland.
The park offers designated camping areas, walking trails, and recreational zones throughout its territory. Plan visits for warmer months when trails are more accessible and wildlife viewing is easier.
Abraham's Island sits within Bakhmetskoye bog and hosts a rare combination of Siberian larch and fir trees surrounded by cedar forests. This unusual plant mix emerged over time as water levels and growing conditions changed.
