Ugra National Park, National park in Kaluga Oblast, Russia

Ugra National Park, established on 10 February 1997, covers 986,245 square kilometres in the Ugra, Zhizdra, Vyssa and Oka river valleys across six districts of Kaluga Oblast. It is divided into three sections: Ugorsky (64,184 ha), Vorotynsky (3,171 ha) and Zhizdrinsky (31,268 ha). The terrain includes moraine hills, sand dunes up to 10 m high, and elevations from 118 to 257 m.

The area marks the location of the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480, when the Grand Duchy of Moscow confronted the Golden Horde. This encounter was decisive in Russian independence and shaped the region's political course.

The Nikola-Lenivets art park within the reserve combines natural landscapes with large-scale contemporary art installations and architectural objects. Visitors can explore modern artistic expressions set among forests and river valleys.

Visitors can reach the area through the headquarters in Kaluga city, where permits are issued for activities like kayaking, hiking, and wildlife observation. It is advisable to check current access conditions and available routes before arriving.

The park's lakes shelter the Russian desman, a semi-aquatic mole listed as endangered. It is one of the few places in Kaluga Oblast where the animal is recorded, and it feeds on bottom-dwelling invertebrates in still, clean water.
