Ugra National Park

The national park spans 986,245 square kilometers across three main sections, featuring diverse ecosystems of forests, rivers, and wetlands along the Ugra River valley.

The park's territory marks the location of the Great Stand on the Ugra River in 1480, when the Grand Duchy of Moscow confronted the Golden Horde.

The Nikola-Lenivets art park within the reserve combines natural landscapes with large-scale contemporary art installations and architectural objects.

Visitors can access the park through its headquarters in Kaluga city, where they receive permits for activities such as kayaking, hiking, and wildlife observation.

The reserve protects populations of Russian desman, an endangered species that inhabits the lakes within the park's boundaries.
