Plesheevo Lake National Park

Region: Green Ring of Moscow

Reserve: Plesheevo Ozero National Park

Plescheevo Lake is known as Pearl of Yaroslavl Region. Founded in 1988 the national park with the same name is situated along the lakeside. This is the first national park that has a mission not only to conservate the nature but to save historical memorials. The ancient Russian city Pereslavl - Zalesskiy based by Yuriy Dolgorukiy is one of the significant monuments. Inseparable bond of nature landscapes and architectonic constructions is the unique feature of the park. Peter the Great founded here the Russian navy.

The famous Russian writer Mikhail Prishvin had been living here more than 20 years. The most part of his oevre is dedicated to the local nature. You will visit to a dendrological garden. Also, you have an opportunity to go boating around picturesque Plessheevo Lake.
