RUSSIA ~ Samara Bend National Park - Samara ~

... A beautiful natural landscape... when the Volga rounded the Zhiguli mountains, an amazing territory was formed... the main natural attraction of the Samara region... the park is culturally important because of its centrality to a range of peoples back to ancient times... and to its scientific value resulting from the biodiversity of its closely placed variety of habitats... the entire region is located on the Russian Plain, at the meeting place of three native zones: forest, steppe, and forest-steppe... part of the Middle Volga Complex Biosphere... Thanks a lot Oleg!【ツ】

National Park Samara Bend in the Samara Region was founded in 1984 with an area of 134 thousand ha. It covers most of the peninsula formed by the 180-degree bend of the Volga River in the Samara Oblast. The north shore of the bend is on the Kuybyshev Reservoir, the south side is on the Saratov Reservoir, and it has a border with Zhiguli Nature Reserve. 
 
The Samara Region is located in southwestern part of the East European Plain on the Volga River. It borders on the Republic of Tatarstan, and the Orenburg, Saratov and Ulyanovsk regions. It also has a state border with Kazakhstan.
