Source of the Volga River

Source of the Volga River
russia, Tver
The source of the Volga River is located near the village. Volgoverkhovye at an altitude of 228 m above sea level. It consists of several springs that flow from the swamp and combine into a small water stream. A small chapel with a wooden bridge and a platform was built above the source, from which a descent to the water was laid with steps. In this spring, the water is drinkable and has a reddish-brown hue. In the zone of the source of the Volga, a nature reserve was created with protected forests with a total area of ​​​​more than 4100 hectares, and St. Olginsky Convent is located nearby.

Visited Seliger - discovered Russia! The desire to get here was not very good, but everything changed in the first minute, the fresh air, the lake. I really liked the trip to the Source of the Volga. Here is a monastery, a small village, fields and a small Volga. We made many traditions - and sang ""From afar flows the Volga River", washed our eyes, walked along the first bridge over the Volga, looked at the first dam. This place is really Russian - worth a visit!
