Located in the north of the Russian plain, the "Russian North" has become one of the first national parks that appeared on the territory of the Russian Federation completely officially.

The peculiarity of this protected area is that on a comparatively small territory in this region of the Russian Plain it was possible to simultaneously collect the most complete "collection" of plants and trees, comfortably accommodate a huge number of mammals, fish and birds, many of which have long been listed as endangered not only on the territory of the Russian Federation, but also on a global scale.

On the one hand, this is the indisputable dignity of the national national park, which helps to maintain the population of endangered species at the required level . On the other hand, amateurs hunting, fishing and unauthorized deforestation, it will take several days to study not only the list of rare species of animals, birds and trees, but also to read selected articles of the criminal code in advance to be aware of how many years of life a person will be taken away by the state punch if livestock will be exterminated or accidentally, or according to malicious intent .

Entertainment, excursions and attractions

As for historical and architectural monuments, their number in the national park "Russian North" can not fail to impress. First of all, several monasteries built during the 14-15 centuries of Russian history have a special significance among other buildings.

Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery

Separately worth noting is the oldest of all architectural monuments - the Kirillo-Belozersky Monastery, which was able to stand without special losses with the prayers of its novices from 1397 to the present day.

Ferapontov Monastery

However, in terms of culture, the most valuable is the Ferapontov Monastery, founded in the late 14th century. The bottom line is that this is the only architectural ensemble, in which there were original wall paintings of one of the best masters of the Middle Ages - Dionysius. In many ways, thanks to this unique detail, at the turn of the millennium the Ferapontov Monastery became an object of UNESCO's world cultural heritage, and the Russian North National Park received another weighty reason for pride.

Nilo-Sorsk heath

In addition, the national park has another important landmark - it is on its territory that the Nilo-Sorsk Wasteland is located. The very place where Neil at one time seriously founded his Spartan monastery and from which he stigmatized his contemporaries occupying church posts, and also convicted of money-grubbing.
