Astrakhan state nature reserve

The Volga Delta is the richest and most beautiful part of the world, a unique natural region. It is one of the largest deltas in the world and has a high biological diversity. It was here, more than a hundred years ago, that the Astrakhan nature reserve was founded in order to protect and restore the number of waterfowl and near-water birds, as well as to preserve the symbol of the Volga Delta – the Royal Lotus. Now You have a unique opportunity to visit the protected areas and see with your own eyes its inhabitants, who recently were on the verge of extinction-white-tailed eagles, great egrets, curly pelicans, Quakers and many other species of birds, animals and insects in their natural habitat. Appreciate the beauty of the gallery forests and endless fields of blooming Lotus. Visit the confluence of the Volga with the Caspian sea.
