Although located on the edge of densely populated Europe, the Volga river kingdom still offers a surprising amount of space for untamed nature. There are dozens of nature reserves and reserves in the catchment area. Nowhere else in Europe can you find such intact river landscapes and wetlands. Riparian forests, bogs, meadows and flood plains accompany the lowlands of Oka, Sura, Kama, Wetluga or Samara. They are only tributaries of the huge main stream, but mostly larger than the Rhine, Main or Elbe. As a result of the Second World War, the forests of Central Russia have shrunk considerably. Settlement, dams and agriculture also take their toll. In the huge catchment area of the Volga, however, there is still room for wild animals. European bison, elk and wild boar live in the forested north of the Volga river valley in addition to beaver, mink and otters. The river landscapes are habitats for species that are rarely found in Western Europe. See less
