Bogdinsko-Baskunchak Reserve in the city of Akhtubinsk

Bogdinsko-Baskunchak Reserve is located near the Russian-Kazakh border in the Astrakhan region. It was established in 1997, which makes it one of the young reserves in Russia. Here are unique objects: singing mountain Big Bogdo, Baskunchak, one of the largest drainless salt lakes, “green garden”, which is a green oasis in the semi-desert and others. The reserve is home to about fifty species of mammals and more than two hundred species of birds.

Environmental routes through the reserve and the rules of stay can be found on the official website of the Bogdinsko-Baskunchak Reserve. Two Russian films were shot on its territory: “Speed” and “Paper Soldier”.
