Sukhona River Meanders
Intricate horseshoe bends and high sandy banks of the primary river in the Vologda region.
Lake Kubenskoye
A vast, shallow glacial lake visible to the north when cruising near the city of Vologda.
Darwin Nature Reserve
A massive protected wetland area located at the confluence of the reservoir and the forests.
Rybinsk Reservoir
One of the largest man-made bodies of water in the world, appearing like an inland sea.
Cherepovets Steel Works
The colossal industrial landscape of the Severstal plant, especially impressive during night approaches.
This side is superior for sunset flights as the light reflects off the meandering rivers and the reservoir. On night flights, keep your window shade up for the dramatic orange glow of the steel mills upon arrival.
