Around Nature Lake Trail Bezdonnoe: A Trail to Quiet Water

Route at a glance

The shoreline continually changes perspective, moving between sheltered sections and exposed headlands. Even the connecting sections remain engaging because of coastal paths, exposed headlands and sheltered bays. Particular attention should be given to Lake Bezdonnoe and Nature Trail Lake Bezdonnoe. These are the places that give the route its recognisable character.
