Valday Tourist Information
Valday is world famous for its highlands lying between Moscow and St. Petersburg. Ages ago, a huge glacier drift came to a halt here, and thus, gave birth to numerous hills and small mountains which is so unusual of this part of Russia. The region located in the north of Central Russia seems to be a small mountain area, beautiful and homelike, a kind of Russian Switzerland.
The city of Valday is located in a picturesque place among lakes and hills covered with thin forests. The land of Valday is beautiful with its picturesque sceneries, clean air, and crystal lakes. It attracts people by its beauty and mysterious secrets of the old times.
Some of the greatest Russian lakes originate in the spurs of the Valday highlands – the Dnepr, the Volga and the West Dvina. In the very center of this magic land you may see "a blue pearl" of the region – Valday Lake.
The Valday district is located in the southeastern part of the Novgorod region. The center of the district is the city of Valday, 140km from Novgorod, 370km from Moscow and 330km from St. Petersburg. The climate of the region is temperate continental.
The region is fabulously rich with lakes (about 170 lakes) that prettify this land. Among them the most charming are Valday Lake and Uzhin Lake. The outline of their shores is very intricate. Both lakes are rather deep: 84m and 100m correspondingly. The beauty of these lakes is in numerous small islands scattered around.
