Nizhnyaya Kama National Park

Pine forests along the Kama River in Tatarstan, central Russia

Three separate clusters of mostly pine forest protect the banks of the Kama River in Tatarstan, with high ravined slopes on the right bank and flat land on the left. The park also takes in meadows on the right bank below the dam, where the Kama meanders.
