Tourism

The Leningrad region attracts tourists very much, mainly thanks to the water flow of the Oredezh. The river has excellent conditions for recreation, which is used by visiting people. Its banks are rich in forests, the sandy bottom and the nature of the current are the most suitable for swimming. The danger is only that in some parts of the water stream there are large enough boulders and rolling. That's why beginners should avoid these places. The lower course is the purest and most suitable for rest, but the upper one is clogged, this is because local people often throw different garbage into the stream. This picture is quite unsightly and spoils not only the sight of the river, but also the general impression of visitors. However, Oredezh itself is not deprived of the beauty of the nearby landscape: it flows through the forest canyons, meadows and has steep banks enchanting with its beauty.
