Komarovsky Coast

The natural monument "Komarovsky Bereg" in Sestroretsk was created to preserve the natural complexes of the northern coast of the Gulf of Finland and the habitats of rare animals. On the Littorina terrace of the territory there are many ravines up to 75 meters wide and up to 12 meters deep, and the streams at their bottom contain a large amount of iron. In the pine forests on the upper terrace grows the rare shrub Chimaphila umbellata, and among the psammophilous coastal species there are sea mustard and rugosa rose. Human development of this territory began about 120 years ago, with the main entrance to the eco-trail located on Morskaya Street in the village of Komarovo.
