PICTURESQUE CORNERS
The type of river system depends on the geographical and climatic features of the area. The Central Russian Upland, more precisely, its southwestern part, where the Kursk Region is located, is famous for the variety of flora and fauna. This area is characterized by a flat relief with small hills. Erosion damage, responsible for its formation in a given area, is mainly caused by the activity of river flows. Rivers and lakes of the Kursk region are a complex of separate picturesque corners, alternating one after another. As a result of the activity of small rivers, many ravines were formed. Forest-steppes are replaced by broad-leaved forests and oak forests. There are also pine groves that sprawl on sandy soils. Forests covering the coast alternate with meadows partially plowed for agricultural land.


Basically, the natural lakes of this region are formed in the floodplains of some rivers, once flooded with floods. Many of them are elders of the Seim river. These include lakes such as Malino, Fitizh, Macove, Lezvino, Cranberry. The latter was formed on the site of a former peat bog at the beginning of the 20th century. In places, its shores are covered with forest glades dotted with strawberries and raspberries. Many plants grow here, including those listed in the Red Book. Malino Lake is known as a source of good catch. It is noteworthy that each individual fish species knows its place in the pond. Lake Fitizh, near which there is a village with architectural sights, attracts many tourists in the summer.
