About Samursky National Park
Samursky National Park (Russian: Национальный парк «Самурский») is located on the west coast of the Caspian Sea, at the eastern extent of the Greater Caucasus Mountains in Dagestan, Russia. It is divided into two sectors: a coastal floodplain section on the delta of the Samur River, and a mountainous sector that includes Mount Bazardüzü and the southernmost extreme point in Russia. The coastal sector is notable for supporting a temperate-subtropical liana (widespread vines) forest. The park also protects near-shore waters of the Caspian. The park was officially created in 2019.
