Schepkinsky Forest

Schepkinsky Forest is a large natural area in the north-east of Rostov-on-Don and one of the city’s most extensive green zones. It offers a calm, open atmosphere with wooded sections, clearings, and water features that give the landscape a varied and unspoiled feel. For visitors, it is a good place to slow down, walk, and enjoy a quieter side of the city.

The forest is especially appealing because it combines natural woodland with ponds and former quarry areas that have become part of a protected environment. Wildlife is an important part of the experience, making the area interesting for nature lovers and anyone looking to observe local plants and animals. Rather than a developed tourist attraction, Schepkinsky Forest stands out for its scale, ecological value, and peaceful character.
