WHAT DOES VALDAI HILLS MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Valdai Hills

The Valdai Hills are an upland region in north-west of central Russia running north-south, about midway between Saint Petersburg and Moscow, spanning Leningrad, Novgorod, Tver, Pskov, and Smolensk Oblasts. The hills are a northward extension of the Central Russian Upland. The ridge is overlain by deposited glacial materials in the form of terminal moraines and other detritus. The Valdai Hills reach maximum height, near Vyshny Volochyok, of 346.9 m. The Volga, the Daugava, the Lovat, the Msta, the Dnieper, the Syas, and others rivers originate in the Valdai Hills. The region thus is divided between the drainage basins of the Caspian Sea, the Black Sea, and the Baltic Sea. It is a place of many lakes, among them Lake Volgo, Lake Peno, Lake Seliger, Lake Brosno, and Lake Valdayskoye. The Valdai Hills are a popular tourist destination, particularly for fishing. The towns of Ostashkov and Valday are also remarkable for their historical associations. Valdaysky National Park was established in 1990 in the southern part of Novgorod Oblast to protect the landscapes of the highest part of the hills.
