Waterfalls and red sands

The route to the deserted places implies picnics in nature. That's why there are no cafes on our route, only fresh air, deserted nature and seclusion.
It's time to buy some picnic food. Don't forget all the essentials. In order not to spoil the food, I recommend taking a cooler bag.

Our trip to Tosnensky district will begin with a visit to the quarries. They are also called "Shapkinskie lakes".
The water in the quarries is very clean and there are often picnics. These picturesque landscapes are a local landmark.

This waterfall is not very high, but nevertheless, like the rest of the local waterfalls, it is a unique phenomenon of nature, as waterfalls are extremely rare in the plain area. The height of this waterfall is on average two meters, but somewhere around five.
The waterfall is located near the village of Ulyanovka.

This waterfall is the same age as Niagara's. Its age is about ten thousand years. At the time when the Yoldian Sea became lower to the level of the ocean, this waterfall was formed.

Now we will go to this point on the bank of the Tosna River.
There is a place where you can see the famous red sands. They are sediments of red quartz.

On the way back we'll take a walk along the Neva embankment. This place is far from the city, there is clean air.
What could be more beautiful than evening silence and beautiful views after a day outdoors?
