More than 70 kilometers of the Vazuza River are planned to be restored in the Smolensk Region by the end of the year.Clearing the riverbed is one of the stages of the "road map" for the creation of the "Zagon Tract" national park within the boundaries of the regional state natural reserve "Forest massifs in the Zagon tract". This was reported by the Ministry of Natural Resources of Russia on its website.

"The cleared section of the river will increase the recreational attractiveness of the area and will contribute to the development of tourism in the region," the message says.
