Something about islands Why is Lake Seliger considered to be something special and unique? Because of a wide variety of reasons and first of them is its nature. The lake itself and the landscape around are second to none. Just look at these pictures and make sure of that.

Actually a lot of them! Absolutely different ones! Some are so large that even several villages or a town locate there. Some are very small and desert but full of wild animals.
