Prielbrusye National Park

Prielbrusye National Park is a protected mountain wilderness in the central Caucasus Mountains of southern Russia, encompassing the area around Mount Elbrus, the highest summit in Europe at 5,642 meters above sea level. The park spans the Elbrussky and Zolsky districts of the Kabardino-Balkar Republic, covering approximately 1,010,200 hectares of dramatic alpine terrain. Established in 1986 under the management of Russia's Ministry of Natural Resources and Environment, the park protects one of the most ecologically significant landscapes in the Caucasus region, where the meeting of different ecological zones and extreme elevation variation have created exceptional biodiversity and high levels of endemism. The relative isolation of steep gorges has allowed unique species to persist, making this area particularly valuable for conservation. The park lies about 90 kilometers west of the city of Nalchik and borders Georgia to the south.
