Khvalynsky National Park (Russian:

of chalk hills of the Volga Uplands, covered in
mixed oak-linden and conifer forests, along the
west side of the Volga River. It is about
1,000 km north of the Caspian Sea, in Saratov
Oblast overlooking the Saratov Reservoir. The
northern end is about 10 km west of the city of
Khvalynsk, and about 200 km northeast of
Saratov on the Volga. About 25,524 hectares
(63,071 acres; 255 km2; 99 sq mi) in size,
Khvalynsky is spread over three sections. The
park was officially formed in 1994.[1]
