The wider destination of Leningrad Oblast offers other distinct nature and cultural experiences. The Veps Forest Nature Park lies in the far east of the oblast and comprises seven nature reserves with particularly strict protection rules. Numerous lakes define the park; the largest is Lake Lerinskoye, in the reserve of the same name. The «Veppskiy les» and «Ashchozyorskiy» reserves preserve ancient spruce and pine forests. They are important for the many organisms that can survive only in forests undisturbed by economic activity.

Wildlife is also part of the region's natural landscape: brown bears are relatively numerous in the nature park, and the wolverine, which is extremely rare in the oblast, has also been recorded there. Sightings are not guaranteed. The Veps have traditionally lived in the park; they are a small people of Russia with their own culture and traditions.

Another regional attraction is Koporye Fortress in Leningrad Oblast. It is a museum and a monument to ancient Russian stone architecture. Its present form has survived since the 16th century, while parts of the masonry date back to the 13th century. The walls and towers must not be climbed because they are in a critical state. The nature park and the fortress appeal to different interests: protected landscapes and forests on the one hand, and historic architecture on the other.
