A few kilometers away from the source of the Volga River lies Lake Seliger - the most famous tourist destination in central Russia center. This is a world of lakes intertwined by a series of tributaries and inlets, stretching for more than a hundred kilometers from north to south.

The Volga River meanders among many lakes and swamps, absorbing some small and medium-sized rivers, and loops around about 100 kilometers north of Moscow, flowing through the ancient Russian cities of Rzhev and Zubzo Russia, Tver, Ugrich, Yaroslav, Kostroma, and in Nizhny Novgorod it joins with its largest right tributary, the Oka River.
