Priozersky District ofLeningrad Oblast , close to the border with theRepublic of Karelia , in the northernmost part of theKarelian Isthmus , 10 km from the railway stationKuznechnoye . The lake is situated in a depression between steep outcrops ofgranite rocks of theBaltic Shield , which are a popularclimbing area . The lake and its surroundings (including Lake Pestovo) are designated as a protectednatural monument of Leningrad Oblast.In 2006 licenses was issued by Karelian authorities to establish granite quarries in the
Republic of Karelia next to the natural monument, which is situated nearby, but in another federal subject. After a public campaign against the project and petitioning by the government ofLeningrad Oblast in 2007 the licenses were withdrawn and the 10 km zone along the border in Karelia near the lake was reserved as a protected area.
