The forest is dominated by deciduous trees such as oaks, maples, birches, and aspens, but there are also plenty of coniferous trees like pines, spruces, and mountain pines. The average age of the trees exceeds 100 years. Although a military base operated here during Soviet times, today it only remains a part of history.
