Pripyshminskiye Bory National Park (Russian: Припышминские Боры; literally "Pyshma Forest") is located in the southwestern corner of the West Siberian Plain. The national park protects a complex of pine and birch forests. About 10% of the area is non-forested marshes, ponds, hayfields and pastures. The park is located in the Sverdlovsk Oblast, 150 km east of the city of Yekaterinburg and 70 miles west of Tyumen. The route of the Trans-Siberian Railroad passes by the two sections of the park.
