Gapselga
Gapselga (russian: Гапсельга) is the highest point of Leningrad Oblast, and one of the highest points of the Vepsian Upland, standing at above sea level. Lake Chogozero is located to the northeast of the mountain and its height above sea level is only 42 meters lower. The road along the Oyat leads to the side of the mountain; it is considered difficult even for off-road vehicles. Travelers must walk to the top, as there are many fallen trees around.

Vepsian Upland
Vepsian Upland (russian: Вепсовская возвышенность vep, Vepsän ülüz) is a hilly region of the East European Plain located in Vologda Oblast and Leningrad Oblast, Russia. Lake Onega is located to the north. A forested sector at the western end of the hills is a protected area under the name Vepsian Forest ( vep, Vepsän mec; russian: Вепсский лес). It was established in 1999. Lake Shimozero, located in the eastern part of the Vepsian Upland, is also a protected area since 1978. Geography The Vepsian hilly area is a northward extension of the Central Russian Upland, in the same manner as the Valdai Hills to the southeast. The south-west / northeast oriented Tikhvin Ridge connects the central part of the Valdai Hills to the Vepsian Upland in its north-eastern part. Together with the Tikhvin Ridge, part of the Valdai Hills, the Vepsian Upland separates the basins of the Baltic and the Caspian Seas.
