The Sengiley mountains (Russian: Сенгиле́евские го́ры) are formed on the edge of the Volga Uplands, on the right bank of the middle Volga River in the Uluyanovsk region of Russia.[1]

Topography[]

The area is part of the forest-steppe region, featuring representatives of forest: birch, pine tree, oak. The river banks of the Volga River along the eastern edge are on the Kuybyshev Reservoir. Much of the Sengiley Mountains region has been protected in the boundaries of the Sengileevskie Mountains National Park. This park was established in 2017 to preserve and restore the broken natural and historical and cultural complexes and objects of this unique natural territory.
