In the Leningrad region there are many picturesqueplaces. One of them is the tributary of the Svir, the Pasha River. This is a fairly large tributary, the length of which is more than 240 kilometers. The area of the river basin is 6600 square kilometers. And, despite the fact that this river is just an influx, it is estimated that its length exceeds the length of the Sviri itself by twelve kilometers.
In ancient times, it was on this river that ships that carried tribute to the tsarist treasury. Even in ancient birch-bark letters there are references to these places.
Stormy
The Pasha River is a meandering pond with quitestormy current. There are more than seventy thresholds. It belongs to the 6th class of shipping and is most often used for transporting forests. The amazing beauty of the coast, decorated with age-old pine and fir trees, have steep slopes and ups. In some places, the banks of the river decrease and dissolve in endless fields of many kilometers.

Transparent
The Pasha River originates from the lake, so ina lot of dams were built. Water in most areas is transparent and clean. If you swim on a boat and look down, the bottom is clearly visible. Some of the river inhabitants will not escape your gaze.
There are very few waterlogged places in this river.Basically, they are found in the lower reaches. The Pasha River of the Leningrad Region is one of the few stormy rivers in this region. She every second drops more than 65 cubic meters of water into the Svir. In some places, in connection with the high water and stormy "activity" of this reservoir, bulk dams have been built to prevent spills in the spring.
The river feeds mainly from thawed spring waters. It begins to freeze, as a rule, at the end of November, and in the last days of April it starts to make a lively noise again.
