Zhiguli are 375 m high. The Zhiguli reserve and national park Samara Bend are called the Volga Switzerland. The unique natural memorial keeps a lot of species of relic plants and animals of preglacial epoch. Tourists can travel on foot or by horse, visit the mountain galleries. A lot of anomalous phenomena of the Zhiguli Hills attract much attention. From time to time big luminescent green spheres appear in the sky.
