      🏛 Okkervil at Tovarishchesky Bridge

      Товарищеский пр., мост через Оккервиль

      The very Okkervil of Tatyana Tolstaya's story: a narrow river between high banks, willows and traces of beavers.

      • The Okkervil is an 18-km left tributary of the Okhta, starting in the marshes near the Koltushi Heights.
      • The river is from one and a half to 25 metres wide and less than a metre deep.
      • By one version the name comes from the Swedish colonel Okkervil, who owned a manor at the river's mouth; by another, from a Finnish word for “bend”.
      • The hero of Tolstaya's story “The Okkervil River” never went to see it, so as not to destroy the dream.
