The '''Vepsian Upland''' ({{lang-langx|ru|Вепсовская возвышенность, Вепсская возвышенность}}; {{langx|vep|Vepsän ülüz}}) is a [[hill]]y region of the [[East European Plain]] located in [[Vologda Oblast]] and [[Leningrad Oblast]], [[Russia]]. [[Lake Onega]] is located to the north.<ref name="GЕ"/>
 
A {{convert|189100|ha}} forested sector at the western end of the hills is a [[protected area]] under the name [[Vepsian Forest]] ({{langx|vep|Vepsän mec}}; {{langx|ru|Вепсский лес}}). It was established in 1999.<ref name="PA">[https://ooptlo.ru/vepsskij-les.html Природный парк «Вепсский лес»]</ref> Lake [[Shimozero]], located in the eastern part of the Vepsian Upland, is also a protected area since 1978.<ref name="PA2">[http://oopt.aari.ru/oopt/%D0%A8%D0%B8%D0%BC%D0%BE%D0%B7%D0%B5%D1%80%D1%81%D0%BA%D0%B8%D0%B9 Шимозерский]</ref>
 
==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 [[drainage basin|basins]] of the [[Baltic Sea|Baltic]] and the [[Caspian Sea]]s.<ref name="ЭСБЕ">[http://bse.sci-lib.com/article004106.html Вепсовская возвышенность] / ''[[Great Soviet Encyclopedia]]:'' in 30 vols. / Ch. ed.
