Zelyony Island (Rostov-on-Don)

The island is covered with wood and meadow vegetation. Poplar, ash and blackberries are habitat there. The beaches are mostly sandy, overgrown with sedge. There is also a public beach with amenities, recreation centers, children's camps.

The island from north to south is crossed by a single-track electrified railway line Razvilka-Bataisk. The line crosses the Nakhchivan channel and the Don along two railway bridges.

Through the Nakhichevan channel leads a pontoon bridge that provides access to the island. At the entrance to the bridge there is a barrier, but for pedestrians and cyclists access is unrestricted.

In ancient times on the island there were seasonal fishermen's camps. They belonged to the nearby Kobyakovo Settlement.
