Here the river Neva discharges its water into the Gulf of Finland. The Land of Izhora served Russia as the gateway to the Baltic Sea and it was here that the trading route connecting the West with the East began. In the 8th and the 9th centuries the famous road from the Varangian to Greek passed here via the river routes from the Baltic to the Black Sea.
