Nizhny Turovo

The village is located in a hilly area, almost at the beginning of the Central Russian Upland, in a lowland, surrounding the Kolotushka River and the Maiden. Of the surrounding resources, the village contains a large amount of chalk and sand, which are concentrated in small hills and "natural" quarries, which appeared due to the erosion of the hills by spring water. In some areas of the village, the Kolotushka River, flowing from North to South, separating, forms small peninsulas and swamps, near which there are kitchen gardens and houses. On the southern outskirts of the village is connected to the Devitsa River.

Some parts of the settlement are located in the lowlands of the hills - near the river. A frequent occurrence and morning fog.
