TARKHOVKA, a locality south of Sestroretsk, between the Primorskoe Highway and Lake Sestroretsky Razliv. It borders Razliv on the north, and the Alexandrovskaya station on the south; also the name of a train station along the Saint Petersburg - Sestroretsk railway. The Primorskaya Railway, laid in 1894, made Tarkhovka a popular summer retreat. Tarkhovka accommodates a sanatorium belonging to the Defense Ministry of the Russian Federation. Residences are mostly made up of private houses. In 1958, the Tarkhovsky Forest Park was established west of Tarkhovka, between the Primorskoe Highway and the Gulf of Finland.
