We spent almost a week in one of the most beautiful and clean regions of Russia:
– we walked around the capital of Karelia – Petrozavodsk and learned the history of this city
– went on a Meteor to Kizhi Island to visit the well-known open-air museum with wooden multi-domed churches
– visited the art object “Valley of Hares”, the resort of Marcial Waters, the ancient volcano Girvas, the largest plain waterfall Kivach
– rafted down the mountain river Shuya, overcoming three rapids of varying difficulty
– had a picnic lunch in the forest by the fire on the river bank
– visited the attraction park in Petrozavodsk
– grilled shashlik on the shore of one of the Karelian lakes
– went boating, used catamarans, bicycles, went fishing and visited sauna
– admired the waterfall Tohmajoki, near which the film “The Dawns Here Are Quiet” was filmed
– we visited the incredibly beautiful Ruskeala Mountain Park and walked along the marble canyon
– we went on the fabulous Ruskeala Express to the city of Sortavala
And most importantly, we walked a lot, talked, made friends, played, spent time together, made memorable cards. Each of us will remember this trip for the rest of our lives!
