    The road to the Russian North is decorated with a variety of ancient churches, the shore of Lake Ladoga, powerful fortresses, and many small lakes. Today you will visit the village of Mandrogi. In this corner of wooden architecture try your hand at handicraft and art workshops.

    Old Ladoga. The first capital of Northern Russia. Fortress on the bank of the Volkhov River, to which leads an overgrown and crumbling downhill. In one of the towers of the fortress is now a two-story museum. Interesting exposition and layout of the room plunges you into the Middle Ages.
    The exhibits are open daily. More information on official website.

    Today we offer you to have lunch at Staraya Sloboda. It serves delicious homemade food. In summer there is an open veranda, so you can enjoy the cleanest air near the Roschinskoye Lake.
    Bon appetit! Read more about the restaurant on official website.
