The village of Pogost and Kolodozero

Start your day by admiring the river scenery. Not far from the small and very beautiful church there is a suspended, wooden bridge over the Andoma River. The river flows into Lake Onega, which resembles a sea.

Spend the first half of the day on the beach Shalsky with golden sand and clear waters of Lake Onega. The beach is accessed through the village of wooden buildings.
Clean sand, the smell of pine trees and one-storey houses at the cliff - what can be better on such a beautiful day.
If you think the water in the lake seems cool, try a swim in the Vodla, the water is much warmer here.

Have lunch at the restaurant "Na Ugly", which serves a variety of very tasty dishes - from khachapuri in Ogli to sushi. It's a great place to relax after a long trip.
The cafe is open daily.

Lake District. The village of Pogost. Guest house built in 1926. In the past guests from Moscow, St. Petersburg, Estonia, Hamburg came here for church holidays. The house was seldom empty, being a refuge for people who were confused or just wishing to take a break from the city hustle and bustle.
Only Arkady Shlykov lived there year-round and served in the church on the bank of the Kolodozero, which he built himself. The church was never closed. He ran the household, looked after the elderly, orphans, and played soccer with the local boys. In February 2018, Father Arkady passed away. His friends now live in the big house, their doors also open to wayfarers. A huge library and movie collection. There's a samovar on the table. Drinking tea and watching Antonioni movies.

If you are traveling in summer months, we recommend visiting Kenozersky National Park (you can also visit in winter, but in that case you should leave earlier or skip the previous stop). Here, the purest Arkhangelsk air, combined with the incredible nature of the region and the crystal clear lakes will make your head spin!
Start your trip through the park with a visit to the Visitor Center and ECO-museum, and then choose the activities to your liking. There is an abundance of them - master-classes, eco-trails, eco-farm and many more.

In summer the park is open from 9:00 to 21:00, in winter from 9:00 to 17:00. Clarify the opening hours in advance by calling +7 921 477 90 75.
We recommend dining at one of the hotels here.

On the way to the hotel we recommend to stop at the store and buy a light dinner, as there are not many places in town that work late. Tomorrow the White Sea and the town of Kirillov await you.
