Mountain landscapes of Karelia and snowmobiles

In the morning visit the ancient Russian wooden fortress of the XIV-XVI centuries, built by the Novgorodians in 1310 on the Castle Island.
In XVI-XVII centuries the Swedes rebuilt the fortifications according to the bastion system, lined the earth ramparts with granite, erected stone structures of the Round Tower, the Old Arsenal, the Gunpowder Cellar on the territory of the fortress.
The fortress is open from Wednesday to Sunday from 10:00.

Climbers train here in summer, but in winter you can simply climb up the well-trodden path to the top, which goes through bushes and trees: the observation platform offers a beautiful view. Be careful, it may be slippery - wear comfortable shoes and follow safety precautions!

One of the most beautiful points in the region, which offers a magnificent view. The ascent takes about 15 minutes, but be careful, there are no identification signs in front of the point. The only reference point is a small car pocket on the road before the start of the climb.

Once again, Point on the Map, this time in a bistro format. The café stands right on the highway - you won't miss it. There is no fixed menu, the café works on the principle of self-service.

In the afternoon you can take a snowmobile trip. Snowmobiles are probably the only way to get to such places, where even in the warm season you can't always get by boat. Contacts for booking are at website.

Dinner awaits you at a simple café near Ruskeala Park, where most of tomorrow's activities will take place. Walks will start in the morning, and today try traditional Karelian pies or ukha.

It's time to rest, tomorrow you will see the most spectacular views of Karelia.
