Ecotropics of Karelia

Start your morning with a walk along Marble Canyon. An eco-trail runs along it, offering beautiful views of the surrounding nature. The park opens daily at 10:00 am.

Ruskeala Mountain Park is the main pride of Karelia. It is an amazing combination of marble mountains, turquoise lakes and lush greenery.

Another interesting point on the territory of the reserve is a kennel of huskies, where you can ride a dog sled. You should inform about your visit in advance through VK group or through website.

A small cozy cafe is located on the shore of the lake near the Stone of Wishes. The menu includes both traditional Karelian dishes and European cuisine. Be sure to try the traditional Karelian fish soup.

And to make the way home not seem so tiresome, you can make a short stop and admire the views of Lake Ladoga.

Until 2013, the Forest Hut was inhabited only by horses, but then Catherine, the hut's owner, came up with the idea of breeding reindeer. And now it is a sanctuary for these noble animals. You have to make an appointment to visit it. The izba is open on Wednesdays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10:00 till the last client. Registration by phone +79043343077.

Dinner awaits you at Ohta Park. A very nice place in the style of a European chalet will be a great choice before returning home.
