    Day 1

    141 mi

    Aero walk, radon springs, Coporje.

    Start this day with an energetic tour of the Gostilitsa airfield and try flying in an aerotube. Then explore the radon springs in the village of Lopukhinka and the mysterious architectural beauty of Koporje. At the end, hang a grand stone visitor from the distant past on the Izhorsky land.
    The day will be full, and probably we won't have an opportunity to stop for lunch in a restaurant, so it's better to take some food with us to have a snack on the way.

    Airfield
    Open Details
    Go early in the morning to the largest airfield in the Northwest Federal District. More than 100 aircraft are based in "Gostilitsa", some of which are used for air tours.
    The airport operates every day, but excursions must be arranged in advance. If you wish, you can even take a flight in the cockpit with a pilot. However, for this you will need to make an appointment no earlier than 10 days before the flight. In addition, guests also have the opportunity to try their hand at flying in the hot air tube, which also requires an appointment.
    You can buy a ticket and get comprehensive information, as well as sign up for a tour on the official website.

    Radonovyye Istochniki V Lopukhinke

    Landmark
    Open Details
    A deep winding canyon with steep slopes, outcrops of ancient limestone, water of emerald color, dense forest along the banks, and several large lakes with radon springs - this is what nature looks like in winter and summer near the famous springs in Lopukhinka.
    Behind the lower lake you can find the remains of an ancient manor house of a famous navigator Bellingshausen (who organized in Lopukhinka a free resort for veteran sailors) and a trout farm.

    Koporskaya Fortress

    Landmark
    Open Details
    The main pride of Koporie is the fortress, which is almost 8 centuries old. Over the years it has belonged to German knights, Novgorodians and Swedes. Unfortunately, it is temporarily impossible to enter the territory of the fortress: it is under reconstruction. But nobody will forbid you to admire the grandiose building from outside - it looks impressive!

    Waterfall

    Nature Preserve
    Open Details
    All waterfalls in Koporje are quite small - no more than half a meter high, but still quite beautiful. A couple of waterfalls are located right on the Koporka River in relatively easy accessibility, and there is another one far away, but you have to sneak through the forest. However, the first two will be quite enough to give an impression of the nature of these places.

    Petrovitsky boulder

    Nature Preserve
    Open Details
    In 10 minutes drive from Koporje, in the middle of boundless field, rises Petrovitsky boulder. It was left here by a retreating glacier several thousand years ago.
    For these edges, the boulder is huge: 33 meters in circumference and 5.5 meters high. On a stone the size of a small house there is a flat area: someone hammered in the staples and attached a rope, so you can try to climb up.
    The stone can be reached on foot (about 5 minutes on foot), or the car can be easily left at the exit on a dirt road.
