Day 1
465 mi
A day on the road, a short walk through New Ladoga and Petrozavodsk.
We'll spend the first day on the road. On the way we'll admire the old town of Old Ladoga, stop at a soulful restaurant "Mandrogi", walk on the shore of Lake Onega in Petrozavodsk. We'll come to the hotel at midnight - it's necessary to have a good night's sleep, because tomorrow we'll have to drive a lot more.

Staraya Ladoga
Landmark
Open Details
The road to Murmansk is not a long one, but do not deny yourself the pleasure of stopping at beautiful places along the way. For example, you can visit the village of Staraya Ladoga. According to archaeological data, this is the most ancient city of Russia and the alleged capital of the state of Rurik.
Almost the entire territory of the village is occupied by the museum-reserve with architectural monuments of the VIII-XIX centuries.

Restoran
Restaurant
Open Details
There are few worthy restaurants on the further part of the route. Among the absolute favourites is the restaurant in the place Mandrogi, reconstructed village of the XIX century. These are real refectory chambers in Old Russian tsarist style, with antique furniture and old household items.
The menu corresponds to the interiors: beef tongue with horseradish, cutlets from Onega pike-perch, pelmeni from venison. The prices are expectedly high, but you don't spare any money for such beauty. Keep in mind, that everything is prepared "with a knife", so you should order complex dishes in advance. As a last resort, you can drop in at the pancake house next door, where they cook much faster.

Onega embankment
Open Details
We stop for a while in Petrozavodsk to stroll along Onega embankment and listen to the cries of seagulls. There are many art objects and monuments on the city embankment, and magnificent Karelian sunsets may become a topic for a separate trip.

Time is nearing midnight, we're running out of strength. We'll continue tomorrow, but in the meantime we'll find a hotel to recover from a difficult day.
