Sightseeings along the Ladoga

The first stop will be the famous Old Russian fortress, located on the Nut Island, with a rather funny name - the Nut Fortress. It was founded in the fourteenth century by the inhabitants of Veliky Novgorod and for a long time served as the most important outpost on the way to the Gulf of Finland, and today it is one of the most important cultural heritage sites of Russia in this region.

There are still quite a lot of events ahead of us, so to always have the strength and energy to take a short break and have lunch at a nice restaurant called Noteburg.
The situation inside is very cozy and modern. Visitors here will find a wide choice of dishes from the most different culinary directions, among which there are Asian, European and national.

One of the most important cultural and historical objects near St. Petersburg is the Diorama Museum.
His exposition reveals the details of Operation Spark in every detail. On the basis of archival documents and filming here are recreated the most important events of the seven-day battle for the breakthrough of the blockade of Leningrad.

The Leningrad region, along with the Republic of Karelia, is a unique region in terms of nature. Local forests and lakes have served as a base for many health centers, but perhaps the main treasure of these places is Lake Ladoga.
It affects the formation of the local climate, making it softer. There are also quite a few picturesque sandy beaches.

After long excursions and staying outdoors, it's time to take a short break and have dinner in one of the coastal cafes called "The World of Lighthouses" or, as it's called, "By the Lighthouse".
The atmosphere here is very calm and cozy, the interior is almost entirely made of wood, and the menu includes many dishes of fish and seafood.

After dinner, you can immediately go on holiday to the hotel. The day was still very busy, so you should get a good night's sleep. Tomorrow we will have a fascinating trip, we plan to go to Priozersk.
