Our journey will begin at Anna Akhmatova's summer house. The resort village of Komarovo attracts with its measured rhythm, stepping accessibility of the Gulf of Finland and coniferous forest. The route of the first day will pass through Lutheran Kirkhi. The history of these structures is not simple, but interesting. The evening will begin with an introduction to Finnish architecture in the Karelian city of Sortavala. On the second day it is planned to walk through flat waterfalls and take a boat trip on the lake in a marble canyon, watching the natural game of light. Our short trip to the private zoo will end.
