In order to see another reality, it is not necessary to look for an opportunity to fly to the other side of the globe. It's enough to pack your bags and head towards, perhaps, one of the most amazing natural places of the Karelian region - Ruskeala Mountain Park.
Once in these surroundings, you will surely forget about civilization and urban life. Among the many crystal waterfalls and canyons you will have a real unity with nature and you will catch your Zen.
Be sure to check the official website of the park before you travel, you might be lucky to get to the festival. In winter, the Mystery of the Deep is a festival of ice sculpture in the caves. There are even occasional concerts. For example, the park hosted the Ruskeala Symphony Festival, where the Karelian Symphony Orchestra played classics, rock and the Beatles. There were even DJ sets.
