Harmony with nature
The Värjamänselkä ridge is an amazing trail that runs through a hilly area, in a pine forest that is home to rare plant species and rare animal and reptile species.
There are two beautiful lakes and a couple of bridges over the turbulent Volchya river. On the Lebyazhie lake there is a place for bathing, a gazebo and places for campfire.
On the second part of the route you'll find the equipped parking places and the viewing platform. The old Finnish hydropower station with a dam is an extremely picturesque place of the power of nature!

Except walks with children and animals on the territory of the complex it is possible to fish, to go to the bathhouse (forest and lake), to rent a bicycle and to ride through the forest (or to take them on the Mountain), in winter to tub, to fly over the woods on a troll, and simply to spend time in the nature.

Nature Preserve

If you are with children, I recommend going the 7 km trail, not the 14 km one. After Lake Lebyazhie, there will be a choice to go for a big lap or a smaller one.
Take a thermos and a snack with you, there will be several nice places along the route to have a snack and have a rest.

озеро Лебяжье
Lake
Open Details
The water in Lake Lebyazhe is warm and clear (you can see the bottom for 3 meters), the bottom is fine sandy, you can swim in it. The banks are boggy, that's why you can't stay near the water, but there are specially equipped places for cooking on the fire, and you can stay in the gazebo nearby.
On the route of 14 km there is a touching sight - forestry, where they grow small fir trees for the whole area.

Finnish Hydroelectric Power Plant
Landmark
Open Details
Not far from the first bridge over the Volchya River there are resting places. Again, the pine forests on the high hills start. Very pleasant for walking and memorable terrain.
Along the ridge of the hills, you emerge to a look-out point on the forest (a kind of trail appendix leads to it from the stand), and from there you return and descend to another bridge over the Volchya River, where resting places are also equipped.
Then you can see the picturesque dam of the old Finnish hydroelectric power station. After that you go up from the river valley to the ridge again and along the power line (along the road, where the marking also continues) you come out to the village near the Petäjärvi station.

The cafe has a cozy atmosphere. And after a long walk, you'll always be tempted to go to bed with a delicious meal.

Great location, comfort and all amenities close by. But you'll just want to lie down to rest and explore the area in the morning.
