Today is a very active day for us! Snowmobiles, dog sleds and the magnificent Kivach Waterfall are waiting for us!
Transfer from the guest house to Kivach Waterfall.
Arrival at the reserve. Guided tour of the waterfall observation decks and the Nature Museum.
Kivach belongs to the geomorphological natural monuments of the federal rank. The waterfall was the second largest lowland waterfall in Europe (after the Rhine). The water falls in four ledges from a height of 10.7 m.
Let's take a couple of bright photos and move on!
Departure to the kennel of huskies, deer and horses! Nursery tour + sledding.
It's time to forget about work and enjoy the amazing beauty of Karelian nature on a short dog sled ride!
In our kennel, you will be greeted by 40 of the best sled dogs in Russia – champions and participants of famous races. Thousands of kilometers of the most difficult snow trails lay under their paws, and with them you will make an unforgettable sled ride through a protected pine forest.
We offer a 2.5 km dog sledding trip.
You will also get acquainted with the beautiful reindeer, our reindeer breeder will tell you about them in as much detail as possible and provide you with the opportunity to feed them with yagel.
The guide's sled will move ahead of you on the route to ensure your safety. You can drive the sled yourself or enjoy the ride as a passenger.
Upon returning to the base, it's time to share your impressions with friends, relax, warm up by the campfire and drink tea with sweets in the traditional chum!
Lunch at a cafe.
Preparation for a snowmobile safari: equipment, instruction (for families with children under 7 years old, it is possible to replace the safari with an excursion trip to the residence of Karelian Santa Claus — Talviukko).
You will enjoy a 2-hour safari, a rugged mountain trail, incredible landscapes and a lot of emotions.
For children on safari, there is a master class on birch bark weaving in a cafe at the starting point.
With favorable ice conditions on safari, we will visit the ancient church, which turned 400 years old in 2020!
The architecture of the church on Lychny Island is identical to the architecture of the lost Assumption Church. The village on Lychny Island is one of the oldest and largest villages in Karelia. It owes its fame to the famous Church of Saints Peter and Paul, erected in 1620 and standing on the highest point of the island. Its inhabitants left the village long ago, but their houses with carved porches and black baths on the shore have been preserved.
Speed, a whirlwind of snow and Karelian expanses will energize you for future achievements!
The end of the route.
Return to the guest house. Sauna for an additional fee.
