After meeting at the station in Sortavala, you will have breakfast in a cafe.
Transfer to the shore of Lake Ladoga.
You will go trekking on the "back of the goblin" – Mount Hiidenvuori. Sometimes this mountain is also called Bald Mountain, because there is not a single tree on the top of the mountain.
From the top of the mountain there is a stunning view of Lake Ladoga, the islands, the skerries and the Yanisjoki River. On a clear sunny day, we can even see the domes of the legendary Valaam Monastery.
At the top there is a man-made cave, which was built by the Finns during the Russian—Finnish war, a grotto with a vertical shaft. An inscription from 1940 has also been preserved there.
After trekking, motor boats will be waiting for you, on which you will go to one of the islands of the Ladoga skerries to set up camp.
Lake Ladoga is the largest lake in Europe. It is rich in islands — up to 500 islands with an area of up to 300 square kilometers. The necklace of islands is divided by a maze of straits (skerries). Thirty-two rivers carry their waters to Ladoga. Lake Ladoga can be called a storehouse of solar energy without exaggeration.
Dinner and overnight in the field.
