Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Kivach Nature Reserve and Marcial Waters. The Valley of the Hares art object

    Arrival in Petrozavodsk.

    Meeting of the group with a sign at the central entrance to the station from the platform (for groups from St. Petersburg, train No. 12, arrival 07:00, tourists are waiting for the arrival of train No. 18).

    Buffet breakfast in the restaurant.

    Departure for a country trip to the Kivach Nature Reserve with a visit to Europe's largest plain waterfall.

    Inspection of the Karelian birch arboretum.

    Visit to the first Russian resort of Marcial Waters, founded by Peter the Great, with a tasting of water from 4 springs, a tour of the Church of the Apostle Peter.

    Stop at the art object "Valley of the Hares".

    The Valley of the Hares is a place that is open to both adults and children. And what could be more impressive than a rock with a thousand hares?

    Artist Sergey Gapanovich set out to carve 1,000 hares on a rock, and now he has managed to embody about 600 hares.

    Everyone will find for themselves the reason why hares live in the valley, and perhaps they will want to become the owner of a new big-eared animal on the body of the rock.

    Return to Petrozavodsk.

    Accommodation at the hotel.

    The host company organized our entire vacation in Karelia, and our wonderful guide, Olga, accompanied us everywhere, always making sure we were handed over smoothly to the next person. We were met, assisted, and transferred at every step. Everything was excellent!!! So many positive emotions!!! Our group was fantastic too! It’s a shame our time in Karelia went by so quickly.
