Departure for a country nature tour "Sampo Mountain – Marcial Waters – Kivach Waterfall".
The first object to visit is Mount Sampo ("mill").
It was here that the legendary Soviet fairy tale film "Sampo" was shot, based on the Karelo-Finnish epic "Kalevala".
Karelian rocks are unique, they are surprisingly harmonious and beautiful, and it is from Mount Sampo that a wonderful panoramic view of the surrounding area opens.
Lunch at a cafe on the way.
Then we go to the first Russian resort "Marcial Waters".
We will have an excursion and tasting of the healing water from three springs of the first Russian resort.
We will also see the Church of the Apostle Peter in the village of Marcial Waters, which is a unique monument of the era of Peter the Great, and after the Konchezersky factory it ranks second among the preserved monuments of that time.
The history of this Orthodox church dates back to 1721, and the church's design, according to legend, was prepared by the tsar himself.
Excursion to the Kivach Nature Reserve, a state nature reserve that can be called one of the oldest natural monuments located in the country.
This facility became the first national nature reserve in Karelia.
Its main attraction was the beautiful Kivach waterfall, which gave its name to a unique natural object.
The nature of Karelia, the land of forests, lakes and granite cliffs, is harsh, but majestic and beautiful.
Nowhere in the world have giant glaciers left behind such a picturesque landscape. But there are particularly poetic places in this region, which fascinates the traveler with its harsh, lyrical, and cheerful landscapes.
And perhaps the most impressive of them is the Kivach Waterfall, the second largest plain waterfall in Europe (after the Rhine).
The waterfall is incredibly beautiful and majestic.
The waters of the Suna River, compressed by basalt rocks, fall down from an eight-meter height in a heavy cast stream, forming a powerful whirlpool in wisps of foam and creating an impressive noise.
Kivach Waterfall was admired by the first governor of the Olonets Region (as Karelia used to be called), the great Russian poet Gavrila Derzhavin. "A mountain of diamonds is falling..." he wrote.
Indeed, the falling water and its power are fascinating. Everyone should see this.
Return to Petrozavodsk.
