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.
Sampo Mountain climb.
Mount Sampo is a rocky ridge that was formed during the movement of a glacier thousands of years ago. Its height is about 40 m.
