The journey begins in Petrozavodsk, where you need to get to on your own on the first day of the program. We recommend purchasing tickets for train No. 018A upon arrival from Moscow.
After meeting at the Petrozavodsk railway station, you will have breakfast in a cafe.
Transfer to the starting point of the rafting trip – to the Ignoilskaya HPP dam (130 km from Petrozavodsk).
Lunch in the field, preparation of equipment for going out on the river. Before the start, you will receive a safety briefing and pick up equipment: a life jacket, helmet, paddles, and a neoprene suit (for an additional fee). General and personal items will be packed in waterproof bags.
Rafting on the Shuya River: Ignolskaya HPP – port. Kenyakoski (3-4 K.S.) – por. Valoine (1-2 c.s.) – por. Sarikoski (1-2 c.s.) – por. Kumio (2-3 villages), 15 km.
Shuya is one of the longest and largest rivers of the Republic of Karelia. The river has a frequently changing mood: sometimes calm, sometimes harsh, which especially attracts tourists. Due to the fact that Shuya is surrounded by peat bogs, the waters of the river are colored in a dark tea color. The river itself is friendly to beginners and children, the rapids here range from simple to complex.
The most difficult thresholds that you will pass today are the Kenyakoski and Kumio thresholds.
The instructor decides whether to pass or carry the Kenyakoski and Kumio thresholds, depending on the overall readiness of the group and the water level.
Kenyakoski threshold (3-4 km.) – from the Karelian language "black threshold", and all because the water seems black because of the rocks coming to the surface.
A snack will be arranged for you on the way.
In the evening, you will take part in setting up a camp and cooking dinner, and the instructors will conduct a master class on cooking Karelian trout for you.
Supper. Free time at the camp: you can gather in a group around the campfire, play traditional hiking games, and share your impressions of the hike.
Overnight in the field.
