Try yourself. Family backpacking trip to Orekhovo (Leningrad region)

The best way to spend a weekend with the whole family is to go camping for the weekend!

The child has grown up, and you want something more from a weekend hike? Tired of the comfort of a country vacation, and do you dream of plunging into real adventures at least for a moment? We have been planning to go to the "week pawn" with the whole family for a long time, but are there any doubts? Then this hike is for you!

We invite you to a mini-version of this hike with "transitions under a backpack", overnight in a tent and eating at a campfire. Our best instructors will guide adventurers along forest trails past mysterious rocks, refreshing and inviting lakes. We will cross a stream or a small ravine together, because it is so important to feel these small victories!

Itinerary

  • Day 1 - Active adventures await!

    We will meet early in the morning at the Finlandsky train station in the center of the hall. We get acquainted with the instructors and the group, buy tickets to Orekhovo, do not be late for the train and hit the road.

    On the way, we play different games, chat, repack our backpacks, distribute modules and enjoy the train ride. Upon arrival at the station, we recalculate, look at the map and hit the road!

    On the way, we make small stops, check the map, have a snack. We will walk about 7-10 km, make lunch and set up a tent camp on the shore of a picturesque lake.

    After that, we will go in search of the buried treasure according to the tips and the map that the previous group left us!

    In the evening, we will have a delicious dinner, compote, sincere conversations of people close in spirit, campfire songs, legends, a fairy tale and all-consuming dreams.
