On Popovsky Lake, we try rowing and go out through the channel into Lake Lovozero

A place shrouded in mystery

We will climb Mount Ninchurt and see the Lovozero tundra, shrouded in mystical legends

Itinerary

Day 1 - Popov Lake and rowing
Our journey begins in Murmansk. We leave at 09:00. On the way, we stop at Olenegorsk (if the group is joined at the Olenegorsk railway station).
Then we move to the village of Lovozera and unload at the starting point — Popovskoye Lake. Here we change clothes, pack our things, go through the briefing, have lunch along the way and set off on our way.
On Popovsky Lake, we try to row, adjust everything that causes discomfort and go out through the channel into Lake Lovozero. Today we will walk about 10 km.
We get up to camp, relax, have dinner, get acquainted.

Day 2 - Skeins and camping
In the morning we have breakfast, break camp and walk along the Lake for about 20 km. Sometimes there are significant waves and headwinds on such a large lake, so the transition may not be easy.
Our goal is a Skein: here the Seidyavrok River flows from the Seidozer into Lovozero, and several kilometers of land separates us from the Seidozer itself.
We set up camp, have dinner, and prepare for tomorrow's hiking trip to the Seidozer and Lovozersk tundra.
This is the territory of a specially protected natural area, and we behave accordingly!

Day 3 - Ninchurt Mountain
We have breakfast at the camp and go to Mount Ninchurt — its height is 786 meters.
The name of the hill comes from the Sami words ninch (female breasts) and urt (mountain range). The mountain offers breathtaking views of the surrounding natural landscapes.
The slopes of the Ninchurt Mountain gorge seem to be made of blocks of regular rectangular shape. It seems to many that nature could not create such forms on its own, and, apparently, that is why the Lovozero tundra is shrouded in so many mystical legends.
However, these stones are of natural origin, and we will enjoy their shapes and views from the top.
We'll have lunch on the mountain and head back to the camp.

Day 4 - Kuiva and the Elmorayok River
We have breakfast at the camp and set off on foot along the northern part of the Seidozer coast along the trail to a place with a view of the rock with the image of Kuiva — this is an image of a giant 74 meters high. According to the legends of the local indigenous Sami people, he once lived in the Lovozero tundra.
We will go to the Elmorayok River, which flows from the pass of the same name and flows into the Seydozero. The water in this river has a "magical" turquoise color.
We will return to the camp in the evening. We will walk about 20 km on this day.

We have breakfast and walk about 15 km to Popovsky Lake, where we started our journey.
