I wouldn't write another enthusiastic review but would rather mention a couple of moments that might be useful for newcomers to take account of. Me and my wife visited the place during our Lena cruise and would definitely return time and again if it were possible. Still, since there are so many places to see on Planet Earth, we'd hardly repeat it in future. Anyhow, we enjoyed every moment of our stay there - the climb, the summit, the views, voodoos, etc., etc., etc. Still, for those who plan to visit this fabulous miracle of Mother Nature the following remarks might be instrumental: 1. Mosquito headnet. Repellents do scare mosquitos away but they are helpless against gnat. Therefore, to have such net at least in your backpack would be a good idea. Summers may be quite hot in Yakutia so you may feel like in a sauna with such a "hat" on but at least you'd have a choice - to fight stuffiness or to suffer from these omnipresent tiny devils. 2. Start your climbing either to be the very first on top or - preferably - the very last. The area up there is not very large so do bear in mind that you may easily find yourself like in a subway car in rush-hours and nice photo opportunities may be scarce. The flip side of it may be that you might lose a chance to take part in a voodoo rituals organizers stage right after landing but, again, it's your choice. 3. Please be VERY cautious when on top. It may be slippery there even in dry weather, wooden railings are not the most reliable in the world - to say the least - no guards on duty are available and stunning panoramas may take your breath - and mind - away so an accident is something one must not forget about. Moreover, people behave there rather wildly, fighting for an optimal place to take pictures and selfies and all this only aggravates the situation. (This is another reason to come there either the first or the last.) Nevertheless, if you follow these simple rules you'll be absolutely awestruck by the place. And safe. As we were.

Karjala Park is a fundamentally new phenomenon in the Russia tourist market. It is a country hotel, tourist facilities and an adventure holiday center for the most discerning customers. It is a group of the high level professionals who are truly in love with Karelia and ready to share their love with every guest.

Unfortunately when we came here there was not enough snow for husky sledding but the great hospitality of the people more then made up for it. The kennel tour and the food was great. We also made a nice walk through the forest.

The embankment was renovated several years ago and became a really nice place for evening promenade. Well lightened all the way and having a nice peaceful sea view. It also perfectly fits for jogging or cycling cause it has is a separated cycle pavement. Cycle or electro kick scooter could be rented in place.
