Tours to Karelia

Karelia is called the lungs of Europe: half of the region is covered with forests, and about 40% of the territory is occupied by lakes, rivers, and bogs. Only 10% of the land is reserved for people.

Karelia is home to the largest European lake, Ladoga. A truly cosmic body of water, Janisjarvi Lake, is located here as well. It was formed in a crater after a meteorite's fall. 

The oldest volcano on the planet, Girvas, is located near Petrozavodsk. The last time it erupted was 2 billion years ago. The Valaam Monastery is home to the world's only apple orchard near the Arctic Circle.
