Sightseeing in this area is available throughout the year.

Russian “banya” (bath)
Russian bath, or “banya”, is an ancient Russian pastime, still very popular among Russians. It involves “sweating” in a steam room and being hit with birch twigs, then cooling yourself down in a lake or in the snow. Though it sounds extreme, when done properly “banya” is an unforgettable experience, both healthy and pleasant. “Banya” is also a word for a building where the procedure is done. We offer our guests authentic wooden banyas built in accordance to Russian traditions.
Fishing
Fishing is available in Russia throughout the year, lakes and rivers of Karelia are full of different kinds of fish. You can come with your own fishrods and gear, or you can rent equipment with us. You can ask for a fishing guide as well – he will come with you on your fishing trip and give you valuable tips or teach you how to fish if necessary. Fishing can be a relaxing experience if you do it alone, or can become a interesting and fascinating pastime if you go with your friends.
