Beautiful Russia

Maybe in Russia power is not good, but we should not forget how beautiful it is!

It was founded in 1241 by Alexander Nevsky after the victorious battle with the Swedes in the Battle of the Neva at the mouth of the river Izhora

But in Russia there are so many beautiful places. Mountains and steppes, lakes and volcanoes, ice deserts and sunny beaches. Monuments and modern architecture, wildlife sanctuaries and UNESCO World Heritage sites. At any time of year in Russia there is much to go and enjoy excellent views.

And today I will tell you about Karelia. On Lake Land

The territory of Karelia has absorbed tens of thousands of these reservoirs. And how many rivers there are. And did you know that in Karelia there are the largest lakes in the whole of Europe? Yes, yes ... And one of them is Lake Ladoga, which will be discussed today. On the territory of Ladoga Lake there are many islands and islets. Also, this lake is connected with another large lake, called Onego. These two ponds are connected by a river. What can be seen in the photo in the article.

The waters of Ladoga are considered to be among the most fresh. All minerals are contained therein in minimum quantities.

And what a clean air on Lake Ladoga! It's all in the coniferous forests on the banks. They create an indescribable fragrance. This air is very useful for the lungs, it cleans the airways very well. Many tourists, hitting in these forests, in the first hours of their holiday complain of slight dizziness. People are so used to breathe the smog of big cities, that for the organism to become very unaccustomed to the oxygen of this place.
