32 days in Republic of Karelia Itinerary

Petrozavodsk is the capital city of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, which stretches along the western shore of Lake Onega for some 27km. Explore hidden gems such as Karjala Park and National Museum of the Republic of Karelia. Escape the urban bustle at Vodlozero National Park and Threshold Large Tolly. Venture out of the city with trips to Vepsians Ethnographic Museum (in Sheltozero), Ancient volcano Girvas (in Hirvas) and Onega petroglyphs (in Pudozh). There's lots more to do: pause for some serene contemplation at Alexander Nevskiy Cathedral, make a trip to Small Country Lyubov Malinovskaya's Creative Center, head outdoors with Chelmuzhskaya Bar, and examine the collection at Industrial History Gallery.
