* What awaits you The boat, which can accommodate 6-8 people, will be operated by a captain who has been trained and has a driving license. Before the trip, he will give you a safety briefing and issue vests (there are all sizes, including children's ones). The walk will bring vivid impressions and beautiful landscapes of Ladoga. Unbroken views On the way, you will visit an island with Ladoga seals, stop at a beach with white sand. And having moored to the lighthouse (its height at the highest point is 26 meters), climb it — and you will see completely new panoramas of boundless Ladoga. Immersion in history (in the format of a guided tour) If your company wishes to travel with a guide, you will learn about the Finnish heritage of the region along the way. On one of the largest islands of Lake Ladoga, you will be told about the times when life was in full swing here, houses stood and fields were cultivated by its previous inhabitants. They will show the remaining traces of the era. You will also hear about the period of the Winter War, when Mantsinsaari Island served as a defensive point. You will see the bunker, the locations of howitzers and a memorial plaque erected by the Finns in memory of those who died in the battles for the defense of the territory. In addition, you will get acquainted with the rich fauna of the island, where lynxes and wild boars, foxes, hares, moose and bears live. Organizational details Get to the village of Uuksu at the address of the Guest complex 17 Plavnaya St. An optional tour will cost 5,000 rubles/group. There is no pier on the island, so you will have to take off your shoes to get off the boat on the island, and then put them on again. The boat does not go in a storm, so you need to take into account the weather conditions, which may cause the trip to be canceled.
