GoOur address: Saint Petersburg, Vosstaniya St. 1
This is a place where nature itself has allied with history, creating a landscape of unearthly beauty. The heart of Karelia — the Ruskeala mountain park — welcomes guests with the emerald surface of the Marble Canyon, framed by snow-white cliffs. Once, stone was quarried here in the mountain's depths for St. Isaac's Cathedral and the Hermitage, and now these adits and mines hold only the echo of past centuries.
You will walk along scenic trails beside sheer cliffs, peering from observation decks into the mysterious depths of clear waters. Descend into the underground part of Ruskeala to see mysterious grottoes and the Great Column Hall, illuminated by soft light. Here, in the silence of marble caves, time seems to stand still, allowing you to touch the ancient history of these places. And just three kilometers from the park, the Ruskeala waterfalls of Ahvenkoski roar — the very ones that remember the filming of the movie «The Dawns Here Are Quiet».
In autumn, the cliffs blaze with gold; in winter, the canyon turns into an ice palace with hundreds of sparkling icicles. In spring, the air is filled with the freshness of awakening, and in summer, symphony concerts are held here right under the open sky. Each season gives this place a new, unique charm. Let the harsh and beautiful Karelian nature tell you its most beautiful legend.
