Ruskeala Mountain Park | Karelia, Russia
Once we travelled on a sea ferry by Baltic Sea and visited 4 famous Northern capitals. Our journey was started from the Norther Russian Capital - Saint Petersburg.
Forth stop of our ferry was in the fabulous city – Saint Petersburg, which is located in Russia.
Saint Petersburg is Russia's second-largest city after Moscow, with 5 million. An important Russian port on the Baltic Sea, it has a status of a federal subject (a federal city).
The Ruskeala Mountain Park is a tourist complex located in the Sortavalsky district of the Republic of Karelia. A former marble quarry filled with groundwater is the basis of the complex, its cultural heritage object, and a historical monument.
During our trip to Ruskeala, we had been visited a several very interesting places.We drove through the historic fortresses, very beautiful waterfalls, and also visited the plant, where traditional local tinctures are producing.
The Mountain Park Ruskeala is very beautiful and interesting. Once it was a large marble quarry, in which marble began to be mined in 1765. The marble, mined in Ruskeala’s quarry, was used in building of significant constructions in St. Petersburg: St. Isaac’s Cathedral, Kazan Cathedral, Hermitage, Marble Palace, Mikhailovsky Castle, as well as in the building of some metro stations.
Today, the mountain park Ruskeala is one of the most significant sights of Karelia. Walking the park, we saw water filled quarries, caves and an old marble factory.
It was a beautiful day in Ruskeala Mountain Park, in the North-West region of Russia – in Karelia.
The visit of Karelia was very interesting and cognitive.
This is the end of our fascinating journey through the northern capitals of the Baltic, during which we had visited Saint Petersburg, Helsinki, Stockholm and Tallinn.

More information about the video content bellow:
1. The Republic of Karelia is a federal subject of Russia (a republic), located in the northwest of Russia.
2. Eastern Karelia has been a part of Russia since 1323. Western Karelia was obtained by Peter I (the Great) from Sweden by treaty in 1721, and the area was administratively reunited with the grand duchy of Finland in the 19th century when Russia obtained suzerainty over all Finland. Following the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the proclamation of Finnish independence, a 1920 peace treaty left eastern Karelia in Soviet hands and awarded western Karelia to Finland. Western Karelia was annexed by the Union of Soviet Socialist Republics after the latter’s victory in the Russo-Finnish War (1939–40), however. After a 1947 peace treaty between the Soviets and Finland confirmed the annexation, almost the entire Finnish population of western Karelia moved into Finland.
3. As a part of the Fennoscandian Shield's ancient Karelian craton, most of the Republic of Karelia's surficial geology is Archaean or Paleoproterozoic, dated up to 3.4 billion years in the Vodlozero block. This area is the largest contiguous Archaean outcrop in Europe and one of the largest in the world.
4. According to the 2010 Census, ethnic Russians make up 82.2% of the republic's population, ethnic Karelians 7.4%. Other groups include Belarusians (3.8%), Ukrainians (2%), Finns (1.4%), Vepsians (0.5%), and a host of smaller groups, each accounting for less than 0.5% of the total population. Currently Russian is the only official language of the republic. Karelian, Veps, and Finnish are officially recognized languages of the republic since 2004, and their survival is promoted.
5. Petrozavodsk is the only city in Russia which was named after the emperor Peter I. The name of Petrozavodsk, the capital of the Karelian Republic, consists of two words, “Petro” (Peter) and “zavod” (rus. factory). This refers to the history of the first settlement which appeared in 1703 during the construction of a weapons factory which was decreed by Peter’s I, so the armory was soon named after him. Petrozavodskaya Sloboda, the settlement itself, was founded by another decree as a place of residence for all the factory workers. The weapons manufactured at this factory were used by soldiers during the Great Northern War (1700-1721) between the Tsardom of Russia and the Swedish Empire.
6. Karelian Ladoga is the largest lake in Europe. Ladozhskoye lake or Ladoga is a freshwater lake which is 136 miles in length and 86 miles wide. At least 40 rivers flow into Ladoga. It also drains into the Gulf of Finland via the Neva River. It is the largest lake in Europe and the 15th largest freshwater lake on the planet. Karelia has a huge number of lakes (about 18% of all waterbodies) on its territory. It outstrips countries like Finland, Sweden and Canada which only have 8 to 15%. There are more than 60,000 lakes in Karelia, and most of them are more than a hectare in size. The sum of their areas across the region is 145 kms3. That makes Karelia an absolute leader with the biggest coefficient of lakes in the world.
7. Several thousand petroglyphs, the cave paintings left by the ancient Sami people, can be found around Karelia today. The drawings on cave walls and ceilings, mostly of birds, wild animals, humans and boats, are 2,000 years older than the Egyptian pyramids and 4,000 years older than The Coliseum in Rome. The Sami are indigenous people of Scandinavia which today inhabit such countries as Norway, Finland, Sweden and Russia.

Russia: Republic of Karelia.
This was filmed between 3th and 6th May 2015. I had the pleasure of visiting Karelia.
The Republic of Karelia is one of the subjects of the Russian Federation. Karelia is located entirely in the northern part of Europe on the border with Finland. This is a special world of the northern edge of Russia with clear water, bright sky and silence, broken only by the sounds of nature. Also Karelia is considered to be the land of rivers and lakes - this area has about 60 thousand lakes and 27 thousand rivers. The largest of the lakes are Ladoga and Onega.
We’ve traveled over 2,500 km. During those days i've been shooting this film and I shot 10,000 images.
