Wottovara

If you want to see Karelia from a new angle, here you go! A bonus is a visit to the ancient volcano Girvas Vottovaara - the most famous mountain of our region, but not all locals have visited it. Getting there is hard, but getting lost is easy. “The mountain does not let go,” said those who wandered through it. Why go there? For unusual landscapes and mysterious stories! The mountain is about 500 meters high, but its landscape is unusual. Huge boulders grow out of nowhere, the trees wriggle bizarrely, but most of all surprise seids – stone pyramids that man cannot create. They are hundreds of years old, but their origin is still hotly debated. Among the options for their origin are the places of rites of the ancient Sami, the construction of extraplanetary forces or the result of the descent of the glacier. We are ready to exchange views with you! We get to the mountain by car, camp at its foot and climb the mountain lightly. Taking into account the road, the optimal time for a hike is 3 days, but there is a tour for 2 days: On the way back, we stop at Girvas – one of the oldest volcanic craters, which has survived to this day. Its age is 2-3 billion years.
