The web camera online broadcasts a view of Lenin Street in the city of Lahdenpohya. The hard-to-pronounce name Lahdenpohya translates from Finnish as "the edge of the bay." The city is really located on the shores of the Yakimvar Bay of Ladoga Lake. This is one of Karelia's most picturesque places. People come here to admire the schers.
The Lahdenpoh district is located in the far southwest of Karelia. It stretches along the coast of Ladoga Lake with a narrow strip of about 100 km and a width of 40 km. Being 150 km from St. Petersburg and 40 km from Finland, these places have become a recreation area for residents of neighboring regions. It has a population of only 16,000 people - it is the smallest area of Karelia. The capital of the district, Lahdenpohya, is located at the mouth of the Aurayoka River, which flows into Ladoga.
The main natural heritage of these places is the Ladoga Lake with picturesque schirs - island archipelagos separated by narrow straits. It is dominated by rocky landscapes, but you can also find moraine formations, as well as sandy and pebble beaches. Here come to rest, fishing, for mushrooms and berries. For fishermen of interest is the Kokolanjoka River, which is the only river on the northwest coast of Ladoga, where a large number of salmon are found.
Lahdenpohya is home to Karelia's largest physical and recreational complex with a universal gaming hall. The city is convenient to get to the Valaam archipelago - the trip takes only one hour. Due to its proximity to the border, many of the surrounding villages in the area have retained Finnish names. Frequent guests here are the so-called "nostalgic" tourists from Finland - many Finns in these places had ancestral farms. Now they are mostly foundations, but the Finns come to honor the memory of their ancestors.
