For your attention an online webcam overlooking the Medvezhyegorsk Railway Station Square. The history of Medvezhyegorsk is not replete with joyful details, but we must accept it and this is how the city is developing now, even a ski base has been opened here. And the surrounding nature - islands, forests, Lake Onega - have always been distinguished by their special beauty.
Medvezhyegorsk was founded by the breeder Zakhariev, who at the end of the 18th century founded sawmills and a logging factory here. Many bears wandered through the dense thickets, one of which - a bear cub - was caught and given to the family of the activist for entertainment. The bear cub lived well until he, not calculating the strength, crushed one of the workers to death. Zakhariev, reluctantly, had to shoot him. They buried their favorite on a sandy hill, which is called Bear Mountain. The railway station built here later took on the apt name.
It will be interesting to combine a trip to Medvezhyegorsk and a tour of Petrozavodsk (and, of course, the Kizhi Islands) and Kondopoga. Medvezhya Gora turned into a city during the First World War thanks to the construction of a railway in these places connecting the Barents Sea and St. Petersburg. In the 30s of the XX century, the formation of Medvezhyegorsk continued: the famous White Sea-Baltic Canal, better known as the White Sea Canal, passed through it.
Now Medvezhyegorsk is a quiet, cozy town on the shores of Lake Onega, there is something to see and where to go.
