Segezha webcam opens a view of the pedestrian crossing near the city clinic.
Thanks to the broadcast in real time, you can monitor the situation on the road and possible traffic violations. Also, the device allows you to enjoy a virtual walk through a distant city.
Segezha webcams, which you can watch online on this site, make it possible to take a closer look at this small Karelian town with quiet, little busy streets.
The unhurried rhythm typical of the Russian hinterland and a lot of rather dilapidated buildings seems to take you back to the 90s, and partly even to the pre-war years of the last century.
The railway, passing through the whole city, symbolically divides it into two parts. They could be called new and old - the external difference is just that. In the more modern part, five-story houses, shops, schools are the usual infrastructure of any residential area.
In the old part there is a city-forming enterprise - a huge pulp and paper mill. Once, thanks to him, Segezha turned from a railway station into the second largest city in the Republic of Karelia by the number of inhabitants.
Also in this old part, a small bakery and several other food industry enterprises were built.
If you watch Segezha webcams online, you can see the special layout of the industrial area.
All central streets, one way or another, go to the entrance of the main plant, clearly demonstrating its importance. The plant provides jobs for most of the population, for this reason Segezha is included in the list of single-industry towns.
Most of the buildings in this part of the city are of pre-war construction,
preserved wooden two-story barracks and buildings with carved windows and bizarre roofs. Ancient iron fences and rare signs on buildings remind of a bygone era.
The new part of the city has preserved the Soviet infrastructure: public transport and a relatively new railway station are in operation. The city cinema has been restored.
Tourists rarely come to Segezha due to the lack of significant sights. The city is more used as a transit for people traveling in Karelia.
The program for the reconstruction of Segezha, launched in 2022, has already yielded noticeable results. The city beach of Lindozero is ennobled with imported clean sand, sports and playgrounds have been installed. The pride of Segezha - the Palace of Culture and Sports is also included in the reconstruction plan.
If it is not possible to visit the city, you can watch Segezha webcams online right from home.
