The forests and lakes of Karelia made this corner of the Earth famous all over the world. But this republic is known not only for its natural beauties. This is confirmed by the city of Sortavala, whose webcams can be viewed online on this page.
Until 1940, Sortavala belonged to Finland. For this reason, here you can see buildings unusual for Soviet and Russian architecture. They were built according to the designs of famous Finnish architects over a century ago and are architectural monuments and local attractions that harmoniously fit into the natural landscape.
One of the most beautiful locations in the city is the city park Vakkosalmi.
This place will delight you with stunning landscapes and cozy corners where you can relax from everyday hustle and bustle and take amazing photos.
Vakkosalmi Park was founded about 150 years ago. And it was a favorite place for walks of the local intelligentsia. Today, important holidays and events in the life of the city are held here. Newlyweds and families with children come here for walks and photo sessions.
Love Vakkosalmi and athletes. Indeed, on the territory of the park there are tracks for playing skittles, a tennis court, sports grounds with outdoor exercise equipment and bars, as well as ski slopes.
The main attraction of the park is Mount Kuhavuori, which even an unprepared traveler can conquer. Here are the ruins of a water tower, as well as a sculpture of an Angel.
The former women's gymnasium has an interesting architectural appearance. It was opened in Sortavala at the beginning of the 20th century and has changed many statuses over its history. In some years the building was used as a branch of Petrozavodsk University, in others - as a boarding school.
The building was erected in a pseudo-Gothic style, which distinguishes it from neighboring buildings. Today the object is empty. But they plan to restore it and open a museum within its walls.
