Attract shhery Priladozhja.
- Kareliya will long dream... "Words of a popular song
Are correct enough. Hardly - peaked fur-trees of an eyelash over
Blue eyes of lakes "can leave indifferent the one who though
Time would visit Kareliya.
Northern Priladozhe owing to the unique geographical
Position and the frontier status, and also because of the available
Here a perfect environment for rest, historical,
Cultural and architectural monuments involves set of visitors
From Russia and from abroad: businessmen, scientific, people creative
Trades and it is simple tourists. Last year Sortavala has visited
About 30 thousand persons, about the same quantity has visited on
Island Valaam.
"Savages".
Often enough in the passenger trains following to Sortavala
From Petrozavodsk or St.-Petersburg, it is possible to meet
Small groups of tourists of 3-4 persons with the volume
The backpacks up to the top filled by the foodstuffs, fishing
Tackles, with tents and the other attributes necessary for
Lives in a natural environment, far from the blessings
Civilisations. It - - savages ". Usually they leave on
Railway station, go deep into wood and set up camp on
To coast of a small reservoir. Enjoy bathing, fishing and
Songs under a guitar at a fire. More often it pitertsy, visitors
To have a rest in Priladozhe on days off, which one-two days
Dialogue with the nature quite suffices to be recharged by energy
The next labour week. This kind of rest and beauty of the local
Woods and lakes involve not only inhabitants of nearby areas.
The native of Monchegorsk of Murmansk area Marina Ivanov with 1988
Year practically each summer holiday spends in Sortavala.
- Earlier preferred, - Marina tells, - to have a rest if
Not on the sea, then in warm edges - in sanatoria and
Boarding houses in which there are all conditions for the normal
The residing, the convenient habitation, the organised food and services
Service. In the late eighties in Gagrah has met a family
sortavaltsev, they have invited me to themselves. Has arrived, has looked round
And... Was ill with Kareliya seriously and for a long time. Friends to me have organised
Week rest on Ladoga, on a small islet. Has understood, that
Short-term holiday in tent costs the monthly
Pastimes on the Black Sea resort. Now I come in
Sortavala regularly. Tent, a sleeping bag I leave at acquaintances,
For precisely I know, that I will return here once again.
I try to incline to rest in Kareliya children, but yet
It turns out - they like comfort, than tea at a fire more.
Tent holidays possess one very important feature -
Allow to have a rest and gain strength well at rather
Small material inputs.
Rest - the savage "does not demand from tourists of the considerable financial
Expenses for acquisition of expensive permits. However very often same
The tourists cause a huge loss to environment barbarous
Hunting, fishing or it is simple on imprudence, setting fire to woods.
Agree at least on paradise in a tent...
As affairs with creation of comprehensible conditions of a life are for
Organised having a rest and the businessmen coming to Sortavala
On the affairs? For normal reception domestic and foreign
Visitors even in such small town are necessary the branched out network
Hotels and public catering establishments.
For the last years quantity of hotel places here
Has grown several times. If earlier coming to Sortavala
Visitors were content with the one and only hotel in a city
"Ladoga", simultaneously able to accept no more than 100 persons,
Today number of berths in again created hotels
Has reached 500. The Degree of service and conditions of residing at them on
To recognition of a management of local administration leave to wish
The best. However and available hotels does not suffice: all places on
Forthcoming summer season are already reserved.
Heads of the city mayoralty have plans for development
Hotel complex in Sortavala. There are reconstruction projects
Aforementioned hotel - Ladoga ", is considered a variant
Hotel buildings in settlement Ruskeala with the assistance of firm from
St.-Petersburg, the idea of a construction of hotel is born on
To coast of a gulf of Ladoga under the project of the Finnish architects.
It is a lot of ideas, but on all money which while are not present are necessary. Recently
As an alternative variant in sortavalskoj administrations
The project brought by the Petersburg enterprise - Riflaj "was considered,
Which suggests to use the passenger as hotel
Vessel. The question while definitively is not solved.
On responses of many citizens who have visited Sortavala, a city,
Despite its attractive and rather original external
The kind, pushes away neuhozhennostju, a dirt abundance in streets.
Routes, routes...
Recently in the Finnish city of Tohmajarvi there has passed a joint seminar
On development of natural tourism in Priladozhe in which accepted
Participation employees sortavalskoj city administration and them
Colleagues from Suomi. Opening new was one of seminar questions
The Finnish-Russian water route - lake Janisjarvi - the river
Inisoki - Ladoga "in the extent about hundred kilometres. A route
Starts to operate in June of this year, on it is perfectly in order
Experiment already there passed businessmen and journalists.
Nowadays in Sortavala ten enterprises, rendering work
Services in tourism sphere. In the end of last year on the basis of a museum
Northern Priladozhja and the city welfare centre
Youth the municipal enterprise - Regional is created
The muzejno-tourist centre Northern Priladozhja ". The core
Direction on which recently created firm works, -
