Autumn is a time of contrasts. And contrasts occur not only in the weather and natural phenomena, but also in the human soul. A positive mood gives way to a bad one and vice versa. It’s bad to live in the sad, depressive tones that prevail in people’s lives in the fall. But how to get rid of melancholy - outside the window there is rain, slush, and even the first snow is trying to establish itself? Fortunately, there is a way out! The beneficial effects of a change of environment have long been noticed and are recommended even by doctors. Try going to a sanatorium or holiday home in November. Then you can receive treatment and improve your vitality. Russians have the opportunity to go on vacation in early November, during the celebration of National Unity Day. The question arises: “Where to go for a short weekend?” The "Resort Store" company offers vouchers to tourist accommodation in Karelia.

Favorite Karelia - tourist opportunities

Karelia is a fickle “girl”. We mean climate. The large extent of its territory affects it, smoothly flowing from maritime to continental. Weather may vary in different areas. The air warms up to plus three degrees in some places. Although frosts down to minus four degrees Celsius are also possible in some places.

It's nice to wander through the pine forest at this time. The air is oversaturated with oxygen, and precipitation is quite rare. In November in Karelia, daylight hours last for seven hours; darkness reigns the rest of the day. Seven hours is quite enough to sit happily with a fishing rod on the shore of one of the many reservoirs in the region. Go on excursions, there is a lot to see in Karelia, these are natural attractions and many historical monuments. The Ruskeala resort, founded by Tsar Peter, is worth a lot!

Pleasure is taking a boat ride on an autumn river. Land at the shore in a cozy bay and cast your fishing rods or spinning rod. And what a hunt in these forests! The local game is not very scared and comes out to meet the hunter on its own.

Horse lovers are offered trips to a stud farm, where they can admire thoroughbred trotters and ride them for a reasonable fee. There you will find a story about caring for noble animals. A very interesting story, narrated by an experienced breeder. You will learn how to feed, wash, groom and groom horses. Dog sled racing and many other exciting things await you.

Leisure is usefully spent in the following establishments of the "Golden Assortment" of the Kurmag company: Hotel "Welt", Cottage "Ecoset", Hotel "Masks", Country Club"Denisov Mys", Guest House "Martial Keys", etc. The guest house is located near the city of Petrozavodsk, on the coast of a small but very clean forest lake. A couple of kilometers from this place are the famous Martial springs. Spring water very useful and recommended by doctors for use in diseases of the stomach, liver, and musculoskeletal system.

The Denisov Mys Country Club is a place specially created by God to restore vitality and health to people. It was built on the coast of Syamozero, famous for its fish stocks. It contains different types of fish. Pike, bream, perch and many other species.
