Rest in Karelia On May Holidays

May holidays are the best time to participate in the water tour in Karelia. It is in May here there is an active melting of the snows, which makes local rivers full of water, swift and incredibly attractive for fans of alloys. To miss this time for fans of rafting or rafting on catamarans is tantamount to losing the whole year. For several decades, rest in Karelia in the spring was a cherished dream for true water-craftsmen who risked the rapids on kayaks. Today, alloys in Karelia are available to tourists without previous experience due to new safer vessels for rafting. In the arsenal of travel agencies offering tours for the May holidays in Russia, there are a number of routes along the Karelian rivers of varying duration and complexity. Beginners are invited to the May rafting along the Shuya River, experienced water experts - according to Uks, and extremals are called to Tohmajoki.
The river Uksa, or the Karelian manners of Uksunjoki, originating at an altitude of more than 177 meters from Lake Kuikkajärvi, with the beginning of snow melting turns into a real beast, escaped from a cramped cell. The river is popular with water tourists because of the many rapids. The Pink Elephant, the Mill, the Hramina and the Canyon are called by the name of the thresholds for several times to evoke a powerful stream of memories. A dynamic gambling route in Uks gives tourists who have chosen a holiday in Karelia a real adrenaline rush and vivid impressions.
For those who are accustomed to rest with the whole family, the Shuya River is suitable for beginners and for organizing corporate leisure. If you are not an athlete, but want to receive a positive charge of energy and drive from outdoor activities, it is Shuya that is better suited for rafting than other Karelian rivers due to transport accessibility and moderate complexity. Often rafting along the Shuya River is an integral part of the combined May tours, which combine such types of outdoor activities as rafting, quad biking and climbing.
The Tohmajoki River flowing through the Northern Ladoga area, at its length of fifty kilometers, has a total drop in water level of about 70 meters, with a significant part of this fall falling on the plums of destroyed dams and waterfalls. You can walk the whole river in 3-4 days, which in combination with relative proximity to the northern capital - St. Petersburg - makes Tohmajoki one of the most popular rivers in Karelia for the implementation of spring alloys. Extreme tours to the river organized by local tour agencies are alloys on catamarans from the village of Matkaselka to the village of Helulya, diluted by an excursion program: a visit to the Ruskeala mountain park, a monument to the history of Russian mining around the picturesque marble canyon. Another attraction on the route is the Ruskeal waterfalls, which are known to many thanks to the popular Soviet film "A Dawns Here Are Quiet" released in 1972.
The rafting in Karelia is an opportunity to test yourself for strength and try your hand at passing a turbulent spring river in the company of the same enthusiasts and active rest lovers. Only a few days will be spent on rest in Karelia in May holidays, and how rich, useful and interesting they will seem!
