Paanavi. - One of the most beautiful national parks of Russia. The value of this area is exceptional. There are forests, soaked in the spirit of unaccompanied wind, mountains and swamps, here - rocks and valleys. In Panaarvi, you can still see the nature in its true magnificence. That which it was created. The local air is air purity and freedom. Every breath - fills life. Each look at Panaarvi - refreshes thoughts.

On the map of Karelia Park looks like a big and very green stain. Park is located in one of the most "wild" and non-touched areas of the republic -Looksky. The western border of the park coincides with the Russian-Finnish border, to which the National Park Oulanka is adjacent to the neighboring state. Paanairvi Square (Whose name, by the way, is translated from Finnish as a "lake path") - 104473 hectares. Three quarters of the entire area covered with forest.

What to see?

Watch in Paanairvi can only be nature. There is not a single park in the park settlement. But there is, as we said - forests. Not usual view of the citizen, but carefully saved. They are especially good in autumn. On the strict greens of pines and fir trees - Gold Berez and Bagry Osin. Some pines in the park - 600 years old!

Due to the fact that the forest in Panaarvi is preserved in a constant, true form, in the park you can see all the inhabitants of Taiga - Brown bears and wolves, Wolverines of soft-headed beauties, fiery-red foxes and Belyakov Zaitsev. And all sorts of forest "trifle" - kunitsa, earthling, lasoms, protein, Gornostayev. Very frequent meetings with Canadian widers. If you are lucky - you will see the reindeer.

Birds - About 150 species. From the synefork to the Swan-Clikunov, gray cranes and Orlans, Berkuts and Stop. All these birds do not bring neighborhoods with cities. Therefore, to see them is a big luck for a modern resident of the megapolis.

Pearl Park is considered a parasarvi lake, giving the name of the entire protected area. A river with a difficult-acting name of Oulancayoki flows in the pond, as well as other rivers - Jobs, Miartyoki, Astervoyoki and Malinaioki. Another significant water artery fleet - river Olanga. In the early 60s of the last century, after the construction of the dams of the Kum's hydroelectric station, Olanga flooded the village of Olangasuu. Trees that grew along the banks of the river were under water. And so far they are visible - serene and dead. On Olange Same located the largest unregulated threshold in Karelia - Kivakkakoski.

Height - 12 meters, do not miss it exactly - the noise of water rolling on the stones is heard for kilometers.

However, the fuses of the meatukoski, the Sleepy stones of this Paduna caress white water jets like silk ribbons. Not hurried, not loud, but a very delicate waterfall (if the waterfall can be delicate at all). Be sure to visit if the opportunity is given.

Total on the river - 13 thresholds, which alternate with such charming splas that you want to stay near one of them.

Total lakes in the park about 120. They are awesome. Deep, narrow, with rocky shores and purest water. Some reservoirs are located even on the tops of the mountains. Sign by Lake Rodnik. Spring water will be filled with streams and rivers.

Another pride of Panaarvi - mountain tundra. The most southernmost in Fennoscandia, not familiar to the gaze - with pine shrubs, spares-aspins. Grow such trees is very difficult and long. Christmas tree, whose stem in the diameter of the whole pair of centimeters may be for 50 years.

It is determined by the fact that trees grow at height, in the literal sense - on the mountains. If climbing higher, opening views are affected by imagination. It seems that the whole world is boundless forests with blue smears of lakes and river threads.

When you are in Panaarvi, look carefully around. And especially - under your feet. Because on the land of the park you can find unique plants. For example, the self-orchid of the Venerine shoe or bearded lichen, or the Blue Fellodoce (which is not at all blue, but a pleasant lilac-pink shade).

For your own safety, you need to move around the park only along the paths and routes, they are thought out, safe and very interesting. Moreover, you can choose the route for every taste - on water, on foot, in winter - on sleigh or skis.

We need to visit Paanairvi. At the concentration of impressions, the trip will not give way to visiting the Vatican. But it is important to remember that the main task of the park is to maintain nature in its true form. Therefore, not only pleasant adventures are possible here. To avoid them, we advise you to listen to some recommendations of the experienced travelers and the Councils of the Park Administration.

The cost of visiting Paanairvi

The cost is not high for the pleasures that can be obtained. For a tour of the routes with accommodation in the forest house, only 600 rubles are asked russian tourists (390 For residents of Karelia), an excursion with an accommodation in a tent camp will cost at all 370 and 240 rubles, respectively. Water excursions They differ in price depending on the power of the motor - from 90 rubles per hour for a junior boat up to 560 rubles per hour. You can take a daily boat tour - 2650, 3100 rubles.

Get to Panaarvi not easy

But it is worth it. It is impossible to get to the park on the train. Nearest Louchi Station. In principle, any car will come to the park (if it is not at all sorry or she is a tank), there is an ordinary beaten primer, which in places does not allow to develop speed more than 40 km per hour.

If you go to the park by car, it is better to go not from the Louche Station, but through the village of Kaleval (Kalevalsky district). The road to Kalelava is much better and in time it will be faster, despite the slightly greater distance. On the highway M-18, gas stations work, although after the season for Keem to the very Kalevala refueling. Also, after Kalelava, there is no refueling to the park itself and back, and it's not worth paying to the gas station in the village of Pyports (the gas station only works until 17:00). Distance from Kalelava to Panaarvi and back 340 km.

In the village of Palizerskyyou can get from the east, from the south and from the West. The territory of the park from the village leads a dirt road with a length of 59 km.

From Moscow, St. Petersburg and Petrozavodsk to the park you can get along the high Petersburg-Murmansk highway to the village of Louchi, or by train to Louchi station. From where - on the road 110 km west to the village of Poz Worthy.

Panaarvi National Park is one of the main natural attractions of Karelia.

A relatively small park in Park (104473 hectares) has an incredible concentration of this wildlife: Pure rivers, the highest mountains, rare species of animals, deepest lakes, as well as many plants listed in the Red Book.

Park is located on the very North Karelia, on the border with Murmansk region. Already since the end of August, the northern radiances can be observed here in their brightness and painting. The nature of the park is strictly guarded. Getting into the park is not difficult, but about it later. The territory of the park is divided into several zones:

1. Reserved zone. A visit to this zone is possible only by a special agreement with the administration of the park. Simple tourists are not allowed here.
2. Especially protected area. Zone, penetration into which is strictly prohibited. Nature here is especially protected. Here is calculated each bush.
3. Recreation zone. This part of the park is organized for tourists. However, there are strict rules related to the life of the park guests.

It is extremely difficult to select some major sight of the park, so it will be more correct to tell about each in order:

Mount Noranen

This is the highest mountain of Karelia, and right up to the most preparpathia, it is not higher. SAMI high Point The mountains are located 576 meters above sea level. The top of the mountain is fairly flat and naked. Vegetation is a mountain tundra, that is, all plants that are present on the mountain, not higher than 30 centimeters in height. From the top of Mount Noranen, there is a stunning view of tens of kilometers around. Visible ski resorts Finland, lakes, requests, rivers. ... climbing on the mountain, you forget about everything, even fatigue disappears, although the path to the mountain is 21 kilometers in a narrow, wetland trail. Spirit captures. The most religious place on the grief is a huge seder.

The hardest stone is tightly standing on three supports from small stones. But most of all this mountain manits silence. Dozens of kilometers around you will not meet a single person. After all, not everyone will be perfected to go. However, it is worth it.

Mount Kivakka.

This mountain is somewhat lower than Noranen (499 m), but much more popular. This is understandable, because the path to the mountain is where it is shorter and simpler, just 5 kilometers. All the ways are arranged steps, the trail is laid by wide boards, halfway there is a resting place with benches and a table, and the crystal-clean mountain stream flows, which is the path of the travelers with its freshness and coolness. From the mountain, a fascinating view of the Kum's reservoir opens. It's nice and well here.

Lake Paanairvi

Yes, undoubtedly, it is in a special position in the park, because it was in honor of this lake the park received his name. The lake is large enough and very elongated: near a kilometer in width and almost 25 kilometers in length, but the most important thing is that it is the deepest among all lakes of Karelia, Finland and Sweden - the most deep point - 128 meters. Water in it is crystal clear.

On the lake, having received fishing permit, you can catch a lot of fish: perch, lump, smoking and others. Motor boats are organized on Panaarvi Lake. Taking a boat, you can not only make fishing, but also visit two stunning waterfalls: Mantuyukoski and Selkkoski. These waterfalls, one of the highest and picturesque waterfalls in Karelia, and under the Selkkoski, you can even swim by charging the energy of cool mountain rivers. Without wiping to the waterfalls, the travelers offer a grandiose spectacle to high (60 meters) Red Ruskealia Rusheya Rushing.

Kivakkoski waterfall

One of the largest and most powerful waterfalls of Karelia. This waterfall is much wider and louder than the famous. It is located on the threshold of the main river Park - Olange. Water splashes overflow the rainbow in the sun, the stream power and the noise emanating from it deprive the time counting, fascinating and admiring, everyone who approaches it.

Of course, this is not the only sights of Panaarvi National Park. The entire park is one big natural attraction of Karelia, and Russia as a whole.

In Panaarvi, everything is done not only to preserve the virginity of the wonderful Karelian nature, but also in order for tourists here truly rested from problems and urban fuss. The paths are laid comfortable boards, from which it is impossible to go, in order not to pull out unique mosses and lichens.

Stopping overnight is possible only on equipped parking. There are special tent parking and even houses for tourists. Each parking lot is equipped with a fire, there is a woodwoman, an ax, a bowler, a kettle, a canopy above the table top, toilet and other amenities. Thoughtful, good and open counties, who follow the order in the park, melt the bath for you and kindly invite you to get across.

How to get to Panaarvi National Park.

Nature is very strictly guarded in the park, so visiting tourists is strictly limited. To get to the park, it is advisable to declare your intention to come in advance. Parking will be booked for you. Otherwise, you may not be allowed into the park.

Having ordered a junction, you need to come to the Visit Center of the Park, located 1050 km from St. Petersburg and 110 kilometers from Looks in the village of Poz Water. If you are heading to the park not by car, you can order transport from the park for a fairly large amount. There is also an option on a minibus from Petrozavodsk. Just look attentively schedule, because the minibus goes extremely rarely. It is clear, it will have to go on it 11 hours.

If you are traveling on your own transport, it is easier to go through the Murmansk highway to a development from Louchs and turn left towards Pyornos. The road, of course, in a catastrophic state, but noticeably better than expensive through Kalealla.

The visit center organized a museum, also here you can clarify information about the possible way home, pay for every day staying in the park, order excursions, transport, take fishing permit and buy souvenirs.

From the visit center to the park itself 75 kilometers north. If you are not by car, the park will kindly give you the driver with the "UAZ", of course, for a certain amount of money. There are also amen of the cough, who went on foot this distance, caught the travelers and did not spend and a penny of money on the road. However, such a travel option requires great physical and psychological stability.

On the roads of the park is allowed free movement, whether you are on your car or with a local driver.

In Panaarvi, every time of year in its own way is unusually well. In the summer, here you can rent a motorboat, walk on the vertices of the mountains, enjoy the tastes of berries and mushrooms, which are reasonable quantities. In winter, you can rent a snowmobile and visit all the same stunning places as in the summer, just plunging under heavy and cozy blanket of winter silence. It is unusual at any time of the year.

Park is open to visitors round year. Rest in Panaarvi in \u200b\u200bthe summer and winter is two, not similar to the fairy tales, in which I want to come back again and again. If you choose where to go on the journey, the Panaarvi National Park is definitely the right choice. You will not stay indifferent to these places.
