The Kizhi museum is one of the largest open-air museums in Russia. This is an unique historical, cultural and natural complex and a particularly valuable object of cultural heritage of the peoples of Russia. The basis of the museum collection is the architectural ensemble of the Kizhi Pogost included in the World Heritage List of UNESCO.
The collection of pieces of wooden architecture on Kizhi Island is united into three large exhibition sectors. Other places of interest are the two historical settlements — Yamka Village and Vasilyevo Village — and several more pieces of wooden architecture on Kizhi Island. The architectural and ethnographical exhibition of the Kizhi Museum completely represents the traditional peasant culture of the Olonets Province in the XIX — the early XX cc., demonstrates the traditional peasant household and spiritual culture.
There are also some other options for guests.
The Ruskeala marble quarry (260 km west from Petrozavodsk, close to the border with Finland) is a picturesque natural monument and a mining site. It is filled with pristine groundwater of emerald color. The lenght of the canyon from north to south is 460 meters, width up to 100 meters. The height from the highest point of the side to the bottom is more than 150 meters. Water transparency reaches 18 meters. Picturesque marble quarries have long been mined for building marble cathedrals and palaces of St. Petersburg and other cities. Currently several quarries are abandoned and flooded, but other ones continue to be used for industrial production of stone.
Martsialnye Vody, or the Waters of Mars, is the oldest spa in Russia, founded in 1719 by Peter the First. Its special treatments are very popular among local visitors which come here to enjoy the healing power of sulfur-smelling mud as well as lovely scenery. The health resort is situated about 50 km away from Petrozavodsk. The delightful natural setting and striking landscape seem to have been made for a spa. Local mineral waters are deemed to have healing powers and the springs are very good to drink. In 1946, a museum commemorating the spa’s importance, the story of its grand foundation as well as its development and growth over the years was opened here.
The Kivach Waterfall is the second largest flat land waterfall in Europe, with the height of about 11 meters. It is situated on the Suna River and gives its name to the Kivach Natural Reserve, founded in 1931. The waterfall is surrounded by a large nature reserve, a museum of nature, an arboretum and a monument to the heroes of the Great Patriotic War.
