In Sortavala over 90 buildings of historical value, ie. a prominent and even well-known architects in the late XIX early XX century

That's only in decent condition in the main those which are banks...

Another local bottleneck of Sortaval, called by locals "the ferry", but in fact representing a floating bridge across a narrow but deep Strait between the mainland and the island of Riekkalansaari (truck traffic on it is prohibited, but... if impossible, but very necessary, it can be)

Wit the residents of the nearby village of Peninsula will not deny  

We went over 2000 miles on the route M-10 and A-121. The pickup proved to myself beyond praise. As succinctly said my partner Igor Gorpin: "This is the car for our roads." The average consumption for the whole route was around 8 l/100 km, with an average passport consumption at 7.1 l/100 km.

However, this result is primarily due to a relatively low temperature, and that the tire pressure was maintained slightly below the norm to improve ride comfort.

Ruskeala waterfalls on the river tokhmayoki


In the course of the run we visited the sights around the town of Sortavala, for example, the famous marble canyon Ruskeala and the Ruskeala waterfalls made famous by the Soviet film "the dawns here are quiet".

On the way back we were able to appreciate the difference between reconstructed and are in the process of rebuilding sections of the route A212 "Sortavala",

Near the fortress near the road А121 two monuments to the heroes-tankers:

Heavy tank is-3, dates from the middle of 1945 (which doesn't quite match the theme of the great Patriotic war)

But the self-propelled gun ISU-152 "Deerslayer" in 1943 actually carried on their shoulders the burden of the struggle against the fascist "Tigers" and "Panthers" and take Berlin
