Fishing in the Vorkuta region
The harsh, arctic lands of Russia’s Vorkutinsky District were settled when people began mining coal in the area. Although the region is inhabited, the mines, settlements and railroad stations are like miniscule islands of civilisation in an endless ocean of tundra. By just travelling a little outside of the city people can find open, flowering expanses of untouched nature and the cleanest, purist rivers full of fish.

Simply remember the moments spent on the waters of Lake Ladoga, surrounded by the quiet forest, the winding sandy shore and the peaceful, quiet atmosphere. It is no wonder that one of the gems of the Russian North, the Konevsky Monastery, is fou...
