The artist Ilya Repin's museum-mansion

The area’s sandy dunes, beaches and pine tree park remain some of the most beloved places around for people to rest and relax.

Giant schools of salmon travel to the lake in order to lay eggs and are met by these sharp-clawed, hungry landlords who tirelessly feast on fish. Such a filling food-fest helps local brown bears to build up the fat reserves they need in order to spend the winter in hibernation. During this time the bears are so involved in their intense fi...
