I Took Soviet Steam Train in Far North in Russia / Karelia, Russian Finland

Описание: I Took Soviet Steam Train in Far North in Russia / Karelia, Russian Finland

The Russian North. Snowy, wild, and cold. This is exactly how many people imagine it — as a land without life and joy. But what if I say that there is a place for a real little dream? A unique and unusual steam train in the snowy forests, as though it is the very train that goes to Hogwarts. And this is not a fairy tale, but a reality — the Ruskeala express in Karelia Republic in Russia

I've never wanted to visit Karelia, but what I definitely wanted to do is to take a ride on this unique train. Is it worth to leave your comfort zone and travel to the far north in winter in Russia? Let's find out because today I'm going on my expedition to Karelia Republic, Russian Finland
