Description

Lehmalahti trail (тропа Лехмалахти) — is a small part of big project "Big Ladoga Trail" — hiking trail around Ladoga lake, which was announced and started in 2020. Signs and markings done in 2021, so sometimes it's not so easy to find right path, especially in the places using for camping. Mostly all the time you can see coast of the lake, so in such places you can just continue moving along the coast.

Route starts from the place where Tikhaya river meets Ladoga lake. First 13 kilometers the trail is okay only for hikers. Walking is okay, but stony ground and twisty line makes impossible using mountain bike, etc. After 9km point track goes to the viewplace on the top of the hill — highest pont far around. While going up and down here gps-track will be very usefull. Last 4 kilometers consists different roads to the center of Berezovo village. End of the route — sign of Lehmalahti trail near "Zastava" museum&cafe.
