Been there. Here are a few photos from the event.
A view from the nearby hill
The celebration’s central event was the opening of the memorable stone.
This is Ludmila Alexandrova of the Tourist Info Center of Kandalaksha and the head of youth movement Eco-dozor (eco-watch) speaking of Kolvitsa.
Below is Valentin Myzdrikov, the artistic force behind the event. He carved and painted writings on this stone.
The “Swan stone”, also by Valentin Myzdrikov, made in a manner unplanned and spontaneous the day before the event, when several wild swans flew over the official Kolvitsa stone and landed on this one.
Finally, there was a mass walk to the water falls.
When real photos become available this report may get updated.
