Karelia Nature Tour 2004 http://karelia.bodenkunde.info/report2003.html Welcome to Karelia. It is the unique untouched territory nearest to the European Union where today you still can visit one of last large sites of Old Growth Forests for which preservation today actively there is a struggle of scientists and the public. Here for short time you will see the big variety of postglacial landscapes. Owing to a glacier here paradise for geologists - practically any sediments. It is a lot of outputs of bed-rocks! Karelia - the country of lakes (60 thousand) and bogs (about 50 % of territory of republic it is boggy). The important objects of interest are Karelian wetlands. In the Western countries most of the bogs, mires and swamps are drained now; only in Karelia we can see extensive territories of diverse mature wetlands.
