Add a review about Onega Naberezhnaya

Having arrived in Petrozavodsk, first of all go to the embankment of Onega Lake - the pride of the city, its business card and favorite place of rest for the townspeople. The official opening of the Onega embankment took place in 1994, and another 500 meters of the 19th-century beach arrangement was completed by the 300th anniversary of Petrozavodsk (in 2003). And now almost a mile and a half of the paved coast of Karelian granite has become a wonderful place for walks, romantic dates, meetings with schoolmates and delightful photo sessions.

Quay in Petrozavodsk is not only a stone frame of the part of the Onega Bay adjacent to the city, but also the cultural center of the city.

Quay in Petrozavodsk is not only a stone frame The city center of the Onega Bay, but also the cultural center of the city . There are monuments and sculptures donated by sister cities . All monuments are made at the enterprises of Petrozavodsk with direct participation of authors . Some of the monuments look very unusual . So, for example, at first glance it can be difficult to understand what a deep thought was laid by the American sculptor Rafael Consuegra in the composition "Fishermen" (the first sculpture appeared consists of metal pipes in the form of two fishermen casting the net) but after studying historical facts it becomes clear that this is a question of friendship and partnership between Petrozavodsk and Duluth in Minnesota . This sculpture, as well as the Norwegian gift "Meeting Point", the work of the French sculptor "Sleeping Beauty" (what else could to offer a Frenchman? ) from the sister city of La Rochelle, the "Tübingen panel" (Germany) and other works of art installed near the water, make you think over the author's ideas and create a unique color of the Onega quay . And the present Tree of Wishes with a pin on the trunk of the auricle calls whisper into this ear the most intimate dream . Do it - they will hear you! And the desire will certainly come true .

Even if you are going to walk along the Onega embankment in the summer, grab a cloak with you so that a light breeze from the lake - a permanent inhabitant of local places - did not drive you home early.

On the quay there are windows Mayor's Office, Pedagogical Academy, Academy of Sciences Annually at the last weekend of June Petrozavodsk celebrates City Day - Onega Quay is filled with a cheerful audience, and the city authorities are trying to present another surprise gift to the citizens.
