Viewing Point at Mountain Yeleon, Valaam, Republic of Karelia, Russia
On the high bank offers a magnificent view of the island and the coast. Beautiful forest. Through the trees you can see the outlines of the domes of the main cathedral. But basically this place is for enjoying the beautiful views of Valaam.
Valaam is definitely worth it to visit there once in a lifetime. It’s just an amazing place, and it’s not just about the monastery, but also about the very nature of the island.
