The fluffy slopes of Kandalaksha

Mount Volosyanaya. The ancient temple of the indigenous people of the North. The name of this mountain was given by its origin, the whole point is that on this hill there is a large ancient Sami temple, numbering more than 200 Seids. In ancient Sami, the temple is called ringing stones, which emit a clear metallic ringing when struck. The Sami, who once lived on the territory of the present Kandalaksha district, had two religious cults: the cult of the supreme gods and the cult of sacred stones — the Seids. This amazing program helps to immerse yourself in antiquity, because the whole atmosphere of this place is saturated with incredible energy.1 DAY
