Already from the very meaning of the name of Vytegra ("lake river" in translation) it becomes clear what attracts tourists in it - the clear waters of Lake Onega and rapids that are so interesting for rafting on canoes, kayaks and rafts. In addition to river riches, Vytegra attracts tourists with the ancient northern wooden architecture, which has remained here since the time of Peter the Great.
At one time Vytegra was called the "port of five seas", because here lay the main highway of the Northwest of Russia - the Volga-Baltic Way , which unites the waters of the Baltic, White, Caspian, Azov and Black Seas into one.
Tourists come to this region for the purest of all lakes of European Russia - Onega Lake, whose sandy beaches are among the best. By the way, fishing on the lake is also very popular among tourists. Due to the good ecological condition of the reservoir, there are a lot of large fish in it, for example, there are ide, bream and perch, so in summer and winter many fishermen specially come to Vytegra to rest on the lake.
