Konevetz

This island is located in the western part of Ladoga lake, a few kilometers from the coast. The area of the Konevetz island is just over 8 square kilometers. The Konevsky Mother of God Monastery, founded in 1393, has brought fame to the island. The main relic of the monastery is the Konevsky miraculous icon of the Virgin brought from Athos in Greece. In the western part of the island there is a huge boulder, called the Horse-Stone, an ancient pagan sanctuary. A wooden chapel has been built on top of it. Sightseeing programs
