In one of the days of fall, I went on a walking tour of Petropavlovsk, to see what live on the outskirts of the city. And the sniff didn't let me down, a full flash drive of impressions, thrash, gore and shards of the Soviet past. Walked no more or less than 20km, reached the big water, had some plushies and took the bus back home, where the subs were waiting for me at sunset…

Many amazing and unusual things can be found in Kamchatka. For example, you can catch flounder in the very center of the city, 500 meters from the government of Kamchatka Krai. You can climb a sopka and along the way learn that in 1854, Kamchatka could have been part of England… but ours defended it. You can ride your bike to the ocean and ride into an unknown military antenna of about 1,000 square meters… about «eating the flounder you caught on a fishing rod» I have no words. 🙂

A little wandering around the city, followed by crawling through the bushes on Mishenskaya Sopka. Mishenka is the highest part of the city, 380 meters. there's a TV tower and Beeline antennas on it.

Boat trips in Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky are one of the popular tourist attractions. Duration of walks is different, there are for 3 days with fishing, tents and other joys, there is with an exit to the ocean, there are short one-day walks along Avacha Bay. That's just the short one we were on. From the sights we were shown the famous rocks «Three Brothers», which, according to legend, protect the bay, and standing on its shore Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, from tsunamis, which often occur in the Pacific Ocean.

To be in Kamchatka, and not climb volcanoes - it's a shame shame shame and step march to fix! Especially since some jeep access is only open for 3-4 weeks in August, the rest of the time there is either snow or rivers-lakes from the melting of this snow. One of such volcanoes is the active volcano Mutnovsky, which last erupted relatively recently, in 2000. Now in the crater you can observe and smell high-temperature fumaroles (this is when steam from under the ground with a temperature of 150-300 degrees Celsius). In a word must see!
