Economics and transport

The economy of the Podporozhye region is dominated by the logging industry. This is due to the availability of a large number of resources. The rest of the industry need not be considered; it can be noted that it occupies a share of less than one percent of total production in the region. It is also worth noting the Verkhnesvirskaya hydroelectric power station, which supplies the area with electricity.

The level of registered unemployment is slightly higher than the regional average. In general, the Podporozhye district cannot be called economically prosperous, largely for the reason that only one industry predominates in the economy. This partly explains the population decline, which often leaves in search of promising work. However, the area has some potential.

The main transport route of the Podporozhye region is the Vologda – Medvezhyegorsk highway. The St. Petersburg – Petrozavodsk railway line also passes through the area.

Attractions

More than 120 historical and architectural monuments are registered in the Podporozhye district. It is worth noting that many of them are in urgent need of restoration. This especially applies to wooden buildings, which are of the greatest value. Among the most significant objects are:

Of interest is the village of Verkhniye Mandrogi, which is one of the most visited sites in the Podporozhye region. Many tourists come specifically here. Also among the interesting places and attractions it is worth noting the Museum of Vodka and Moonshine, which is located in the village of Verkhniye Mandrogi.

There are also annual events that may be of interest as well. For example, the annual holiday of the Vepsian people is the “Tree of Life”.

Recreation and fishing

The Podporozhye region will be of interest to fishing lovers, there are many lakes and interesting rivers (not only the Svir). There is also a tourist infrastructure, in particular not only hotels, but also guest houses and recreation centers with the possibility of renting boats. Of course, people go here for fishing less often than in Karelia, but in the Leningrad region this is one of the most interesting areas from this point of view.

As we wrote above, there are also interesting sights here, but in addition, there are many beautiful places in the Podporozhye region, so those who like to camp with tents can also feel comfortable here. If you wish, you can come up with interesting walking or cycling routes.
