Petropavlovsky Lighthouse

Historical and educational excursion

6 hours

Remember how, as a child, you ran late at night from a walk? The light of your native window was a guiding star for you and somehow burned in a special way. Your heart felt warm from the fact that the most beloved and dear people were waiting for you at home.

The Mayak evokes the same emotions in sailors returning to their native bay. He is the first to meet the ships and symbolizes the end of a long journey.

Petropavlovsky lighthouse is an old dweller of our city. While resisting the cold winds it keeps guard day and night. It vigilantly looks after the ships so that they don’t get lost in the illimitable ocean and easily find their way home. We’ll visit this «old man» and have a look at what it has been observing for so many years. In winter the magnificent ocean and the frozen bay look like a scene from the «Chronicles of Narnia».

Lighthouse Petropavlovsky is the same age as our city and has served it faithfully for many years. They say that in order to feel the warmth of the native hearth again and carry it through your life, you need to approach the Lighthouse and touch it with both palms. We invite you to make this small beautiful journey.

Petrovskaya Sopka, on which the lighthouse stands, is densely covered with forest, foxes and even bears live there. The path to the lighthouse lies through beautiful bays, constrained by steep cliffs and covered with black volcanic sand.
