The Tumcha River carries its waters in the very north of Karelia and in the Murmansk region, already beyond the Arctic Circle.

The harsh beauty of the northern taiga, a series of interesting rapids, an abundance of mushrooms and berries (according to the season) — all this is prepared by the river for its guests.
