Konevets, Religious island in Lake Ladoga, Russia
The 8.5 square kilometer island features sandy beaches along its shores and two prominent cliffs, Svyataya and Zmeinaya, rising 34 and 29 meters respectively.
The Orthodox Monastery of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, established by Arseny of Novgorod in 1393, endured Swedish attacks in 1577 and 1610.
The Kon-kamen, a notable rock formation on the island, marks a location where Karelian people conducted ceremonial practices before Orthodox influence arrived.
Visitors reach the island via a ferry service from Vladimirovka village, completing the 6.5-kilometer journey across Lake Ladoga in approximately 45 minutes.
During winter months, the lake waters around Konevets freeze so solidly that people can walk directly to the island across the ice.
