Template:Infobox Russian Location Petrozavodsk (Russian: Петрозаво́дск) is the capital of the Republic of Karelia, Russia, with a population of 266,160. It stretches along the western shore of the Lake Onega for some 27 kilometers.

Hitching Out

All directions (St. Petersburg, Murmansk)

At the central train station walk down to the crossing and go left towards the first bus stop. From there, take trolleybus #1 or #8 and get out at the first roundabout (not the half-roundabout after 500m, but the one after around 5 minutes). From there, take the first exit and hitchhike there directly out of town towards the M18 motorway in all directions.
