Why are they going to the terrine?

Landscapes in the north laconic: rocks and hills, endless expanses and water surface. Night shine in the sky sometimes almost brighter. Authenticity is indecent high. And the prices are very low, especially for those who have time to visit the neighboring Scandinavia. Scandinavian Natural Spirit in Teriberka was supplemented with our charm.

The rural settlement of the Terberka is located in the Murmansk region – on the Kola Peninsula, in the tundra area. It lives only about 1000 people, not counting visitors. Since the beginning of November and until the end of April – Winter. The average temperature in the summer – about +12 ° С.

The first settlers – fishermen – appeared in Teriberka in the XVI century. Once here I hunted to the cod and even sharks, built dairy farms and bred deer. Here was even built the first meteorological station. Now the Terberka is happy to meet tourists, and crafts, not counting small fisheries, remained in the past. And yes, the emphasis in the word “terberka” falls on “and”.

Aurora Borealis

Murmansk region, hibins and terberka enter the tops in Russia, where you can admire the Northern Lights. He is trying to catch from September to April. And April here even better winter months – no longer cold. To do this, organize special tours, where a pair of tens of people, armed with cameras and smartphones, stand and look into the sky, trying to see the natural beauty. Cost on average 30 000 USD for three days. To be honest, it’s better to do it yourself. In order for the chances to see the shine were higher, follow the forecasts on special sites. However, the price of the tour can be included in the sea and observation of living creatures, acquaintance with Murmansk and terberka and from water, and with sushi, accommodation, guides, food and transfers – then it is more interesting.

Tip: If you are going on your car and see along the way, on the side of the road, such companies means, that’s, “will begin”. Can brake and wait for a miracle.

Lifehacks

Getting to Teriberka is most convenient for the car. Can be from Murmansk by taxi (2500-3000 rubles. One way) or from bus station by bus №241. The path of 133 km will take from two to four hours depending on the season. In winter faster, since the road at this time of the year is smaller than the year.

It is worth remembering that the terberka is not a resort. Infrastructure, despite the popularity of the place, is poorly developed. It’s not for comfort here, but in order to enjoy the magic of natural phenomena and plunge into fascinating views.

This can not interfere with either the weather, neither then, for example, that about 40 km of your path will pass on the primer. You will not find gorgeous hotels and expensive spa. But you can stay in small houses of the hotel type, some of which look like the buildings of the turbase. It is best to book accommodation in advance, because, having to find accommodation in place, you, quite possibly, will not find it – everything will be occupied due to the influx of tourists. At worst, you can spend the night and in the car, admiring the mountains and the sky. It is safe here, so you can not worry about such a stay.

Which time you are going to the Teriberka, it is worth getting warm. Take only comfortable shoes. See what the polar kits are worn in winter, – do not mistaken! During the rest of the year, reserve raincoats and windings. We also recommend taking a thermos with you and enjoy hot drink during hiking.

In order not to overpay for the activity of guides, you can negotiate with the residents of the village. Ship for fishing, motorboats or boats, SUVs and trucks for travel along the coast – All this can be tried to rent both by private owners and the owners of restaurants. Cheaper, extreme more interesting.

In the summer, the Traditional Arctic Festival is held in Teriberka. The program of this year is still formed, but it should be interesting. In the past years, guests met the speeches of musical teams, lectures and art presentations, helicopters flying, film display, master classes, food markets, sporting events, etc. NS. Festival, in addition to the film Zvyagintsev, became another “provocateur” of tourism development in local regions. So slowly but surely the terberka acquires new magnetism.
