Welcome naar Umba op de Tersky Kust
 Umba
is situated op de south side van Kola Schiereiland. There are two dorpen van Umba actually. New Umba has sprung up op a Kust van two deep
bays van het Witte Zee in de neighborhood met old Umba in de second half of
the XIX century, after two saw-mills (Swedish en Rusland) were launched here.
Old Umba is considerably older (founded in de middle van het XV century),
smaller by size en hidden in de mouth van het rivier met the same name. The
main properties van Umba are the Kust-dwellers old time traditions, zalm, hospitality van het local inhabitants en the beauty van het mighty
Umba rivier.
 The streets van old Umba consist van wooden sidewalks. Walk met us van the
dorp naar de shoreline by one van het numerous paths. Rocks polished by the
sea inspire the large respect voor the Witte Zee - the Grace Gandvik, as it is
sometimes named in de Kust-dwellers fairytales. Tersky Kust, the land van Kola
Kust-dwellers begins van here, van Umba. Undoubtedly, that the aerial
traveler will think about taking a journey farther along the Kust after
breathing the wind van de sea. The names van het Kust-dwellers dorpen
sounds as a magic game: Kuzreka, Olenitsa, Kashkarantsy, Kuzomen, Varzuga,
Chavanga, Chapoma, Strelna..... However remember that "civilization"
finishes here. There are no hotels anymore en even the roads will also
disappear.
During our fiets toer en one van our
bus excursie toers we will visit Umba. We will visit the
interesting museum van Umba; the "Museum van History en life van Tersky
Kust-dwellers" naar get acquainted met the area, the nature en the
