One of the most fascinating ancient legends says: long time ago in the far north amazing people lived. Ancient writers called them “Hyperboreans” which meant “living beyond the northern wind Boreas”. These people had magical secret knowledge: the secret of eternal youth, the strength of the ultimate weapon and were blessed with extraordinary artistic talents.

Hyperboreans lived happily for a long time but then they suddenly disappeared... Among various versions about the place where the legendary land Hyperborea was located, the most reliable one says that this country was situated beyond the 60th parallel on the territory of our Republic!

It is no coincidence that Karelia has become a place for the international youth educational forum named “Hyperborea”. The memory of the great suddenly disappeared civilization is alive as long as people strive for excellence, eternal youth and absolute knowledge!
