Malye Oserki

Malye Ozerki lies at the northern end of Lake Obozero, beside a bay called Lokhta. The lake and its forested surroundings form part of the northern landscape between the Onega River and the White Sea coast. Small villages grew on these shores long before the larger settlement of Obozersky. The Onega, farther west, carried people and goods between Kargopol and the sea, while the lakes and woods provided the setting for a more dispersed rural life.
