Visit during the White Nights period in early summer to enjoy long daylight hours for walking.
Bring mosquito repellent if visiting in mid-summer, as the proximity to the Izhora River leads to increased insect activity.

Avoid walking near the riverbank edges during early spring when the water levels are high and the ground may be muddy.
