Sampo - mountain, combined inthe result of vertical movements of the earth's crust, as well as under the influence of the glacier. Here you can see the long stretches of the countryside. Numerous Karelian lakes are located in the faults today.

There is an opinion that Sampo is in fact not a mountain, but a natural dam in a large, shallow lake. Thanks to this dam, the water does not freeze, causing the number of fish to increase several hundred times. 

Before the sixties of the twentieth centurythis hill was anonymous. The name he received in connection with the creation of the Soviet-Finnish film "Sampo" based on "Kalevala." This mountain was chosen for the picturesque nature and species that open on Koncheozero. The hill turned into a set, so it began to be called - Sampo. The film was removed, and the name caught on and got the official status.

Despite the fact that the nameless hill has becomemagic solely by the will of script writers, the trail of those who wish to stand on the axis of power and feel the special energy of the cosmos is not getting over it. For the esotericists, Sampo gora, not so much purifying the chakra, as fulfilling the desire.
It is believed that you need to climb to the top of the hill,hang on the branch of the hundred-year-old pine growing there a scrap of your clothes and make a heartfelt wish. Only that! No hard work, no need to go to the goal purposefully! Came, hung up a T-shirt and wait for your dream to come true.
By the way, the whole top of the hill representsimpartial sight because of human laziness and superstition. The perennial pine will soon collapse under the clothes that were hung on it. But the esotericists laid a comfortable ladder with handrails, thanks to which it was much easier to climb the observation deck.
