Most of the population of our country lives in cities. People often get tired of the rush surrounding them. This is why many people are looking for ways to get away from the bustling city for the weekend, and some people think radically and even move to the countryside.
Fortunately, nowadays it is not necessary to move out of a city, as there is such a concept as agritourism. It is tourism in the countryside, which can be both organized and unorganized.
Such a vacation may seem boring to some at first, but do not jump to conclusions, because only during such a journey you will:
- immerse yourself in the beauty of our nature,
- enjoy fishing or hunting,
- ride bicycles or horses,
- take a walk in the neighborhood,
- learn everything about the life of the villagers and their history,
- experience the national culture,
- discover folk traditions, make your own souvenirs, and taste Belarusian national cuisine.

“Belye Luga” farmstead
This farmstead is a real treasure, which differs from the others because the pre-war village is frozen in time: there are the same linden trees, stone streets and wooden houses.
The purpose of the farmstead is to immerse you in the rural atmosphere. Somewhere you have to chop firewood, somewhere to dig beds, as if you are a resident, not a tourist. However, living here is comfortable: there are showers and cozy beds.
In addition to such an atmosphere, you will enjoy the traditional cuisine, a bathhouse, and tea with honey. The farmstead is located in Grodno region, Korelichi district, at 10 Tinevichi village. You can check the prices at https://luga.by/
