Brest Region offers to visit the eco-trail "Dokudovo". It passes through forests, a drained swamp and enclosures with wild animals. From the towers encountered along the way you can see the inhabitants of the forest in their natural environment. This is not the only interesting route in the territory of Belovezhskaya Pushcha. You can also go on a quest-hike through the nature reserve “Zvanets” and immerse in the world of wild nature, where reeds coexist with orchids, a rare bird - the aquatic warbler - lives in the same territory with a spider-wasp, a shrew and wolves. Local beavers sometimes work as plumbers and "shut off" the water. In general, there is something to see and note on a trip through a lowland swamp.
Vitebsk Region draws into the world of mystical swamps. The landscape reserve “Yelnya” will welcome guests with many lakes, unique animals and plants. There is both the walking trail "Ozeravki-Yelnya", which runs along a wooden boardwalk through the swamps and long walking routes to enjoy all the incredible beauty of the reserve. Water and walking tour of the Osveysky Reserve will intrigue with the mysterious and "uninhabited" island Du. Its area is quite large - you can't walk around it in one day. The island can only be reached by boat. Untouched nature, rare plants, peace, no internet, traces of a former civilization - all this creates a fascinating atmosphere.
Gomel Region sends to the forestland, where Mozyr "Alps" will surprise with a unique natural landscape ecological system, wild plants, birds and animals listed in the Red Book. Ravines, multi-tiered forest ridges, cliffs - add zest to the reserve. This beautiful route is suitable even for the smallest travelers. Lovers of urban landscapes are invited to Turov, one of the oldest cities in Belarus. It will reveal the secrets of growing stone crosses and the Castle Hill, give pleasure to the vastness of meadows and the beauty of Pripyat, captivate with architecture and plunge into the early Middle Ages.
Grodno Region will surprise you with the complex of structures of the Marian Calvary. It is located in Ostrovets district and runs along the Viliya River. You can start your journey in Dubok village, from an unusual wooden church that opens its gates only once a year. Another fascinating route begins in Volkovysk and includes a historical and cultural complex with an equipped observation deck, which offers a gorgeous panoramic view, natural springs, "Belarusian Maldives", as well as incredible natural beauty.
Mogilev Region will introduce to historical places. One of such places is the "Duleby Islands" nature reserve. It will immerse in the world of swamps, partisan places and wild nature. A special atmosphere is created by the combination of forests and swamps, where bears and lynxes live, the outlines of partisan dugouts, an abandoned military training ground and a lake. And modern agro-town Buinichi will amaze with the magnificence of the memorial complex located on Buinichi field, where the ashes of writer Konstantin Simonov were scattered. A huge zoological garden is located across the road with a large number of animals, many of which live outside the enclosures, and a bridge overlooking the canyons of the Ice Age. Right next to the garden is an almost real Belarusian village.
Minsk Region will leave an indelible impression and even a rethinking of its values with the stunning walking route "Road of Silence". It passes through the territory of Volozhin, Dzerzhinsk and Stolbtsy districts, along fields, forests and ravines, half-empty villages, alone with your thoughts, the sounds of nature, intoxicating air and freedom and captivates with its splendor and silence. Another picturesque route leads to Lake Bezdonnoye (Bezdonka – “bottomless”). There are legends about it and locals even consider its water to be healing. The road to it passes through coniferous forests with a large number of berries and mushrooms. Convenient approaches to the lake and wonderful landscapes are conducive to spending the night with songs around the campfire.
Minsk captivates with the interweaving of modern buildings and architectural monuments, the beauty and decoration of the entire city as a whole and individual locations. You can start with a walk along the Trinity Suburb and admire the chapel and sculpture of the Weeping Angel on the Island of Tears, go to the unusual location of the Red Yard - a kind of courtyard-well with painted walls, to take fascinating photos there. Then we head to the historical center – the Upper Town – to admire religious monuments, architecture and a museum. For lovers of picturesque corners, eco-trails have been created. For example, "Tsna" is one of the largest within the city, with two ring routes, 2.4 kilometers long. It runs along the Tsna Reservoir, the trail is divided into different zones: inhabitants of the reservoir and coastal vegetation, bird habitat, trees and shrubs and medicinal plants. And the island landscapes add charm and appeal throughout the route.
We have only learned with a small, but very interesting part of the hiking routes of Belarus. Each of them deserves special attention for its uniqueness, richness of flora and fauna and diversity of architectural monuments. At any time you can find something new in places which have already been explored.
