Blue Krynica

This place is considered a holy site, and spring water is healing. Many people come here, to the Mogilev region, to swim in a spring, because the locals say that even the air heals in this place.

Spring water is always cool (about 5 degrees), so you won’t be able to swim for a long time, but you can arrange a barbeque in summer houses nearby and admire the scenery. By the way, Blue Krynica is the largest spring in Eastern Europe, which has been preserved in its natural state. This water body is located near Slavgorod.
