Father Frost and Snegurochka

In the heart of Belovezhskaya Pushcha NP, 70 km from Brest to the north, a new tourist attraction has appeared amid the primeval forest in December 2003. That is the permanent residence of the Belarusian Ded Moroz (Father Frost). Visitors are amazed by the fairy-tale palace where Father Frost lives with his granddaughter Snegurochka (The Snow Maiden), who is associated with the name of the Russian composer of the 19th century Rimsky-Korsakov and his fairy-tale opera “Snegurochka” (The Snow Maiden, 1882). She is a must alongside with father Frost at all New Year’s festivities in Belarus. A 42 m spruce, that is 120 years old, is in the center of the site, it is the tallest spruce in Belarus. The site is open all the year round, a paradise for kids and their parents.

It is located in Ploschad Lenina. Unlike the most of ex-USSR states, the Lenin Monuments still exist in Belarus.

 Brest is one of the most important cities in Belarus. And, after you've visited Mink, that's probably the place to head for. ***Under construction still***
