Wildlife watching in Bielovezhskaya Puscha Park

by MikeBird

If you're the sort of person who gets a thrill out of seeing some spectacular wildlife then the National Park on the south-western fringes of Belarus should be on your itinerary. As with all wildlife watching you can rarely guarantee sightings but there is a good chance, with the guides from the park, that you will find Wisent, also known as European Bison, Red Deer and Wild Boar together with some spectacular birds such as the Black Woodpecker ( these are BIG) and Pygmy Owl ( which are quite tiny). The wildlife will not leap out at you so you definitely need the help of a guide to get the most out of the park and be prepared for some quite long drives but I hope you will find it worth while.I believe the guides are arranged through the park administration offices and I'm sorry but I don't know how much they cost. To avoid all of the admin hassle it's probably best to go as a group and...

Brest

by Kuznetsov_Sergey

Brest, formerly also Brest-on-the-Bug and Brest-Litovsk.For the first time I visited Brest in 1969 when being a youth traveling with my parents by car around Belarus and Ukraine. The Brest Fortress is the most interesting place to visit there. This is my most visited city in Belarus that I was visiting twice a year since 1999 when we began our trips to Germany by car. This city is located at the border with Poland opposite the city of Terespol, where the Bug River and Mukhavets rivers meet. It is the shortest way to Germany from Moscow.Sometimes we cross the city without staying there, sometimes spent a night in its hotels “Intourist” and “Belarus”.

Open-air Museem-Village Dududki

by lorigirl

Dudutki is a unique open-air museum village. It is a great place to go if you want to explore ancient culture and way of life of a tipical 19 century village. Here you can visit a museum of folk craft, see how a windmill works, take a horseride, forge a horseshoe for luck in a village forge. A potter will make a pot for you or will even teach you to do it, so you can make it yourself. You can observe how village bakers bake bread and cakes and take a boat ride along the river Ptitch. After you can enjoy a meal at a country-style tavern or go to a bathhouse.

To Understand Their Suffering - Visit Khatyn

by rboittier

During WWII Belarus suffered heavily from the invading and occupying Nazis. The people of Belarus had to endure hardship & cruelty under this regieme. Many others fled into the forests as "partisans", a resistance army bent on disrupting and sabotaging the occupying Nazis.The Nazis hated all Slav people and mistreated, tortured and killed them without mercy. The partisans fought bravely against the enemy but in acts of revenge, Nazis would round up entire villages and burn them to the ground. They would kill all the occupants by shooting or burning them alive. Nearly 200 villages that existed before WWII have been wiped off the map. Many more were burnt but have remained today. Over 2 million Belarussians were murdered during the War - That is: ONE IN FOUR of the population!These tragic events are remembered at Khatyn. Now a National memorial, Khatyn was once a small village in the...

Swim in a Lake!

by rboittier

Belarus has over 7000 lakes so you are never far from one wherever you stay. Take some advice from a local to find where the nearest lake is which is safe to swim in. Belarus has hot humid summers and harsh cold winters, so make sure it is summer if you are going swimming!When you arrive at your lake you will probably find other swimmers around if it is a popular spot and is a weekend. Jump in and immerse yourself in the fresh clean waters. You will feel invigorated and refreshed after your swim. There are not many swimming baths in Belarus, no one can afford them anyway. Swimming in a lake is free and much more fun. You will feel at one with nature - an added bonus!

Museum of Traditional Krafts

by minchanka

The area of the museum includes some country building, each one is dedicated to a different kraft. They have a carpenter ther, a blacksmith, a potter, a cheesmaker, a baker, a weaver. All things are made in a old way, like our ancestors used to make it in the beginning of the last century. You will have an opportunity to watch the process, to try to do something yourself and to taste the results. In the exebition room are displayed traditional costumes, instruments and daily life things. The restaurant will offer you very tipical belarusian dishes, which also have a long history. It is better to spend in Dudutki a whole day, because there is mach to see.

Visit Brest

by aliante1981

The key place in the history of Belarus that has to be visited, Brest was given the title of the 'Hero City' after its bitter standing against the Nazi attack in 1941. The fortress is essentially the monument you have to see there.

Visit Minsk

by aliante1981

Well, it is a must. There are museums that would tell you the history of the country, some monuments left of the Old City, decent hotels, and it is a convenient starting point for many excursions inside Belarus.

Photography. As I travelled...

by blue-viggen

Photography. As I travelled through Minsk and onward to Volozhin I was amazed at the harsh reality that life can portray. I saw farmers ploughing the fields with no animals just the plough attached to their own bodies. I found this quite amazing to see, especially in the days of automated farming machinery. This gives some indication as to the nature in which the people endure.There were very many unique qualities that I experienced so many that they would be too numerous to mention. Though it should be noted that Minsk is a more Comercial centre than the more rural towns and therefore offers more to the Western tourist unless you are actually looking for the 'great outdoors'. I would once again remind you that the further out of town you travel the less likely you would be to find anyone speaking any language other than Russian. This can be a great hinderence to the Tourist.My...
