Description

Travelers often try to explore the city of Minsk, which has separate guided tours on this website, and miss the opportunity to explore its surroundings. And in vain, because the surrounding region is rich in sights that deserve attention.


We begin the tour with a visit to the charming ruins of a watermill on the picturesque banks of the Isloch River in the village of Treskovshchina.


Next, we will visit the ruins of the Drutsky-Lyubetsky estate in the village of Novoe Pole.


Among the fields and woods, 24 km from Minsk, we will find an amazing water "staircase".


Then we will go to the excellent historical complex and the interactive museum, the 'Stalin Line' Historical and Cultural Complex.


Then we go to Zaslavl. This is a city with deep historical roots, where we will explore local attractions: the Transfiguration Cathedral, the Church of the Nativity of the Blessed Virgin Mary, the ethnographic complex "Mill".


In Zhdanovichi, we will visit a museum with a memorial exhibition in memory of the outstanding Belarusian writer Vasil Bykov.


In the agricultural town of Semkovo, we will see the ruins of a once luxurious manor complex from the end of the 18th century.


We will finish our trip in the village of Semkov Gorodok, where we will visit a Baroque monument with classical features - the Church of the Nativity of the Mother of God.
