Lyaskovichi. Pripyat National Park

The territory of the park has gradually increased, and today its area is approximately 88,600 hectares. To contact the administration of this park, you need to visit a city called Turov.

The main part of the park is covered with dense forests, but there are also places where cranberries grow, as well as reservoirs occupying about 500 hectares of the total area of the park. Here, the fauna is represented by a variety of animals, and the flora will surprise even the most experienced connoisseurs of nature.

In the middle of 1987, bison were moved here, and they still live here. Not far from the park, you can see the territory of the Polessky State Radiation and Ecological Reserve.

A special pleasure, incomparable, can be obtained by sailing on a motorboat along the tributaries of the Pripyat River. In spring, this area is heavily swampy, and the width of the river reaches an impressive 30 kilometers, which looks incredibly beautiful.

The Pripyatsky National Park is a real paradise for anglers. Fish species such as bream, pike, roach, ide, tench, perch and rudd live here, and catfish hide in quiet pools. Many photos of Belarusian fishermen with trophies — huge catfish reaching human height and more — were taken here.

As for the tourist infrastructure, there are many places for every taste and budget where you can stay. Hunters prefer the Nad Pripyat hotel complex in Lyaskovichi, where there is a sauna, a swimming pool, billiards and even a bowling alley. The on-site restaurant serves game dishes. And birdwatchers, who value maximum privacy and silence, choose the Doroshevichi tourist complex on the banks of the Pripyat.

This place is very popular among ornithologists, who come here from all over the world in spring and autumn to observe the migration of birds. It is believed that there are very few such pristine corners of nature in Europe. Such crystal clear air can be found only in the mountains and in the Pripyatsky National Park.
