Beautiful chalk quarries in Belarus.

These are definitely the most beautiful chalk quarries in Belarus. They look like beautiful lakes from a fairy tale. This place is also called the Belarusian Maldives. It is good to come here to take cool photos, because the landscapes here are simply extraordinary. The unique landscape and bright turquoise water attract a large number of tourists here. The unusualness of the landscapes is also provided by steep high banks, which are overgrown with young trees, huge stones and pieces of silicon, which are somewhat similar to meteorites.


The quarries near Volkovysk are chalk. They were artificially created, chalk was once mined here. Over time, the quarries began to fill with water. Due to the large amount of chalk at the bottom of the quarries, the water acquired such a beautiful emerald color. The length of the quarries ranges from 1 to 4 kilometers. The quarries are very deep, in some places the depth reaches 30-40 meters

There is a special viewing platform here. From it you can safely admire the steep banks and the purest water of a sky-azure color. On the steep slopes you can even see layers of rocks of different colors. It is forbidden to come close, all approaches to the chalk quarries are closed, because there is a risk of soil collapse. Swimming here is also prohibited.

In this place we can enjoy the unique natural beauty and get positive emotions. It is definitely worth visiting to admire the views of extraordinary beauty!
