The Pridneprovskaya Ecotrope. The Holy Dnieper spring. A picturesque cliff on the banks of the Dnieper River.
The ecological route called "Pridneprovskaya trail" begins on the territory of the sanatorium "Pridneprovsky". It runs through a coniferous forest, and then through an arboretum park, where a unique flora is represented, for example, the red oak.
After leaving the forest area, the trail leads along the picturesque cliffs above the Dnieper River. These cliffs are incredibly picturesque and high. The Dnieper River makes an impressive bend here, crashing into the shore and turning at a sharp angle, creating a spectacular view. The edge of the cliff can be dangerous due to crumbling soil, so do not get too close.
The trail ends at a healing spring with the purest spring water. To get to it, you should go down a steep slope, following the signs. During a spring flood, the spring may be under water, so a special structure with a gate is installed on the descent to ensure safety.
If you are not a guest of the sanatorium, you can walk to the spring from the parking lot located in front of the checkpoint. First, the road leads in a southeasterly direction, and then, before reaching the drilled wells, it is necessary to turn onto the eastern road. Locals use this spring to replenish their water reserves using the rafting method, as it is located very close to the left bank of the Dnieper River.
The consecration of the spring took place on July 12, 2000, as evidenced by the memorial plaque. It was probably then that the last significant improvement was made. The water from the source is discharged into the pipe. The shores of the spring lake are reinforced with stone. For the convenience of passage, there is a concrete path that creates a bridge over a spring stream. There is a cross nearby. The trees are decorated with colorful ribbons. The stream formed by the spring flows into the bay of the Dnieper River after a short distance.
A unique ship hotel in Belarus is located on the Dnieper River, surrounded by coniferous trees. In summer, you can spend the night here on a real landing stage, enjoying the silence of the river and the forest atmosphere. Steep shores, centuries-old pine trees and mushroom groves surround this place. Inside, visitors will find authentic cabins from the 80s, imbued with the spirit of the Soviet era. It is quiet and sparsely populated on weekdays. You can go swimming, boating and fishing. There are gazebos and barbecues on the territory.
Bicycles, boats and the opportunity to go jogging in the forest are offered for outdoor activities. Nearby there are sports grounds for children and adults.
