a little bit wrong, but nevertheless, and of course , as we approach this date, we look back to see what has been done, what work has been done, what results have been achieved, aren’t we ashamed of our period of work, now for our generation, i think that this is really such a milestone, a milestone in the development of the reserve business, and how will you surprise guests on the eve of the new year holidays? firstly, i want to note the point that, of course, we, probably more than anyone else, feel that in our society, fortunately there was a fashion for health, a fashion for health, and people, even from the experience of the last new year, it was a big weekend,

new year’s, we held our tours, and our foreign and belarusian guests left from the new year’s tour and we thought that these we will have the following post-new year's days... show in the forest, nature always has its own, well, unique processes,

awakening in spring, blossoming in summer, preparation for peace in autumn and majestic white peace in winter, we are interested in winter paths, for example, ski route, the white book of the forest, when our guide skis along the ecological trail and talks about all the traces of animals that knock on the way, i’ll say this...

a varied program, both for lovers of active recreation and for those who want to dive into quiet contemplation of the magic created by nature. you should think in advance about where to celebrate the most long-awaited holiday of the year. the new year season here began in early december. spending your winter holidays in the berezensky nature reserve, you enjoy almost all winter activities, ice fishing, sledding, skiing, snowmobiling and... biking, which have the fancy name katraki.

we will find out what else the reserve does in winter from a specialist in his field, tour guide of the tourism department oleg shoforovich. oleg, good afternoon. oh, good afternoon. we are in the forest zoo right now , passing by enclosures with bears. tell me why your bears don't sleep? oh, our bears do not sleep for one very simple reason: hibernation for a bear is very a necessary measure, because in the european subtype of brown bear 95% of the food is plant food, and bears need to eat something, and plant food, as you understand, is not easy to find in winter, so bears in the fall produce the so-called fattening, that is, they eat, they eat as much as they can, accumulate a huge amount of fat, then go into hibernation, the interesting thing is that these bears receive sufficient food, that is, they have balanced diets, there is a lot of stuff in there, for this reason, they actually don’t you need a hat, if you look to the right, look into the distance, you can see a wolf

, we have a couple of wolves living here, the interesting thing is that wolves are simply unprecedented animals, firstly, we have such an interesting thing that wolves have weddings for the period of our february 14th , that is, in fact, when we have a holiday of love, wolves also begin a great birth of love, the period of the rut, the cephaloplon of hormones, but the wolves personally surprise me with this, as i already said, the reserve is a mass of swamps, swamps here really a lot, 60% of the territory - this is one and a half times larger in size than the city of minsk, all this is covered with continuous swamps, of absolutely all types, in these swamps, of course, our favorite cranberry grows , wolves are rich in vitamin c, they , in fact, also experience all sorts of health difficulties, they have vitaminos, and wolves come in winter, dig up these cranberries from under the snow and dig up azima in order to combat this deficiency, we also have a lot in the minsk zoo...

oleg, where are we now, as they say there, damn knows him, somewhere in the forest, in general, it’s very easy to determine the matter , they say, if... judging by the trees, he says: a christmas tree is the north, a palm tree is the south, so it’s very easy to determine where the north is, where the south is, we are definitely somewhere in the north. so, you and i found ourselves in the forest, that is, this is our mythological path, it’s called in the land of myths, that is, we find ourselves in the land of myths and in the summer this is quite an interesting sight. every year we hold a festival of sonen mythology called shliakh smoka, where you can walk at night along navy paths and see what it all looks like,

to get acquainted with the myths that have lived together, but you can meet them in winter, day and night, that is, when it is... comfortable and darlings want to meet such comrades. in 2016, an ecological trail was opened here , called the cut of myths - this is the only trail of its kind in the republic of belarus, which represents nature through the images of slavic mythology, that is , it is not a trail that shows us installations, it is a trail that reveals how our ancestors saw this world, this is first of all world order and perception of the nature of the surrounding world, that is, slavic mythology is actually crudity. more interesting than it might seem, because if you ask people, they know a lot about greek myths, but when it comes to slavic mythology, they usually stop short, our mythology is much more extensive and voluminous. what activities does the reserve offer in winter? and the winter period is quite an interesting time, at least the main activity is this winter

fairy tale, that is, you can look at it completely different methods, this is a walk in the form of various ecological trails, this is a ski trip, get acquainted on foot, but you can do it on horseback, and of course, if you want to learn something new for yourself, try such an incredible experience, there is such a thing called a catrak , it’s a winter bike, i’m sure that sooner or later you will become familiar with it, that is, it ’s a thing that you have to try just to check the box, yes i did it, and it also looks good on instagram, and what's about those who are not.

only in a small building of the museum of mythology, and you can also get acquainted with the history of honey, beekeeping and find out what bees are doing now. the fabulous magic of the new year holidays and the beautiful winter nature reserve are unforgettable combinations; celebrating the new year in the berezensky nature reserve can subsequently become a good tradition for you.

they do not notice obstacles and do not allow themselves to give up, fate has given them another chance to test themselves, whether the chosen ones will continue the path to the finale, the time for battle has come.

fierce struggle, unexpected plot twists.
