they say more than 600 years, well , this is accessible, there are still places where oak groves are older, they’re just less accessible for tourists, because of their soil conditions there is swampy soil, here we have trees and more even in diameter and height , and what do you feel being in such a place, in general, i am grateful to fate that it gave me the opportunity to work here, it’s indescribable, because this is pusha is pusha, so you and i came in right away. somehow you feel differently, really, yes, because you feel the powerful, magnificence of it all, we travel abroad, but we don’t see our own right under our noses, what we have, but we have it better, mind you, it’s we who owe it this is all property, this is all to preserve and increase, if there is such a possibility, vasily vasilyevich, tell us where we are now, well, now we are in a unique place, i think even this is one of the unique places in belarus, in our this place grows white fir, a tree listed in red...

enlightenment, this is our delicious cuisine , everything else that we have, in the fall, in spring and winter there is always something to show in the forest, nature always has its own, well, unique processes, awakening in spring, blossoming in summer, our paths, this is our ecological home

in autumn preparation for peace and in winter majestic white peace, we are interested there are winter trails, for example, a ski route, a white book of the forest, when our guide skis along an ecological trail and talks about all the traces of animals that are encountered along the way, i’ll tell you very interesting, i personally work in the field... brothers slavs in forest, after which they found mountains there, took out garbage with trailers and so on

, and today this is no longer surprising, when people rested somewhere in a bag, collected everything with them, took everything with them, even this moment suggests that people have become truly more cultured and they understand that what is around us - it is pricelessly unique. each season is attractive in its own way; in winter , the berezensky reserve offers a varied program, both for lovers of active recreation and for those who want to immerse themselves in the quiet contemplation of the magic created by nature, about where to celebrate the most long-awaited holiday of the year , it is worth thinking in advance. the new year season here began at the beginning of december, spending your winter holidays in the berezensky nature reserve, you will enjoy almost all the winter fun, ice fishing, horse riding sleighs, skis, snowmobiles and winter bicycles, which have a bizarre on... katraki, what else the reserve does in the winter, we’ll find out from a specialist in his field,

tour guide of the tourism department oleg shoforovich. oleg, good afternoon, oh, good afternoon, we are in a forest zoo, right now we are passing by enclosures with bears. tell me why your bears don't sleep? oh, our bears don’t sleep, for one very simple reason: hibernation for a bear is a very necessary measure, because the european... sub-type brown bear is 95% 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 as much as they can, fill up, accumulate a huge amount of fat, then they 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 there, for this reason, they actually don’t need hibernation, if you look to the right, look into the distance, you can see wolf, a couple of wolves live here, the interesting

thing is that wolves are simply unprecedented animals, firstly, we have such an interesting thing that wolves have weddings on our february 14th, that is, in fact , when we have a holiday of love, the wolves also begin a great celebration of love, a period of gono and 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 of 60% of the territories - this is one and a half times larger in size than the city of minsk, all of this is covered with continuous swamps, of absolutely all types , in these swamps, of course, our favorite cranberry grows, wolves supply vitamin c, they actually also experience all sorts of health difficulties, they have vitaminosis and the wolves come in winter, dig up these cranberries from under the snow, dig up azima in order to combat this shortage, we also have a lot of animals in the minsk zoo, and the same bears and wolves, but here you have... probably some others, we have the same wolves, our conditions are different, you know, our enclosures with animals,

which are located in a forest zoo, they were invented as a minimal natural habitat in nature, that is, this is the territory that an animal needs in the wild to live, so the animals that live here in pairs regularly reproduce, that is , they have offspring, we almost every year a family of deer brings a new fawn, that is, a rather pleasant sight, because who doesn’t rejoice at a little one. oleg, where we find ourselves now, as they say, the devil knows, somewhere in the forest, it’s generally very easy to determine the thing is, they say, if you judge by the trees, the christmas tree is the north, the 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 our mythological trail is called in the land of myths, that is, to find yourself in the land of myths and in the summer this is quite an interesting spectacle, every year we hold a festival with the mythology of szlachtmoka, where you can walk at night. navy paths, see what it all looks like, get acquainted with existing myths,

well, but you can meet them in winter, day and night, that is, when it is comfortable and your dears want, you can meet such comrades. in 2016 , an ecological trail was opened here, called in the land 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 the way our ancestors saw this world is, first of all, the world order and perception of the nature of the surrounding world, that is, the slovenian mythology is actually much 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 in completely different ways, this is

a walk in the form of various ecological trails, this is also a ski trip, we have an excursion called the white book of the forest. these are, of course, iconic walks, because it’s good to get acquainted on foot, of course, but you can also do it on horseback, and of course, if you want to learn something new for yourself, try it - such an incredible experience, there is such a thing called kotrak, it winter bike, i'm sure that sooner or later you will become familiar with it, that is, this is a thing that you need to try just to tick the box, yes i did it, and it’s also good looks good on instagram, but what about those who are not supporters of such activities, what do you offer for them? for lovers of a more passive holiday, that is, those who do not want to spend a lot of time skiing, on hiking routes, we have at least three museums, and we have the same forest zoo, that is, we can get acquainted with nature itself belarus, as a nature reserve, we can then get to know these animals live, feed them, then we can get acquainted with the world of myths and what

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