her nature, her culture, her faith, her people and her generosity. you will feel it once and you will never forget it, everything here is real from all travels, but there is a place in belarus where you want to stay, so quit everything, buy a house and move to live here in the lake district. bright sun, almost gentle sea breeze oh, i know the good old braslav haven't been here for a long time. this hollywood style bracelet sign is one of the popular places to take a

selfie. in addition, close to the city beach. today i will tell you where else is be sure to take pictures and visit braslav, and places that are obvious and not so obvious. braslav puzzles, what can be seen on the walls of the local church? let's get acquainted with a man who wears both a vest and a motorcycle vest patrons and masons, who else left a mark on the castle hill, how i got into a horror movie and what else can be seen in the workshop of a local steampunk master, these creatures remember

the ice age to visit the residents themselves. you drive all the time, past lakes large and small, such a fertile land is simply not could remain without an owner for a long time, so it was inhabited more than a thousand years ago. braslav is even older than minsk for 2 years his name. they say he received from the prince of polotsk the hairstyle of the izyaslavich, but there is also a version that braslav this is from the latvian word ford, because the settlement is located between two lakes on a narrow isthmus. here everything goes along the water houses, streets and promenades. what do you think, what is common between limassol barcelona rimini and the coolest promenade? despite the

riches of the lake, braslav remained dark for a long time. a horse for tourists, except for state sanatoriums, there was no sensible infrastructure for vacationing places where they could entertain themselves, but now, when large festivals came to the city, investors and private business. braslav becomes a resort place in all good senses. you may consider me an excessive optimist, but, in my opinion, here is no worse than a seaside resort. but no. there is one summer in belarus very short to enjoy. this beach holiday. unfortunately, it doesn't last long. but that doesn't stop vacationers from coming to braslav accommodation is booked for six months, or even a year, except for the resorts of lakeside hotels, campsites, it seems that all locals just need to find their trusted host anywhere in the world for me , a cup of coffee drunk in a local cafe is much more important than 1,000 photos and i sketch this too it even works. it's hard to imagine that

once coffee in braslav could be offered in the only hotel in the center . travelers in these times. i don’t get bored at all, recharged with braslav coffee, i go to visit the locals attraction. directly opposite the catholic church there is an orthodox church, now this place is just a parking lot. previously, it was the central market square, braslav market square remained some 100 years ago, and the church has been standing here since the middle of the 18th century. during this time, it grew and expanded, so now you can see an unusual combination of walls of an old building and newer stones and bricks. the main architectural feature of the costume is the braslav mosaic. in lime mortar. look at the mosaic, it is very easy to determine the level of the old building. a church, a church, you can easily check, does a child live in your soul,

an imagination test, you can look at stones for a long time to represent someone unlike, for example, on bears, except for a mosaic costume. the catholics of braslav. there is another biker attraction that i want to see. the latest news from the world of sports for the victory against all odds we took these three games. i think all questions are best team in this country filmed in my understanding of what the guys did. this is a great feat of professionals from 90 to 100 competition days a year. our children also have 80-90 starts. i think that this race is an international

indicator. if you just reach the finish line, you are ready to run any track, and watch the world sports project arena on belarus 24 tv channel. when i first came here, of course, this greatness immediately impresses you very much. it takes something like this. oh, what a heavy pear. oh of course you don't have to push they only need to beat off such two mistresses, we ate. we all stand. what do yeast look like? you do not know by chance not so thin, they are courageous by chance cooking. and that, first of all, no. maybe the mother-in-law is coming, what helps? no, you know that comrades, what is god from twenty-fourth place in the brakes? what do you mean, how do you study at school? well, so-so. yes, i also

learned so myself and you see, everything turned out. watch a good satchel with svetlana borovskaya on our tv channel. i will not hide the fact that in braslav i will meet a xunz motorcyclist. i am came special news. hello, tell me how long have you been behind the wheel of a motorcycle. and does yours walk? yes, your work is exactly parallel to this behind the wheel of a motorcycle at the age of 13 my father had a motorcycle, minsk i asked him to try. well, it started here, uh, riding a motorcycle for 13 years, then the study was also in the seminar, i

went after the seminary. already bought a motorcycle and began to continue to engage in ezdon. tell me, i have never seen how priests live, or in particular everything, and volodya, how does your life differ from life simple person. well, it's no different, like a simple person, the only thing that differs in serving is that i serve in a saucepan. uh, i pray they work for the church. it feels like i've been hit. ah, maybe not even a xunzu, maybe not even a motorcyclist, but a person very passionate about history. here every millimeter is impregnated with some special atmosphere. well, in general, but i want to take a closer look. if possible, yes, yes, i am also passionate about collecting all sorts of exhibits. eh, i like it. that already wrote such a history book, that is, uh

also collected material like it. just old stuff like that. i want to keep it all. well, your whole collection, it revolves around the church. e, in which you serve, how kind. tell me about a few things that, uh, are really from your collection that give you an emotional tactile experience. sensual pleasure first three anything well, there are books, these are old polish prayer books. yes, you can see people know that i collect such things, some people do not appreciate. they can just throw it out to burn. alim bring me me this brings such pleasure, they are collected and several copies. eh, such prayer books. here, for me, these are very valuable ones. e things. see what a difference for a collector. this book will be valuable because it is old, but for vladimir it is something more. in general, look at how amazingly

the shirt of the clergyman and the vest of a real motorcyclist are combined. okay smut, started talking about motorcycles. let's go see yours for the first time. i went to look not just at the motorcycle, but at the means of pilgrimage. yes, yes, on two wheels everything. vladimir visits holy places and more than one of vladimir 's colleagues in the church ride motorcycles. so not every biker, maybe a xendem, but every hyung can be a biker. but my motorcycle has been beauty and i see it, two cylinders, a four-stroke v-shaped. it's a honda transal, a legendary model, tell me it's a touring endura bike that will stand impossible, how far. you rode on it. well, in belarus, i also did the nesvizh castle round trip to

one day went abroad all the big traveled. i want to draw your attention to the badges on vests. volodya, each of them indicates the place where volodya came to us on his own, and on his honda, and accordingly participated in some event a little. tell me here they are here i also worked in poland and went to motorcycle rallies. uh, well, those are polish motorcycle rally badges. and by the way, about all the more. i look, i always wanted to ask, forgive the ignorant. i know it has something to do with the catholic church. yes , this fish, what does it mean? well it called ichthys. uh, it's fish in greek. eh, so, when there were persecutions of christians, then christians could, well, they had some kind of password, then they used this sign, the fish of the swamps. there is nothing better than a ride with a new friend. if you show me a couple of good places, let's go. watching braslav from the wheels is a feast for the eyes, no wonder that here every year solemnly open the

motoseason and in general biker life. here it boils, i wonder if the locals know that everything is going well under one of the helmets, they swept, vladimir here. we are near castle hill. i would like to give you my book and here is a magnet, because i already have to go to work. now i have a good friend throwing in. thanks, see you on the road. bye bye. we parted at the castle hill not by chance, because it was the birthplace of braslav right here in the 9th century, between two lakes our ancestors founded the settlement there was also a castle, but a wooden one, therefore it has not survived to this day. but vladimir was right. castle hill is really a good place to start your journey. bravo, the city is visible as if in the palm of your hand on castle hill for a minute. you can even forget

that the surface of the lake is in front of you, it seems that belarus has its own access to the sea, but only earthen ramparts have survived from the ancient fortification. people in these lands appeared a thousand and a half years ago at first. these were langals, the ancestors of today's latvians, but the slavs joined them already in the tenth century on castle hill, you can walk between the wooden sculptures of famous citizens or look at memorial signs. and no one really understands. who are the masons, but but everyone knows that the all-seeing eye is their symbols. he is on the coat of arms, braslava although our people. it seems to me that the version that says that the isosceles triangle is the holy trinity will be familiar, but, and the eye naturally belongs to god, although stanislav pyatovsky heraldists, the

highest point of braslav is by no means a church, nor a church, nor any tower, it is a monument to the doctor stanislav. which in his time did a lot of good deeds for the garage, it is believed that the monument to stanislav narbut resembles a candle, a symbol of mercy and healing, such was the life of this man, who managed to get him appointed to braslav and treated the sick for free, if they had nothing to pay, the narbut loved the bracelets for everyone with his heart he was a director and an amateur theater actor, he published a newspaper, the spirit of a braslav citizen created a fire brigade. it is not surprising that a monument to him was erected with the money of ordinary people, but the monument also had a practical application earlier on at the top there was a lantern, it was the duty of the policeman to light it every evening. he served as a kind of beacon for local fishermen. fishing in the braslav region, indeed. fantastic it is believed that only the lazy do not fish here, but i want to

introduce you to a person who can boast of a catch with everything in other areas. i want to see it. you had breakfast today. and by the way, by the way, no, i didn’t have time, it’s not a question, because i’ll feed you today, the most delicious breakfast, the breakfast of a champion. today we are with you mashul cook tuna on a pillow from the movie with berry sauce, as well as pumpkin puree. i'm already salivating, how delicious it sounded. let's start my day with a glass of water with lemon. generally a thrill. well, this is how i get the perfect breakfast, after which i run to conquer up. you knew that in order not to cry, it is necessary to

moisten the knife with cold water before cutting the onion, so i will tell you more. i’m even ordinary and i also piss the onion myself. well, no way. for the sauce, i need an orange, and i'll take care of it. pepper ready, let's send it to the pan, watch the breakfast of champions culinary project on our tv channel. at this show , athletes test their strength and dexterity, not physically, but intellectually. what is the name of the main trophy for which the team of the national hockey league is fighting for the gagarin cup of the national hockey league nhl stanley cup that's right, what is the name of the german football championship? that's right. name a popular soviet song about hockey,

written to the music of alexandra pakhmutova in 1968, so that they don’t happen used to giving up. what club does the french footballer, kylian mbappe, play for? and this is psg oh, it was difficult, it was difficult. let's watch a video replay, watch the intellectual project of the head game on our tv channel. each person sees the world in their own way. ruslan is a

real fantasy. hello ruslan, this is simply unimaginable. i entered. my jaw dropped. i was scared and delighted at the same time. who is the skinner or backbiter from the cartoon big good giant? well, just how it is taken without an image is incredible. that is i want to ask a lot of questions. why are you doing these jobs? what are they made of? and how are you inspired to create these ones in my opinion, so that it usually seems to me, well, the composition here is the inside of the beer bottles empty plastic bottles completely wooden frame someone says that plastic bottles need to be destroyed, and not, as it were, everything is possible and that this is perhaps the best use of plastic bottles that i have seen in my life. he is not a palm tree. there are forty, how did it start? it's like in

one great moment. you realized that you must create such a friend for yourself. well , we have new year's holidays, in general i designed this mask for myself, as if to put on my hands , i could also drive these leggings into ordinary gloves, and then somehow. well, in general, it’s bad to run with vision and decided to make him a torso after all, well, not all at once for one year, only the head, arms, legs, i’m putting on the torso for the second year already attention, relax someone by profession, if they have assembly work, here you know, i mean, it's your hobby. it your attraction is your inner world. after the skin maker or gavryusha, as ruslan affectionately calls him. he introduced me to the rest of his strange company. first there was the gonchar, a shoemaker with a head from a pot and a heart from a mattress, then a muscled security , which ruslan leaves instead of a stuffed animal, and

which more than once scared the neighbors, to be honest, i would be scared too. as far as i understand modern art, it's pure cyberpunk, it's cool. you didn't count. how many items make up this composition? look let's try the gun one and two three, four five six seven eight, okay lost count. where did you collect all this from? i'm one year 10-15 years, probably, and when you collected you already saw the result that you get from the pipe. now it will already be a liver, just like hands, i also saw that all these can’t be, they will also be fingers. it seems to me that there is a really complete feeling that when we leave here the door to all these creatures will close. i'll just start. in fact, ruslan's characters are crying for big cinema. this is how i see fantasy, or a movie on a fairy tale with them

participation, lord filmmakers. take note. i am so inspired by your work. i want to see everything. and you stink. what place do you know, ruslan now i understand where you draw inspiration for your work, here is every object. it's a whole class story. i noticed that your characters' heads are made of clay. and in general, you have a lot of clay products in your workshop. and in particular, by the way, pottery, which looks. well, it's so beautiful and beautiful. i believe that you have a separate love for this history of ceramics. yes well, here it is in the roots, because my grandfather had a brick factory there. recently, i just found out. so this is generic, so i learned that

ruslan is not only a locksmith and a talented sculptor in the steampunk style, but also an experienced ceramist, will his toys be sold in souvenir shops, braslava under the stigma of ruslan and once a crock with such a cream will tell his descendants story of an unusual master. in general, in london there is a museum of madame, tussauds. i sincerely believe that after a while there will be a museum of mr. labutti, i also wandered around the museum braslav tussauds and dirt, like ordinary things, thanks to ruslan, turns into objects of art. and again returned to the city, which cannot but inspire.

every millimeter every leaf reminds you that braslav is a resort town. you look at the small tangled streets , courtyards with front gardens, verandas, beauty. what amazing roofs i said and this is the polish zakopane style boasted to the local explained to me that such roofs were made solely so that the snow did not linger on them, but rolled down, by the way, buildings in the zakopane style were typical for western belarus. the author of the project is a villian architect, juliusz, kloss, his work impressed the vacationers so much that they jokingly began to call braslav severnaya nitsiy. oh my god, that's sweet. there's a little free library right in the middle of town. you can take a book. read it at home. and return back works in any weather. at any time of the day, purely

tourist things are calmly combined in braslav with the spirit of the soviet era, the unchanged building of the city executive committee with lenin and zero kilometer with the distance to the capital. well done here is a resourceful story. i saw only in the vatican you can buy a beautiful postcard with an image and send it to anywhere in the world, but the main wealth of the city is, of course, the lakes, a legacy that the braslav region inherited from a descended glacier. total lake area. here is 130 m². most of them are interconnected by ducts. i want to see it. braslav region is, first of all, lakes, so the motorcycle will wait a

little while i go for a walk on water. good afternoon my name is vladimir alexander braslav, this is definitely a resort town. well , where is the resort town without a pleasure steamer. and maybe it will seem to you that this is too poppy for a real traveler, but i don’t agree. the fact is that it is starting to rain heavily, and now it is simply impossible to ride a motorcycle, but to get to know the city and the region from the water. not everyone knows, but in the region of the braslav lakes a lot of junipers grow, thanks to which the air here is really healing, and the entire kurortny area is so

historically, braslav has always been a tourist area since the 19th century. he was favored by the aristocrats. summer residents, a little later several yacht clubs appeared here. well, everything is as it is now. and although the lake is not the sea, but where in one panorama you will see the water surface , forests, hills and many islands. there are more than 100 islands on the braslav lakes, specifically on this lake there is an island of love and separation. well, of course, to attract tourists, it was named that way, but it is remarkable. he is the fact that he once stood on it, a real castle lakes. there is even an island with its own lake, as well as an island where crayfish were mined and taken all the way to prussia, everything travels around belarus beautiful, except for the weather, sometimes warm, sometimes cold, but sash please tell me something in a nutshell back, like everyone else

know the land of blue lakes. how many lakes are there? well, in our district there are about 250 reservoirs 250. that is, in fact, in every house there is a lake, you can say this. yes, which is the deepest, the lake is the deepest, it is considered the lake of hair of the north south hair. yes there i think and meters deep, there is a hole, and a transparent, very transparent lake is considered azure, because due to the fact that, uh, the bottom is conditionally blue clay, blue clay. yes, from afar it seems that the water, as if azure. and, by the way, i know that even small relic crustaceans live in the south hair. here are such yes, yes there are. relic crustaceans went to the south volos from the ice ages. this is the only lake in belarus where five of their species live at once, for life they need clean oxygen-rich water, so without any laboratory analyses. you can imagine the quality of the water in the south hair, and

they say you can just drink from the north hair. what is the largest lake in brasla. well, the largest lake, uh, is considered to be the lake-aggregates, which we are walking on right now. there are lakes along which the border with the baltic states is also very huge . you can also swim there in a boat to fish . well, yes, you need to have your own pass , let's say the border palace and the passport are still jokes, but what we are now discussing is this instruction for traveling through fraternal without documents nowhere, the border area is not only one of the largest lakes in the braslav region, but also the fifth largest lake in belarus, and because of the depth. it occupies the third place in terms of water reserves, second only to naroch and osveisky. an interesting fact, 11 years flow into the lake, and only one

troika flows out; that because of the weather, the ninth is able to change color before the rain to become lead. sash we are right with you hit to the side in a wave will not cover and a wave will not cover. we are now in the part of the lake where the calmer water is more aged. and i told you that the brother of a man is no worse than any sea power on the lakes such waves that hoo-hoo real storm. but with my guide i am calm. sasha can be said to be born in the lake and knows all his habits, sasha's son is the same and his son will be like him. these are the braslav genes tell me your top 3 places where every tourist must go to one of the most beautiful places. it's a gram, yak so called where, probably every visitor visits. that is. well, there i've been there

wonderful you stay. it's not easy to climb a mountain, but there are tourist camps, equipped places are obtained, well. this is the time that the ninth lake is directly on the boat to ride boats. this is the two you remember our recreation centers. which are located on various reservoirs, which, as it were, can also be visited, but in general, what i wanted to say to do was sketched out to her, which, it seems to me, every traveler will find than to occupy yourself for every taste and budget. consider yourself a good word from minsk 240 km from vitebsk 230, in order to get here from brest and or gomel you need to cross the whole country at all, but the belarusian lakeland leaves no one indifferent, see you on its waterways.
