Belarus was formerly called Belorussia which literally means „White Russia“. Colour entails freedom in Slavic culture.

Belarus also has a rich history and unique cultural heritage, with hundreds of architectural monuments dating back to the 12th century.

Belarus offers amazing countryside and wildlife. Picturesque villages, ancient castles and monasteries, scenic landscapes, marshlands, deep forests, and thousands of lakes welcome nature-lovers, culture fans and sport enthusiasts.

Vast plain of the country is heavily covered with forests where birches, oaks, maple and pine trees dominate and obviously it has also a rich and diverse fauna.

Here one can find European bison, elk and deer, wild boar and wolf, bear and fox, beaver, lynx and myriad birds.

You can get accommodation in comfortable hotels or rest homes combining adequate service level with staying at natural reserves and National Parks. Here you will be offered everything you need for a real stimulating rest – comfort, health exercises, sports, entertainments – from a steam-bath to hunting and excursions.

For those who understand “merging with nature” literally another variant would be suitable – popular Belarusian tourist marches: on a horse, boat, canoe or on your own feet, on land or by rivers and lakes – choose what you like!
