Route description

This large cycling circuit from Novopolotsk heads west to Luzhki, then connects the country roads around Mnyuta and Prozoroki before returning to its starting town. In Luzhki it passes the Church of the Nativity; near Mnyuta 2 it runs beside the Church of Our Lady, often called the Zadorozhye church. These exterior architecture stops give the journey a definite subject: one belongs to the older settlement, while the other stands at the edge of a lake-country village. Long road passages lie between them, requiring a multiday cycling plan. Overnight stays and food arrangements are not established in advance. The outing does not reach Belarusian Paryzh or automatically visit every neighbouring estate.
