Подготовка к маршруту

Route at a glance

The shoreline continually changes perspective, moving between sheltered sections and exposed headlands. Even the connecting sections remain engaging because of coastal paths, exposed headlands and sheltered bays. The main line of the experience is formed by Vitebsk, Shumilino and Vitebskie. They are spaced through the journey so that the area reveals itself gradually.

Getting there

Without a car
Travel by train to Vitebsk, Polotsk, Navapolatsk or Orsha, choosing the hub closest to the trailhead. Continue by suburban train or district bus to the settlement near the trailhead. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.
By car
The main approaches use the M3, M8, P20 and P45, followed by district roads. Do not use closed service roads to lakes and forest areas. Because the start and finish are in different places, check the return service in advance, arrange a transfer or leave a second vehicle near the finish.
Parking
Park beside a station, local council, visitor attraction or official lakeside area. Keep bus stops and forest turning areas clear.
