Legends of Belarusian Flora

Route at a glance

The landscape is closely tied to history and visible traces of the past. An unhurried pace leaves time to notice old streets, historic sites and surviving architectural details rather than focusing only on the finish. Named places along the way include Minsk, Malyavki and Nature Trail Legendy belorusskoi flory. Together they give the walk a clear sequence and make the area easier to remember.
