A place where we will definitely return more than once! We were in Berezenskoye for the first time
We rented a house in Nivki here for a day. A great place for a quiet family vacation. There is a beautiful forest around, the Buzyanka river, where we managed to fish. My daughter said she wanted to live here, she liked it so much. We visited Lake Plavno and the hotel complex of the same name! We went to the beach there and swam. We also visited the forest zoo. The bison and the wolves have conquered my heart. Then we had an interesting horse riding tour. That's how much you didn't regret ordering it. We had a great ride in the woods for an hour. We saw fields, a pine forest, a riding swamp and even a bear's cockatoos. The horses are beautiful! Layla, Mango, Zephyr and Klava all obeyed us well and the walk was calm. I've caught zen! And all thanks to the instructors - Lucy and Olga, thank you very much! Lucy instructed us in detail before leaving and suggested that we practice on the site first, gave a lot of important advice. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! Let's go back again!
We were a family, everyone really liked it. A magnificent zoo, large aviaries, animals are in their natural habitat. Among the inhabitants are moose, deer, fallow deer, wolves, and bears. We walked along the ecological trail with the guide Daria. Thank you very much for an exciting and informative tour! Time flew by unnoticed. For those who have not been here, I recommend that you definitely come!
We are quietly delighted. We also visited a complex rope excursion, a kayaking tour and a walking tour of the ecotrope. Unity with nature, silence, air, white herons taking off, a man swimming, mushrooms, gorgeous, friendly instructors... It's unforgettable and wonderful. Thank you very much
We rested at the Serguch hotel, took a two-day weekend tour. I liked the room very much, everything is clean, comfortable and in place. The restaurant serves delicious, relatively inexpensive food. The ecotrope was amazing, everything is beautiful and interesting. The guide Maria is beyond praise. The person, it seems to me, lives in this business and it was very interesting and informative with her. The honey Museum was interesting, the guide who showed us these places just had an amazing tour and it was very interesting. The zoo will be interesting to those who would like to see animals and feed them, especially the moose stands out against this background. She always eats :-) . The place is beautiful, it is definitely worth visiting and it is also worth your money. We liked it and it was interesting. Thank you.
An awesome event is the festival of Belarusian ethno culture "Shlyakh Tsmoka".
Authentic character. I learned so many new things in a day that I haven't known all my life.
I visited it for the first time, although it's been 5 years! Years! I recommend definitely visiting next year!!!
I liked everything. We were at the festival on 17-18.08.24. Minus 2 stars for the organization of the toilet issue. They took money from people for admission, from artisans too, and so on. And we did not provide for the most basic questions. The toilets have not been cleaned in the Prosveshchenich House for more than a day. Trash cans are clogged above the toilets, people are in sight, water is underfoot, stink. And on the second day, everyone went to the unmade toilets. Shame on the organizers for humiliating the participants and guests of the festival.
We were on 02/18/24 with an excursion from St. Petersburg. Well, I really liked it, and not expected! I especially remember the guide Viktor Gennadievich, who is very enthusiastic and, apparently, loves his job, bravo!
A wonderful place where you can find yourself face to face with nature. We stopped by for a guided tour of the ecotrope in the afternoon, we were a little late, but the staff kindly agreed to additionally conduct it for us! As a result, we were completely delighted: we walked through the forest and swamp, climbed the tower, saw the dew drop! Natalia Vorobey - well done! Thank you very much.
We were at the festival of Tsmoka 2023 Trains.
There was a moment of "wow", and there was also something after which I just wanted to make facepalm ...
For some reason it all started before the festival: on Instagram, the organizers did not answer banal questions about what is included in the ticket price in the public domain (and the ticket was expensive), the timing program was also impossible nowhere to see until the event itself...
the performances on the far stage and the fire show were quite spectacular and cool.
After that, as far as I understand, there should have been a trail.
Thanks to the organizers for thinking about how to occupy those waiting near the long queue. But the trail itself is just a disappointment... There are no explanations for the characters who are on the trail, you just walk for almost an hour through a dark forest, where the heroes from the myth are periodically highlighted and smoke is coming... And this is for a fee!
Separately, I would like to highlight the museums of the reserve itself. The exposition is interesting and the guides are good.

A wonderful place, definitely worth a trip! Entertainment for every taste and there is something to do: ecotrope, cycling, rafting, rope town, excursions, and in the evening kebabs and outdoor recreation. Unfortunately, the online booking and the work of the staff upset us, we did not solve this situation on the spot without a conflict, but we found a compromise.
It's a beautiful place. We went on an excursion with the class. There are a lot of impressions. The children liked everything very much! The nature is beautiful! It's breathing great. There is such beauty around as in a winter fairy tale. The animals are all well-groomed. The staff is friendly.
A pleasant place with well-groomed animals and territory. It is definitely worth visiting, walking and feeding the animals! Pleasant staff, I especially want to mention Nastya (riding instructor), thanks to whom our horseback ride was safe, interesting, and informative.
I recommend it to everyone and we will definitely come again!
Thanks to the guide Oleg Shafarovich for the interesting information that he presented in an emotionally memorable form. I really liked the tour, I will recommend to all my friends to visit the Berezinsky Nature Reserve.
The assessment for the festival of the Shlyakh Tsmoka 2023
I didn't like it:
Some character costumes are very bad
Half of the program has been shifted
The tent is far away and it's just a mowed field, well, at least the toilets brought water and firewood
A night tour of the trail is worse than any criticism
The ticket is already expensive by Belarusian standards, 55 rubles, so the most worthless part is also the night tour costs an additional 15 rubles. From a bow, shoot 5 r per arrow. It wouldn't be a pity to have money if it was cool, but it feels like you're being milked. Pay, come in, and then it doesn't matter
It's a shame that with such opportunities it is possible to organize a festival for 9-10, but it is organized for 4-5.
We visited the reserve on July 19, 2022 with our family. Without a guide, we would not have remembered this place so much. Many thanks to Viktor Gennadievich, he conducted a tour of the honey museum at the highest level!!! I am not a fan of bees, but I have learned a lot of useful and interesting things about bees. The only drawback is that in the house of the bee museum, instead of the smell of honey, it smelled of some kind of solvent, and I really wanted to go into the house and plunge into the magical aroma of honey!!!
We were on a guided tour on 01/15/2022. A wonderful place to explore nature. You can visit the ecological museum and listen to interesting stories from the guides. The animals themselves are in spacious enclosures and a natural environment. Wolves, moose, deer, bison Valera and others. If desired, there is a hotel and a cafe. In summer, eco-trails and kayaking are available. A great option for a weekend event 120 km from Minsk. I recommend.
I've traveled half the world, but of course there's a trend for traveling within the country now. I really enjoyed visiting the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve. In winter, coming to such elegant and fluffy animals in snowy weather is just a fairy tale.
A polite guard greets you at the entrance and gives you a brief consultation on the reserve.
The reserve is based on a forest zoo, an ecological trail, a rope town and a nature museum. Several hotel complexes, in particular, on the territory near the Museum of Nature, the Serguch hotel complex with a restaurant.
The forest zoo is filled with the cutest animals, which are friendly with visitors. Given the minimal fame, very few people visit the complex. Therefore, the atmosphere can be said to be homely.
Don't forget to bring a large orange with you. The Umka bear will give you a whole performance of eating it, and perhaps even in a good mood it will swing its paws up in the snow.
The moose will talk to you in its own language. Don't forget to treat him to a loaf.
In general, there were fears that all the animals would sleep, but it turned out that they were fluffy and attractive and were glad to meet.
The complex also offers unique guided tours of bear hunting in real nature and more. In summer, water skiing is added.
A secret gem for tourists! A huge area of untouched nature, where the path from the Varangians to the Greeks passed, the path of migratory birds, a huge concentration of bears.
The big five of Europe live here, including the Bison.
There is a riding arena.
I definitely recommend it!
I wish the park development and popularization. With your capabilities, you should have 500,000 on Instagram, not 1,000.
Jyakui!
We visited the reserve, the Velesova Noch tour.I compare it with the same tour in 2021: the tour along the myth trail was uninteresting, we passed by Baba Yaga's hut, not a word about mermaids.You need to ask Oleg for a guide, especially if you are going for the first time.There was also no beautiful Swamper with his jokes and jokes.Dinner by the campfire:they replaced the fish soup with a sausage, which needs to be fried. There is not enough space around the campfire.That year, all people were seated on benches and Oleg, the guide, told a story about Baba Yaga (briefly and interestingly).
Beautiful nature, the main excursion path is convenient even in rainy weather. Interestingly, a pier on the marshes and a tower with a good view are made. In the zoo, most animals have spacious enclosures, it looks decent and authentic (except that the bear does not have a very large enclosure). There is a bison. The guides tell interesting stories about the nature and history of the reserve.
Smart, charismatic, talented and simply interesting guides (special greetings to Oleg and Viktor Gennadievich)! It is quite possible to stay on the territory for a week, there are rafting trips, hiking / horseback riding / cycling. A good (quite for your money) hotel. Beautiful nature. We will definitely come back.
We have been here more than once. There is a lot of space for walking with children. The animals are clearly visible, except for wolves (they usually hide, but they can also be found). There were also pets: pigs, chickens, ducks, geese, rabbits, goats, etc. I also highly recommend visiting the Museum of animals, birds and fish of Belarus. To be close. It is more profitable to take a ticket to both the forest park and the museum at once
The rooms at the Serguch hotel are excellent. New , clean , cozy. The room has two separate single beds and + a folding sofa. The room costs at least 90 rubles a day.
On the territory of the reserve there is a hotel, a shop, several museums ...
Excursions to the forest, to the zoo, to the swamps, kayaking.
There is nothing to do on the territory without excursions. There is not much place to walk.
Paid gazebos and a relative rope park...
a large swimming pool and a normal restaurant would not hurt.
The restaurant is zero. There is no food, you can drink coffee and then according to the schedule. Those who rest for a long time , go somewhere nearby to eat........
4* for the cool rooms and the guide Denis and Alexander
A nice, quiet, reasonably budget place. Interesting eco-trails, you can see animals and birds, there are various museums. Barbecue is available on site. Very budget-friendly delicious food and good cozy service.
A great place that has restored faith in domestic tourism. The Serguch hotel, although state-owned, is quite decent, + democratic food prices. The only disadvantage of the complex is that there is nothing to do in the evening, no excursions or museums, just drink beer with a barbecue or watch TV in the room. I strongly advise you to take food to the zoo with animals (cups of 1p each), I managed to feed a moose, a deer, and even a bison with my hands, an indescribable feeling)) I plan to return to go kayaking and do a horse ride (these are the excursions)
We had a rest with our family on August 1-2, 2020, stayed at the Serguch hotel complex. Everything is super, the staff is fabulous, polite, pleasant people. The receptionist at the reception is just gold. The rooms are clean, modern, well-maintained.We walked the ecological trail with the guide Elena, she is a super literate and interesting woman. The forest zoo, the rope town, everything is fine, the air is clean to the point of dizziness. Go ahead, you won't regret it!
The place is calm, not crowded! There is a parking place for the car. Parking is free. Animal feed is sold at the entrance to the reserve. They can be fed to the inhabitants of the reserve. It's spacious! The children liked it!
Were on 07/18/2020
I liked everything very much! 10/10!
1) Walking tour of the eco-trail. The guide Victor told everything very interestingly, the nature is beautiful. The only thing, the organizers, please (!!) for idiots like us, please warn them to wear closed clothes on this tour and take repellents with them, since half of the people from the tour just had their focus shifted, and they did not listen to the guide, but fought off mosquitoes.
2) Horse riding tour, just an incredible feeling! Not only were the accompanying girls stunningly soft and cheerful, but they also took a bunch of beautiful photos during the walk! The quality of the service is at the highest level!! They have an attitude towards visitors as if they have known you for 10 years, and not for the first time they see you, it's very cool, 100/10!
3) The zoo, very cool, saw and touched a bison, deer, looked at bears, touched goats
We will definitely come back for kayaks, a rope town and a bike tour
Thank you very much for the tour of the ecotrope by the local guide and for the interesting story in the museum of myths.The purest air and amazing forest.
Great place to spend the weekend. The animals are well-groomed, the enclosures and the territory are clean and tidy. The food in the cafe is delicious, homemade and not expensive.
I really liked it, it's interesting. A very cheerful guide. The purest air. We were with the corporation, a very interesting program. Everyone was satisfied, the main thing is to be lucky with the weather
I really liked it. It was fascinating, informative and fun to view the exhibits in the Museum of Nature of the Berezensky Biosphere Reserve and animals in aviaries, accompanied by entertaining stories and various interesting facts from the guide Natasha - cheerful and endowed with an excellent sense of humor. THANK YOU VERY MUCH😉
Overall, a good zoo, lots of animals. I was more pleased with the part with pets.
We were at the end of June, and there are a lot of insects, so I advise you to take repellent products with you)
As well as a snack, as there are many places in all territories where you can relax and eat.
We recently visited the Berezinsky Atmospheric Reserve. Nature reserve – this concept was something far away for me, from another life. A friend suggested that there are meaningful tours of the ecotrope, where they talk about the nature of Belarus. That's what attracted me. In fact, everything turned out to be grander and more ambitious. The reserve itself occupies 85 thousand hectares (!!!), its bases are located at a distance of several kilometers from each other. We lived in the very center. The most vivid impressions were from excursions and from visiting aviaries, however, we simply did not have enough time for the rest. After visiting the excursions, I finally understood what the concept of "ecotourism" means - these are tourist excursions. Once upon a time, I wanted to spend a vacation kayaking on a hike. But it turned out to be unworkable. Firstly, it was necessary to find a group and be included in it, secondly, to get equipment, and thirdly, to take a vacation at a strictly set time. Immediately upon your arrival, you are given an instructor, a kayak, and an oar, and all this is rolled right to the lake. You swim, and they tell you about the history of these places along the way. I didn't even know about such possibilities earlier. Also, everyone liked the tour of the ecotrope. Natasha, the instructor, was able to tell us, in particular, things about birds that I did not know, although I am interested in this topic, including scientific research. The aviaries also did not disappoint. They keep wounded birds and animals there, and they have created the best possible places for them. It is impossible to do this in private conditions – there are not enough funds or land. We have changed our opinion about the transfer of Vasilissa's bear cub to the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve. After all, the reserve did not fight for the bear cub, and the decision to transfer the bear cub to the reserve was a surprise. Nevertheless, Vasilissa has created good conditions, it can be seen from her that the bear is in a good mood.
There seems to be everything you can do for outdoor activities. And horses, and a rope town, and fishing. You can come several times and try something new. The hotel administrator, Natalia, tried to make our stay as comfortable as possible in terms of everyday life. We did not expect this to be such a grandiose institution, and only the most positive impressions remained from visiting it.
It is a very interesting place, quiet and peaceful, kept in large enclosures, not to be compared with the Minsk Zoo. For the bear, be sure to take oranges, he loves them and eats funny😁
20. 11.2019 my husband and I were lucky enough to visit this fabulous place. We took the "Romantic Weekend" tour For a little money, we were accommodated in a nice two-room room with all amenities))) The only negative is the petals of ARTIFICIAL flowers scattered on the bed and other interior items, ostensibly to create an atmosphere of romance)) we were fed lunch, breakfast and dinner, it was delicious and a lot! We conducted amazing excursions, for which special thanks to the Governor Viktor Gennadievich! He is an amazing and very sincere Person! A walking encyclopedia.! In the evening, a film screening was arranged for the two of us with a film at our discretion! We also had a romantic tour of the reserve on horseback. And at the end, we went through an exciting adventure in the rope town.
1.5 days spent in the reserve left the deepest emotions and memories. Thank you so much for your hospitality!!!
The organization is disgusting!!! We booked earlier At 11.00 from Vitebsk, asked to arrive at 10.45, on our part we complied with all requests, but it turned out that someone was late and the pads turned out to be 1.5 hours, with our punctual arrival, no one met on arrival, they just got through to the specified phone number!!! The guide did not explain anything, they also tried to accuse us that the driver who brought us had gone somewhere!!! Tobizhwe ourselves should have guessed that the program was changing places and instead of the ordered animation show, we had to go on an excursion to the aviaries with animals!!!
Something like that!!!
A very beautiful and interesting place) friendly staff) a good place for walking and relaxing) thank you so much for the fascinating tour of the ecological trail to Alexey)
We visit very often, it is interesting to watch the animals that I saw when I was little, and now they have grown up. All animals want to communicate with people, come close. Everything is neat and clean. The museum is also good
Protected forests. Good and relatively inexpensive housing, food. There are many different excursions. Conservative leadership and liberal staff, guides. There are more chances to get on the tour if you rent a place. Eco-trails, aviaries with animals. 120 km from Minsk. Lakes, fishing. Normal houses in the Nivki complex, cafes on site. According to the guides, I recommend asking Oleg Fasharovich. Young, erudite, open-minded, loves his job and nature, with a sense of humor, will tell a lot of interesting things about the reserve, turn immersion in nature into a fun and exciting adventure. There are a lot of paid excursions in the reserve, the money is relatively average, but it's worth it. The Berezensky Nature Reserve is a great option to relax, reboot, discover something new in the seemingly well-known and ordinary Belarusian nature.
Everything is well maintained, but the excursions are boring, the trails are not the most interesting, the trail on the blue lakes will be more picturesque and interesting, but this place is worth a visit.
We were here in late summer. The cashier is pleasant to talk to. Affordable prices, especially for students. You can even buy a rabbit. I strongly advise you.
Nature Museum on 3 out of 5
I liked the "forest zoo", although not a large number of animals and many could not be seen, because it was hot and they were hiding. The wolves, the bear, the red deer, the young elk, the pony were surprised...
The pony and the young elk were happy to take pictures and for this they received treats.
The most pleasant impressions from the visit. Well-groomed contact animals in aviaries. An enthusiastic girl in her field leads an excursion to the museum of mythology. Amazing nature. Lots of giant well-fed ravens))). The Museum of Nature with stuffed animals is also very interesting and informative. At the center for environmental education, they taught how to turn candles out of wax. You could additionally take the cooking material with you. We went to Maslenitsa this year and were treated to pancakes with blueberry jam and tea. And at the end of the tour - delicious buckwheat with meat and mulled wine, cooked in cauldrons over an open fire. There is also a hotel here. You can come for more than one day and live. It's nice inside, there's a bar and a restaurant.
Only products of our own production are missing (for example, honey, starkey), although there are simply souvenir shops in the museum and near the aviaries. You can also go horseback riding for a nominal fee. It's a wonderful place. I recommend it to everyone!!!
Clean air, clean territory. A good guide, everything is decent. There is one caveat ... Animals in a contact zoo should be cleaner!! Children touch them with their hands, feed them..
you're coming from the ecotrope, you looked at nature. You're heading to the hotel. You see a huge sawdust factory. Dump trucks go back and forth. There is dust. After a couple of minutes, you realize that all the production is right next to the hotel on its territory.
The service is very, very lame, although you don't build huge expectations.
The rooms are spacious. It is divided into 2 bedrooms and an intermediate walk-through room with a TV and a refrigerator. One of the bedrooms has air conditioning.
There are no mosquito nets, and there are a lot of insects trying to fly in.
There is no sound insulation on the second floor. The disco from the ground floor will continue in your room. Everything is much better on the fourth floor.
A quiet and peaceful place
