A place of power, history and absolute silence. The Druk Archaeological complex is a must—visit.
If you are looking for a place where you can not just walk, but literally touch the thousand—year history of Belarus, come to Drutsk. These are not just ruins and ramparts, they are the remains of one of the oldest cities in the country, which existed already in the 10th century. There was a temple here, mentioned in the Druk Gospel, and the city itself was an important point on the way "from the Varangians to the Greeks." Walking through these hills, it's hard to believe that they were filled in by human hands without the help of technology — but that's exactly what it is. Ramparts up to 20 meters high, remnants of fortifications, traces of detinets, a roundabout town and a posad — all this has been preserved and is clearly legible in the relief.
Drutsk was a rich, commercial and military center, princes lived here, battles took place, and later the dynasty of the Drutsk princes was born. Among them was Prince Semyon, the uncle of the famous Sophia Golshanskaya, the future queen of Poland. It was here that Vytautas came in 1422 to woo her.
Today, earthen fortifications, mounds, and remnants of buildings remain from the ancient city, including an economic building of the 19th century, officially recognized as a historical and cultural value. An information board with a history is installed on the site, and nearby there are observation towers, a well with a cross and a magnificent panorama of valleys and forests. And most importantly, there is complete silence here. Just the birds singing and the wind in the grass. The atmosphere is so calm and clean that you want to linger.
It's not just an interesting place, it's an open—air history textbook. A must-visit for everyone who loves Belarus, its past and nature.
Take comfortable shoes and some time, and you definitely won't regret it.

A place of great historical significance in ancient history. The Drutsky slave market attracted buyers from Ancient Russia, Byzantium and even the East. Portages on the way from the Varangians to the Greeks were of great importance in ancient Russian logistics.
Alas, since those times, the memory has been preserved only in earthen mounds. It is difficult to imagine how, without the help of machines, you can fill shafts up to 20 meters high.
Anyone who is interested in the history of the country is required to visit

A nice and peaceful place.There are architectural buildings in the area, there is a font, a roof.There is a gazebo, a Mongol. I recommend to relax in this place in the summer- imba.You can immerse yourself in harmony with nature, swim, barbecue and learn a lot of new things. The only thing I would like is to cut down the passage to krynitsa, but this question is already for the management, and everything is perfect
