A wonderful place for nature lovers and outdoor activities. I visited there and was impressed by the picturesque surroundings and the diversity of flora and fauna.
One of the advantages is the opportunity to spend time in nature away from the hustle and bustle of the city. It is also worth noting the friendly and helpful staff (guides) who are always ready to help and share interesting information.

The place is great! The view of the swamp is just super! Beautiful nature. Mosquitoes, vipers - everything is present)) There will be enough thrills for the girls. It is not difficult to pass, the distance is not very large. Of course, there are disadvantages. And it's not even that the boards are not whole everywhere and everything is wobbling under you, as for me it's even more interesting, it's a swamp)). But the grass is not mowed down to the swamp along the trail and it is not very convenient to walk through the tall grass. And so, of course, I definitely recommend visiting this location

It's beautiful, it's better to go in the fall to also catch cranberries. The wooden flooring itself is falling apart in places. There is a very cool lake at the end of the trail, if you are lucky with the weather, you can swim. It just doesn't make sense to go to the trail, you need to include it in the route with other attractions.

A wonderful place that must be visited with a guide. To see all the beauty of nature with your own eyes, to touch, to breathe - it's just necessary for relaxation. I recommend it to those who can and like to walk a lot.

If possible, be sure to visit this place. A unique natural object. Well equipped in terms of approach here and security. At the same time! It is not spoiled by civilization. Well, the swamps themselves are gorgeous. And the air, and the views, and cranberries with mushrooms. It can't be described like that, you need to visit here yourself, and then everything will become clear!)

If you arrive outside the bird flight season and after picking cranberries, and without binoculars, then there is nothing more to do there. Also, the disadvantages include (if you are not lucky) the influx of excursions. People gather like on the avenue during rush hour + high-tempo excursions. "A little gape and trample." A baby stroller would be an extremely bad idea. Those who want to feel and get into it . We need to take another tour, with an overnight stay and transitions through the bog in this swamp. Then it's already a tenner. And so..... just for fans of botany. There is also an option to arrive by car on a weekday. And walk around for your own pleasure. However, I did not try the "weekday" myself, but only with a guide, then I realized that I had to take my car and go.
PS.
Binoculars will really help to spend time, especially during the flight of birds.

We were at the end of the longest daylight day of 2024. There was a wind, there were not many mosquitoes. They were only in the area from the parking lot to the gazebos, we passed this section at a fast pace. Then the mosquitoes were blown away. I didn't have any repellents with me.
The pristine nature around is fascinating. The silence is amazing, only the wind and the cuckoo broke it.
The flooring is leaky in places, but it is being fixed. We got there without getting our feet wet.
Cranberries are still green, it was not possible to eat blueberries and strawberries. Come to cranberries in autumn.
If you love nature, I definitely recommend you to visit on a par with nature.

A great and interesting place, the last 7 km of the gravel path, there are benches, toilets. At the beginning of summer it is dry, you can walk in any shoes, of course the boards are leaky in places, you need to look at your feet. The landscape is changing a lot, so don't be lazy to reach the end, it's worth it. Well, insects, it's better to use repellents, it's a swamp. And so, of course, a unique place, you can feel the strength and power of nature, I recommend it 100%!

An atmospheric place. Beautiful landscape, interesting stands along the trail. The disadvantage is that in some places the flooring is not in very good condition. It is definitely worth visiting.

Quite an interesting place. But it is better either to read about it, or it is better to take a guide, then the walk will be much more informative and useful. In the end, you can swim in the lake, according to the guide, it has healing properties. Also nearby is the Vyata waterfall, I also recommend a look.

It's quiet, it smells delicious, it's beautiful.
It's not easy to walk. Boots are needed at least knee-high. And better fishing ones)))) children of 5 years old walked a total of 3 km and ran out of steam) adults were able to do more and further)

Super fun for teenagers and their parents. We surprised our friend a lot. One minus. At the entrance, no drin is distributed to measure the swamp. I had to take an improvised tool. Along the way, you can eat cranberries, if they are ripe😄 Be sure to wear swimsuits if it's warm. There is a lake at the end of the trail. And the heat makes you want to plunge into it. We were satisfied. I recommend everyone to visit this place.

It is necessary to go to the central day and thoughtfully go and look at the surroundings of the swamp.
The idea is interesting, but who has a forest nearby is not interesting.
It is 12 km long, not looped, i.e. you go only forward, and at the end you come back and the views are the same.
Take a repellent, there are a lot of mosquitoes.

Beautiful views, untouched nature. Very informative. I recommend taking protection from mosquitoes. It is quite possible to walk along the trail not only in boots, but also in sports shoes. One-way route 5 km

It is absolutely necessary to visit. The weather doesn't matter. If it rains from raincoats. A place of strength and unity with nature. Be sure to use rubber boots and mosquito repellents. Be sure to climb the observation tower. From the highway, the road passes through villages and fields. There is no asphalt. Slowly

A great place, a great atmosphere, spent 2 hours for a walk, swam in the lake and made a detour of 200 km by car for this and it was definitely worth it. I really liked it, although the weather was so-so. The real nature

Lovers of nature and outdoor walks will definitely come here. Walking on wooden bridges is not tedious, you can also wear sneakers, the views are fascinating, the air is clean. Breathe deeply, holding your breath except from admiration of beauty. The truth clouds the way to these places a little. To get to them, you will have to shake a little on a dirt road. But not for so long.

Very cool. An unforgettable experience. Comparing with something is not right. This is a separate story. I never thought that once I got into a swamp, figuratively speaking, I would be delighted. And I also went swimming in the lake. It has its own energy. Such a place of power. I didn't want to leave.

Of the disadvantages, just the longitudinal arrangement of the boards on the trail makes you constantly look at your feet so as not to fall through or stumble, and not at the views around.
A quiet and peaceful place. You can come here when there are no people to clear your head. At the end of the trail there is a playground with views that you want to look at in silence, leaving behind all the hustle and bustle of life and problems.

It's very beautiful, but there are a lot of mosquitoes, get ready. One of the advantages is that they disappear when you go out into the open. The place is very sticky, while we were looking at the microcosm around, we did not notice how five hours had passed. We were on a weekday and crossed paths with only one group that was already leaving the trail.

A great place, if you take your boots with you, you can pick berries. You can also buy at the end of the route, there is a place equipped with a ladder. And it's all free. The road at the end is so-so, a dirt road.

We were in the summer, we had a good walk, but in the sun I would like to hide under the canopy for a while, if only it were over the benches. The place is very beautiful. We stopped by for the second time in early March. I liked it no less than in the summer. The air is awesome, I can't breathe enough. The swamp looks very beautiful under the ice, these are the pictures. But the trail itself is flooded, and appropriate shoes are needed.

The ecotrope stretches for 2.5 km in one direction. The landscape changed from the forest to the most swampy swamp, with lakes. At the end there was a lake where we could swim. There are a lot of impressions, I recommend visiting and falling in love with the swamp

A delightful route. And every year they improve it. Now the wooden flooring is laid from the parking lot, which makes it more convenient to move to the swamp.

It's just a fantastic place!!! You won't see this anywhere else! Despite the fact that the trail is already pretty much falling apart, the feelings of visiting it cannot be conveyed in any words! The #1 place to visit in the Vitebsk region!!! Emotions are just overwhelming

It is a very interesting and beautiful place. It's a pity that the boards are broken in places on the trail, and you have to constantly look at your feet instead of admiring the landscape. At the end of the trail, you can plunge into a small swamp lake.

Authentic, the trail is flooded in places, so you need boots or take off your shoes..
It is interesting, peculiar, original, and good to visit new landscape conditions.
The entrance is bad, the last 10 km.

It's worth visiting at least once. A beautiful, peaceful place. In autumn it is especially beautiful, well, cranberries can be harvested at the same time. The route along the trail is easy, walking. If you plan to climb straight into the wilds - only with a guide. And you can take a guide along the trail - you will learn a lot of interesting things about the history of the swamp, distant and not so far, about flora and fauna. I recommend.

Nature is a class. The infrastructure for tourism is not there, the flooring has long been in need of repair and maintenance, the posters are often faded, the access road for such a number of tourists is bad (the ground is 5-7 km). They would have already taken a maintenance fee and it would have been better.

A beautiful place.There is nothing special to expect, just a beautiful Belarusian natural location, clean air, the opportunity to see with your own eyes a real riding swamp, how cranberries grow, gray cranes.Decking needs, of course, repair.Locals at the entrance sell all sorts of gifts of nature and so on.You really get a boost of energy either from such a dose of oxygen or in fact such a fabulous place)

Цудоўнае месца, неверагоднае, ні з чым не параўнальнае! Але мы былі не на самой экасцежцы, а хадзілі з гідам па Ельні ў Шаркаўшчынскім раёне, бо Міёрская частка Ельні была забаронена для наведвання ў гэты перыяд.

It's nice to walk in the fresh air, I'm sure it's very cool there in summer. But in winter, the road is not cleaned (we barely got to the SUV), the trail is not cleaned, the swamp itself is not visible. But fresh air, traces of moose and hares, observation deck and silence. We were satisfied even in snowy weather

A pleasant walk with the contemplation of the natural landscape. Pros - clean air, beautiful landscape. Cons - in many places, the wooden flooring on which tourists walk is sagged, there are few places where you can sit down to relax and admire the landscape, a terrible toilet

An extraordinary place with strong energy!! Everyone loved the walk through the swamp, full of bright colors with obligatory bathing in the dark water of the lake. The children used a long stick to check all the marshes they could reach from the catwalk. The locals later told us in secret that the trail beyond the lake still stretches for about five kilometers (!) But this is for the most experienced and desperate.

We were with the conductor, we liked everything. If you come and walk on your own, you probably won't feel everything. Then we walked through the ecotrope on our own.

We had a great time. We ate cranberries straight from the hummocks. In front of the entrance to the ecotrope, there is a trade in cranberries, honey, mead, souvenirs. There are toilets. There are places to relax with benches on the ecotrope. There is an observation tower at the beginning.

Very cool, I advise you to visit before the trail falls apart from age. This is not a minus, it is a given, the tree tends to deteriorate over time.
Of course, it is being repaired, but patching is not a big deal. It is necessary to rearrange it in a good way)
And so I managed to eat cranberries and watermelons (but I remember the name was different) at the end of the season right from the bush, touched the soft water of the swamps, walked on the sphagnum moss, drank water from it, saw a rainbow and fell knee-deep at the end of the trail when I made my way to the small peninsula on the right))

It is a beautiful place, there are many roads made of planks. Widely. People can walk towards each other. They say that in some places the depth is up to 6 meters. They checked it with a stick, and it was really deep. For me personally, this is a place that I am unlikely to go to again, but it was worth visiting at least to know that it exists. I personally didn't like the guide very much, but the taste and color are all different and that's fine. For lovers of nature and birds, this place is what you need. Everyone will find an interest here, probably. But personally, I was a little bored here. But these are my personal impressions.

And we really liked it. At the beginning of the path, find long sticks, it will be interesting to measure the depth with them at the end. And don't forget the insect spray.
