A good place near pogoran. It is convenient to reach it by driving up to the terminal 26 of the bus and from the stop go straight to the end of the road, and then turn right and go to the power line. There, as the power lines go, go straight from pogoran, then when you are already at the very turn to the fort (according to the maps), you will see an overgrown path along which you need to go into the forest. And already in the forest and walk in a straight line to the fort (GPS catches well). There will be a ravine on the way, it is better to cross it next to the e trees in order to grab them and descend (preferably use gloves), and it is also better to climb relying on trees. Then, on the other side of the ravine, go to the fort and there will be a concrete entrance, but it is walled up (there you can only look at the ceiling of stones, nothing interesting). There is a path up near it, where you can climb to the top of the fort and go all the way to its end, then go down and you will see the t-shaped entrances to the bunker. Enter the first one and explore the fort. THE MAIN THING! Look at your feet, it's hard to fall, but it will hurt if so, tested by me. Have a good trip! I advise you to take a powerful flashlight (a headlamp will do well), long-sleeved clothes, gloves and a rope (if you want to go down to the lower floor).

Fort No. 9 in the Grodno fortress is an amazing place that attracts attention with its history and mystery. Located on the left bank of the Neman River, it has left its mark on time. The construction of the fort was completed in 1915 under the supervision of military engineer V. N. Korytin. Interestingly, the most innovative technologies were used in its construction, and the work took place even in three shifts. The fort was located in a remote area, which saved it from destruction during the fighting. Today, Fort No. 9 is not only a historical monument, but also a place where you can plunge into the atmosphere of the past. It is perfectly preserved and not littered with garbage, which makes it truly unique. If you are interested in history and mysteries, be sure to visit this fort! 🏰

Yandex navigator leads south to the village. That's right, from there you have to walk through the forest to the north for 5 minutes. GPS catches, it's hard to get lost. A powerful flashlight is needed, there is not enough phone. The fort is elongated, you can walk along it, as there are several entrances. A little creepy, but very interesting. Those who like to crawl through the dark ruins of the labyrinths will be delighted.

Quite an interesting place if you know the history, it is quite difficult to get to the cons due to the large number of branches, bushes and trees. If you wish, you can visit

A great, atmospheric place. A big plus is that you can get there by public transport. The path leading to the fort is also worth attention. You can find it on the mapmagic map.

The path to the fort begins under the power line at coordinates 53.625746, 23.912661 The path is marked in some places with blue tape on the trees. You can also climb through the windfall from the north - you will come out on the old hazel road to the fort. The placemark on the map is located in the center of the earthworks. The concrete gallery is somewhat to the south. The fort is well preserved, although it was not completed and was blown up.

One of the few forts around Grodno that was not blown up or bombed after the First World War. The geometry in Yandex is not in the place of the fort. There is a path to it, if you can call it that, from the southern part of the forest. We came in from the northern part; the path is closer, but we feel our way through windbreaks. It is far away in the forest area. Be sure to bring a compass or put tags on your phone from where you came in. Without navigation, you can get lost in the thicket or pass by the fort. Wear shoes/clothes for impenetrable forests 😁
