An interesting place!! I've been looking for this mountain for a long time)) especially how to get closer)
Only one search by car along the serpentine of Mozyr was a great pleasure! Climbing to the top of the mountain made me warm up well)) Standing at the top, I quickly read a couple of articles about the history of this place, plunging into ancient times)) I liked it! I advise you to visit!
I used to go there very often during my school years... A beautiful place both in summer and winter. There is a place to relax and coolly plunge into nature!!!
They said there was an idol standing at which local pagans performed rituals. I went to this hill on purpose and looked at it. In fact, there is no idol there. The only strange thing is the freshly planted trees on the top of the ring. About fifteen pieces. Moreover, they were planted stupidly. The birch tree is withered. The trees are planted of different breeds. I was surprised that even cherries were planted.
It's worth visiting and breathing clean air, of course, if you could sit, it would be super at all!!

Since there is a temple there, it would be more correct to call the name of the mountain not Shaitan Mountain, but a Temple! We live in a country where the main religion is Orthodox Christianity. The Constitution of the Republic of Belarus allows any religion! Mozyr pagans do not break crosses, do not throw cigarette butts on the territory of the temple. Whereas, Christians behave like vandals. Garbage from their visits often appears on the mountain and at its foot...do not forget, guys, that your ancestors, from whom your family descended, were once also pagans!
Steep paths that run down to the "mound" are hidden in the shadow of the green forest. At the top there is a pleasant view of the forest, there is a feeling that people are far away, although this piece of nature is located between the houses.
Legend and reality preserved through the ages! A narrow path leads to Shaitan Mountain, the hill itself rises majestically and fabulously. An irresistible force pulls and attracts to this place both residents living near the mountain and those passing by by chance. What is the secret? After visiting this place, a person feels good and cheerful. Usually such places are called places of POWER by esotericists, magicians, psychics. They attract and beckon. The mountain has seen a lot over the years. An amazing panorama opens from its top, especially in summer. And what is on it now, at its peak? Our pagan ancestors glorified their native gods in the temple (sanctuary). With the advent and adoption of Christianity, such places were visited secretly. Russia was baptized in 988 (it came from Byzantium) on the instructions of Prince Vladimir. Our ancestors did not want to abandon their former traditions and customs (some still remain). Reluctantly, they accepted Christianity. For many years, the pagans remained in the "shadow". Now in Russia and Ukraine there are already Slavic schools, colleges, many communities and settlements. Perhaps you don't know anything about them?
Slavs! You are the descendants of the Slavic clans, take care of the culture of our distant ancestors, whose descendants you are. Please kindly! After visiting the mountain, do not leave garbage there, behave in a civilized manner!
