A very distinctive place is breathtaking. The powerful Polota River flows into the Western Dvina. The current, the huge volume of water rushing under you and all this was a thousand years ago when the first Viking prince Rogvolod arrived to reign in Polotsk. And the whole story is 100 meters away, on the opposite shore from St. Sophia Cathedral in ancient Polotsk.
The pedestrian bridge that goes from the private sector to the hill to the cathedral... Walked, reliable, does not swing... But the stairs are a bit slippery in winter.
