I will write right away - 113 steps.
In the south-east of Volkovysk there is a Swedish mountain. It resembles a truncated cone in shape. Its height reaches 32.5 m – this is the highest point of the Volkovysk hills. Along the perimeter, it is surrounded by a defensive rampart, which is interrupted from the south side, where the entrance was located. There is another hill to the west of the Swedish Mountain – the Castle. The castle is much larger than the Swedish Mountain, but inferior to it in height. The settlement on these hills arose in the tenth century.
It's good there. High. It breathes freely, but the asphalt on the East side is shit, and on the West it is good. The apple trees below are beautiful and apple-like. The view from above is not bad, if not for a certain amount of abandonment.
There is a view of the maximum security colony surrounded by three fences and other parts of the city. It is a pity that the chalk quarries with blue water are not visible from this place.
I won't say that this hill is something special, but it was fun to drink tea on the only bench on the mountain, in proud solitude and overlooking the city. At sunset and at dawn, there is probably a much more beautiful, interesting place for a picnic or a romantic date. It was not difficult to climb, there are only 120 steps. The only drawback, as for me: there is no public transport from the city center to the mountain.
Beautiful view of the city. There is a parking lot at the foot of the mountain. There is a bench and a geodetic sign on the top. There is a historical stand near the parking lot
To preserve and enable people to get acquainted with such historical places is very important for the development of interest in the history and life in this place. Thanks for the memory support.
Place 10 out of 10 atmospherically offers a very beautiful view of the city and the prison, you can reconnect with nature and the urges from the prison like
The highest point with a good view of the city. It is better to come there at dawn or dusk, then the best view opens. There are steps, you don't have to roll head over heels, there is parking at the bottom
We arranged a real walk with the children, 16 km long, all over Volkovysk. We were on the mountain for 10 minutes. High. The city is visible. It is convenient that there is a bench at the top :)
A very interesting place, and now it has become beautiful and refined. The stairs were repaired and it became safer to climb the mountain, and the view from the mountain reveals the beauty and sights of the city of Volkovysk. Who was not advised to visit. You won't regret it!!!
