A 1,000-hectare nature reserve of glacial terrain that feels completely unlike the rest of Belarus. Steep slopes reaching 30 degrees, elevation changes of 60 meters, and a labyrinth of deep ravines create a landscape more reminiscent of the Carpathian foothills than the Belarusian lowlands. The microclimates between ravine bottoms and hilltops can differ by 10–12°C, creating distinct ecological zones within walking distance of each other.

This extraordinary terrain was carved 300,000 years ago by glacial activity during the Dnieper glaciation. The glaciers left behind a landscape of rare "graben" forests and mixed birch, pine, and oak woodlands growing on impossibly steep slopes — a geological curiosity protected as a republican nature reserve.

Two marked eco-trails: a 3 km loop and a more challenging 6 km route through the deepest ravines. The dramatic elevation changes and microclimate shifts. Rare graben forest formations. Mixed forests of birch, pine, and oak on steep glacial slopes.

Distance from Minsk: ~275 km (3+ hours). Trail access near villages Novinka and Bobrenata. Free entry.
