The quiet, undiscovered sibling of the Braslav Lakes, Sinysha is a glacial landscape of soft hills and cascading blue lakes connected by waterways of the Drissa River. Home to the longest and narrowest peninsula in Belarus, stretching into Lake Sinysha, this reserve offers raw, untouched nature without the tourist infrastructure — just forests, campfires, fishing, and the sound of water.

While the more famous Braslav Lakes draw the crowds, Sinysha has remained a secret known mainly to regional visitors from Vitebsk, Polotsk, and the nearby Russian border areas. The glacial landscape mirrors Braslav's beauty but retains a wild, frontier character — there are no glamping sites or food trucks here, just traditional camping-based tourism in pristine surroundings.
