An excellent nature reserve, the most protected and valuable in Belarus! You can also take a walk along the ecotrope yourself, but for 10 rubles per person with a guide it is more interesting. We drove by car on our own, just over 100 km from Minsk on an excellent road, without pits, with markings, convenient and clean parking lots and places to relax on the highway. We looked at the animals in the aviaries and the awesome nature museum. We paid 100 rubles for everything with a guide for four people. Free, new and clean toilets, trash cans everywhere, in general, Belarus is a level that can be aspired to. Everything is done wisely and with a plan for the future! I recommend you to visit!

We took a single ticket - it allowed us to see the enclosures with animals in the Forest Zoo and the Nature Museum. The cost for 1 adult, if I'm not mistaken, is 8 Belarusian rubles, quite inexpensive. At the cash desk you can buy souvenirs, water, and food for animals - sliced vegetables. Those who are not here for the first time have prepared in advance. I saw a group of adult girls with bags of carrots and cabbage, and they purposefully moved towards their pets, along the way exchanging opinions on which of the animals had grown up and changed. In general, there are many options for spending time on the territory of the reserve - from an independent walk (our option) to a one-day hike along exclusive routes, and even watching wild animals from an observation tower, and fishing is also possible. So if you have time, interest and money, you will be provided with leisure in the Berezinsky Nature Reserve. Our option was the simplest, just a walk through the territory of the forest zoo with several enclosures. In the diagram you can see the location of the animals' dwellings, you can figure out in advance who to visit first. Since I knew that there are two bears in the zoo who are very fond of oranges, we went to the bears and took the fruit. One of them turned out to be a little bear, but very nimble and inquisitive. It is clear that he is used to people and is not afraid. And he ate an orange for a sweet soul. Honestly, I don't know the history of every animal in the zoo, but I think they ended up in cages for a reason. The animal enclosures are large, and so large that you may not be lucky enough to see its inhabitants, especially on a hot summer day. Although the red deer is a large animal, it is difficult not to notice it even in a large enclosure. This handsome deer was tired from the heat, and it was before a thunderstorm, and some of the animals were restless, and some, on the contrary, hid. The deer was also not afraid of anyone, it took food from the hands of visitors. Near each aviary there is an information table with a brief description of the inhabitant. The wolves were lazily lying on the grass, and only one wolf came up to us to chat. You wouldn't think it was a formidable predator right away. The animal is young in appearance, small. There are few birds - we managed to see an eagle and swans. The eagle was also sitting in a large cage, I have seen similar enclosures in other zoos. You don't fly much, but you can stretch your wings. I mean, what kind of reserve, and even a Belarusian one, without the most famous animal, the bison? By the way, there is such a thing as the European five - it includes bison, bear, wolf, moose and lynx. These are the five most significant hunting trophies, respectively, on European territory. There are similar ones on other continents. In general, all these animals are located on the territory of the Berezinsky Nature Reserve. The bison, of course, is handsome. Powerful, calm - at least in appearance. But the sturdy cage is equipped with additional protection - do you see the metal bar on the supports? This thing prevents the bison from breaking through the bars of the cage. And I think he can do it... In addition to bison, deer, moose and other local animals, they also saw a "foreigner" in one of the enclosures - a Scottish pony named Donut. This funny kid lives in a huge aviary, part of which he successfully freed from the grass. Even on the enclosure it was written that the Donut was here temporarily until the grass was mowed... A very sociable citizen. I made a little show of lying in the sand. In my opinion, the most beautiful and graceful deer is the spotted or flower deer. The one that signals danger to its relatives with a white spot under its tail. In summer, this deer is especially beautiful - the skin is spotted and bright, and in winter it blooms, becomes almost monotonous. Despite its diminutive size, it is characterized by "increased jumping ability" - it easily overcomes two-meter fences. Berezinsky deer is a touching milakha and a beggar. A fairly large area is reserved for rooms for domesticated animals. There are wild boars, pheasants, chickens, and rabbits! But the funniest ones, of course, are the goats. Cheeky, sly, and headless. Or maybe it just seems that way to us? One of the goats stuck its head under the fence and got stuck there. And the horns are much bigger than the hole she managed to send them into. I was about to go look for someone from the staff to save the bastard, but this beast was already free and continued to beg! Swans live in a large aviary with a private lake. Beautiful birds, you can't say anything. Despite the fact that the animals are sitting in large cages, the impression of the zoo remains the most positive. Large and well-maintained territory, cleanliness everywhere. The walk turned out not to be a classic zoo with flower beds and carousels, but practically through a pine forest. But if these activities are not enough, then you can ride horses outside the zoo, try your hand at the rope park. We moved on to the Nature Museum, which is located in the main estate of the Berezinsky Reserve. There is not only a museum, but also a scientific center where conferences and various events are held. The museum itself consists of two floors of exhibits with all the inhabitants of these places. For lovers of zoology, the exhibition is undoubtedly very interesting. The scarecrows are made of very high quality, plus the entourage - good impressions were left from the visit. I recommend that anyone who is interested in nature and animals visit the Berezinsky Atmospheric Reserve whenever possible. To all those who read the review, thank you for your attention!
