If you decide to go on vacation to Belarus to the Sorochansky Lakes, then keep in mind that the entire northern part of the reserve, which is about 40% of its area, is a border zone. You can visit the northern part of the reserve only as part of an organized excursion if you have the appropriate accompanying documents. An invitation and a pass are required to visit the border zone.
There are many places in Belarus where you can relax in the summer with children. But you can have an especially good and inexpensive holiday in Belarus on the lakes by staying in the hotel complex "".
