saddest zoo ever! been there in 2019

(Translated by Google) My family and I went to Grodno and visited different places; there were a lot of snakes, lizards, lions, tigers, monkeys, crocodiles, emus, peacocks, flamingos, foxes, bison, deer, llamas, goats, lemurs, parrots, geese, black grouse and many others. In short, cool. (Original) Поехали с семьёй в Гродно побывали в разных местах там очень много всего змеи ,ящерицы, львы, тигры ,обезьяны ,крокодилы ,эму, павлины ,фламинго, лисы, зубры, олени ,ламы, козы, лемуры, попугаи,гуси ,тетерева и многие другие.Короче классно.

(Translated by Google) the zoo is just awful, all the animals sit in their little cubicles, don't come out into the light. no one to look at!!!!!! in all the cages there are only pigeons and sparrows, and who needs these roosters that everyone has at their dacha!! those on the outside look sickly bad 😬😬😬 the terrarium is only open until 15:00!!!!!!!! and the bridge.. my favorite ... they broke it and closed it 😔 very dirty, unsanitary conditions everywhere........ I won't even mention the price!!!! 13 rubles, well, that's incomprehensible!!!!!1!!........ the woman at the checkout was completely impudent, tried to rip me off for 10 rubles in change..... and didn't even apologize... I don't recommend it to anyone, it's better to just look at pictures on Google... definitely won't set foot here again....😣 (Original) зоопарк просто ужасный ,все животные сидят в своих коморках ,не вылазят на свет. не на кого посмотреть!!!!!!во всех клетках одни голуби и воробьи ,и кому нужны вообще эти петухи, которые есть у всех на даче!! те кто снаружи выглядят болезннено плохо 😬😬😬 террариум вообще работает только до 15:00!!!!!!!! а мост..мой любимый ... вообще сломали и закрыли 😔 очень грязно ,везде антисанитария........про цену вообще молчу!!!! 13 рублей,ну это уму не постижимо!!!!!1!!......... женщина на кассе совсем обнаглела ,пыталась надурить на целых 10 рублей сдачи.....и даже не извинилась.... никому не рекомендую,лушче просто посмотреть картинки в Гугле...однозначно больше сюда не ногой....😣

(Translated by Google) Such a wonderful, beautiful city, but the Zoo did not live up to our expectations. Terrible conditions for animals. Small cages, only a floor and a couple of branches. No trees inside, no normal locations. The fence and everything else is from the Soviet Union, they could have redone it. We were in the animal park in Baranovichi, Minsk, everything is very beautiful there, at a height, and here we wasted our money. It was a pity for the animals, it's hot, and they have nowhere to hide from the sun, they lie on the sand and die ((( (Original) Такой прекрасный ,красивый город, но Зоопарк не оправдал наших ожиданий. Ужасные условия для животных. Маленькие клетки, в них только пол и пару веток. Ни деревьев внутри , ни локаций нормальных. Забор и всё остальное с советского союза, можно было и переделать. Были в парке животных в Барановичах, Минске там всё очень красиво, на высоте, а тут зря отдали деньги. Жалко было животных, жара, а им бедным негде спрятаться от солнца, лежат на песке и умирают(((

(Translated by Google) The bird exhibit was decent, since most bird species are usually kept as pets. The mammal exhibit, especially the large predators, was extremely depressing. The bears and monkeys were pacing back and forth in a state of zoochosis. The bear enclosures were all concrete and stone, no greenery, just a dirty pond where they could cool off. The ungulates were also kept in small enclosures, with virtually no greenery. The toucan was either sick or very stressed, and was going bald. This zoo was the first place where I felt sorry for the hyena. I am not a fan of zoos in general, but the enclosures could have been made bigger, so that they would have been more interesting and natural for their inhabitants. (Original) Экспозиция птиц была приличной, поскольку большинство видов птиц обычно содержатся в домашних условиях. Экспозиция млекопитающих, особенно крупных хищников, крайне удручающа. Медведи и обезьяны расхаживают взад-вперед в состоянии зоохозиса. Вольеры для медведей полностью бетонные и каменные, никакой зелени, только грязный пруд, где они могут охладиться. Копытные тоже содержатся в небольших вольерах, где зелени практически нет. Тукан либо болен, либо испытывает сильный стресс, он лысеет. Этот зоопарк — первое место, где мне стало жаль гиену. Я вообще не сторонник зоопарков, однако вольеры можно было бы сделать побольше, чтобы они были более интересными и естественными для своих обитателей.

(Translated by Google) We were on holiday in Grodno and decided to visit the zoo. Unfortunately, we were very upset and saddened that such prisons for poor animals still exist. Nowadays, zoos should meet modern standards. Animals and birds should be kept as in nature, where there is enough space for their normal existence, lifestyle, needs. And not in cages, where, one might say, there is no room to turn around. A real nightmare. I am sure that the government of Belarus has enough resources to build a normal wildlife park! I wish you to do this. Also think about equipping the park with sufficient stations where you can buy water, food, where children can play, a room for mothers and children to change diapers, etc. In general, this is unacceptable in our time. It is a pity to see this. (Original) Отдыхали в Гродно и решили посетить зоопарк. К большому сожалению, были очень расстроены и огорчены, что до сих пор существуют такие тюрьмы для бедных животных. В наше время зоопарки должны соответствовать современным стандартам. Звери и птицы должны находиться, как в природе, где достаточно места для их нормального существования, образа жизни, потребностей. А не в клетках, где , можно сказать, развернуться негде. Сущий кошмар. Уверен, что у правительства Беларуси достаточно возможностей, чтобы построить нормальный парк дикой природы! Желаю вам это осуществить. Также подумайте о достаточном оснащении парка станциями , где модно купить воды, еды, где можно поиграть детям , комнаты мамы и ребенка, чтобы поменять подгузники и пр. В общем, это недопустимо в наше время. Видеть это жалко.

(Translated by Google) The Grodno Zoo caters exclusively to those without empathy for animals. The infrastructure is outdated, and the park staff lack knowledge of animal care. A visit to the zoo will expose you to animal suffering if you possess a shred of sensitivity. The zoo doesn't even meet minimum standards. (Original) Grodzieńskie zoo jest przeznaczone wyłącznie dla osób bez empatii dla zwierząt. Infrastruktura jest przestarzała, pracownicy parku nie mają wiedzy jak się zwierzętami zajmować. Wizyta w zoo ukaże ci cierpienie zwierząt jeśli masz w sobie odrobinę wrażliwości. Zoo nie spełnia nawet minimalnych standardów.

Beautiful building with great architecture

It was under construction along with the nearby lighthouse . That took away some of the sheen . Hope is gets fixed soon

Undergoing renovations. Chabad run. Has food and a gift shop.

Historic place. Sinagoga.

Should visit when in Grodno

(Translated by Google) The synagogue was rebuilt several times after fires and destruction. The current building was constructed between 1902 and 1905 on the foundations and using the walls of the last damaged synagogue. The inside is so bright, airy, and wonderful! The outside is even brighter. Very beautiful! The synagogue is currently operational, but construction is ongoing. (Original) Синагога отстраивалась после пожаров и разрушений несколько раз. Нынешнее здание было построено в 1902-1905 годах на фундаментах и с использованием стен последней пострадавшей синагоги. Внутри такая светлая, воздушная, чудесная! Снаружи более яркая. Очень красивая! В настоящее время синагога действует, но продолжаются строительные работы

(Translated by Google) First we passed by and took a photo, and then in the dark through the window we also appreciated the interior decoration. (Original) Сначала мимо прошли и сфотографировали, а потом в темноте через окно заценили ещё и внутреннее убранство

(Translated by Google) I won’t say that the place is worthy of going here on purpose. But ok, if it’s in passing, like me. The premises contain a regular functioning pharmacy and a mini museum in a separate room. Admission is free, but a photo costs 1 BYN, payment only in cash. The staff is unfriendly. There are few exhibits. There is a tour for about 20 BYN, a group ticket is 20 BYN (Original) Не скажу, что место достойно, чтобы сюда идти специально. Но ок, если мимоходом, как я. В помещении находится обычная действующая аптека и в отдельной комнате мини музей. Вход бесплатный, однако фото стоит 1 BYN, оплата только наличными. Персонал неприветливый. Экспонатов немного. Есть экскурсия по цене что-то около 20 BYN, групповой билет 20 BYN

(Translated by Google) Very interesting place! Large selection of medicines and cosmetics, prices are more than loyal. I liked the presence of compression hosiery (large selection, the employee helped me make a choice and made my life much easier)) And of course the museum! Honestly, there were no special expectations, but we were delighted with the tour! Very interesting and informative! Our tour also included a tasting of Garadzenskaya Garbata tea. Very tasty tea! We immediately bought tea sets as a gift) It is very convenient that you can take the tea with you. We recommend) (Original) Очень интересное место! Большой выбор лекарств и косметики, цены более чем лояльные. Понравилось наличие компрессионного трикотажа (большой выбор, девушка-сотрудник помогла определиться с выбором и очень облегчила жизнь)) Ну и конечно музей! Честно, не было особых ожиданий, но мы остались в восторге от экскурсии! Очень интересно и познавательно! В нашу экскурсию еще входила дегустация чая Гарадзенская Гарбата. Очень вкусный чай! Сразу же купили наборы чая в подарок) Очень удобно, что чай можно взять с собой. Рекомендуем)

(Translated by Google) As a pharmacy - not bad, very beautiful and atmospheric. As a museum - interesting. But the employee who called herself a tour guide is terrible - rude, unprofessional, clearly uneducated even in her field of work and, as a cherry on the cake, when I started asking the most basic questions I received insults. The complaint book was also not brought out, under the pretext of "we do not have a complaint book" I do not advise anyone to take the tour! Free entry - yes, the tour - no! (Original) Как аптека - неплохо, очень красиво и атмосферно. Как музей - интересно. Но вот сотрудница, назвавшая себя экскурсоводом, это ужасно - грубая, непрофессиональная, явно необразованная даже в своей сфере работы и, как вишенка на торте, когда я начал задавать самые простые вопросы я получил оскорбления в свой адрес. Жалобная книга так же не была вынесена, под предлогом "у нас нет жалобной книги" Никому не советую посещать экскурсию! Зайти бесплатно - да, экскурсия - нет!

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum attached to a working pharmacy. A large number of different exhibits, it is possible to purchase natural herb collections. Admission is free, there is a symbolic price for photography, you can and should book a tour. The employees are polite and willing to answer all questions. (Original) Интересный музей при действующей аптеке. Большое количество различных экспонатов, есть возможность приобрести сборы натуральных трав. Вход свободный, за фотосъёмку символическая цена, можно и нужно заказать экскурсию. Сотрудники вежливые, охотно отвечают на все вопросы.

(Translated by Google) An interesting museum, visiting is free, you need to pay 1 ruble ($0.5) for photography. There are many interesting exhibits - there is an exhibition dedicated to the preparation of medicines from herbs; jars of medicine that are 100 years or more old; ancient medical instruments, reference books, etc. Here you can also buy magnets with the image of Grodno (one of the most inexpensive in the city, by the way), souvenir soap (6 rubles), “Garadzenskaya garbata” (medicinal tea). During my visit to the museum, this thought never left me - what a blessing that we live now, when medicine is at such a high level! :) I would not like to experience the effect of all these instruments and jars. (Original) Интересный музей, посещение бесплатное, за фотосъёмку нужно заплатить 1 рубль (0,5$). Много любопытных экспонатов - есть экспозиция, посвященная приготовлению лекарств из трав; баночки с лекарствами, которым 100 и более лет; старинные медицинские инструменты, справочники и т.п. Здесь же можно купить магнитики с изображением Гродно (одни из самых недорогих в городе, кстати), сувенирное мыло (6 рублей), "Гарадзенскую гарбату" (лечебный чай). Во время посещения музея меня не покидала такая мысль - какое счастье, что мы живём сейчас, когда медицина на таком высоком уровне!:) Не хотелось бы мне испытать на себе действие всех этих инструментов и баночек-скляночек.

(Translated by Google) This is truly a pharmacy museum. Everything inside is elegant and laconic, as if in a game or movie you were in an office where the character needs to pick up this or that device. There is a separate room with exhibition specimens. More than 2 ticket offices and 2 halls. There are places to sit. Payment by cards is available. In the museum you can see a collection of medical instruments and other items reflecting the history of pharmacy. You can book a tour at the museum, where all the details will be explained in detail and in an interesting way. (Original) Это и правда аптека музей. Внутри все изысканно и лаконично, будто бы ты в игре или фильме попал в кабинет, где персонажу нужно забрать тот или иной аппарат. Есть отдельный зал с выставочными экземплярами. Больше 2х касс и 2 зала. Есть места для сидения. Есть оплата по картам. В музее можно посмотреть на коллекцию медицинских инструментов и других предметов, отражающих аптечную историю. В музее можно заказать экскурсию, где подробно и интересно расскажут все подробности

(Translated by Google) A functioning pharmacy with a separate historical hall. It won't take much time, but it will be educational. Admission is free, you won't be asked much for the opportunity to take a photo. The exhibits are really interesting and there are a lot of them. (Original) Действующая аптека с отдельным историческим залом . Много времени не займет, но будет познавательно. Вход бесплатный, за возможность сделать фото попросят немного. Экспонаты действительно интересные и их много.

Historic place. Incredible place.

Nice place

Well organised

(Translated by Google) In Grodno they simply call it Farny Church. One of the main attractions of the visa-free city of Grodno. Located in the city center on Sovetskaya Square. Looks beautiful from the outside, incredible on the inside. Pay attention to the main altar. Be sure to visit during your trip. (Original) В Гродно называют просто фарный костёл. Одна из основных достопримечательностей безвизового города Гродно. Расположен в центре города на Советской площади. Красиво смотрится с наружи, бесподобно внутри. Обратите внимание на главный алтарь. Посетите обязательно при поездке.

(Translated by Google) Nice square, there are many small stalls on the square selling kvass, ice cream, etc. An interesting place is a museum, a pharmacy, and a church - there is an organ (Original) Симпатичная площадь, на площади много небольших ларечков квас мороженое и т.д Интересное место музей аптека и костёл - есть орган

(Translated by Google) The city's calling card! A functioning temple. Definitely worth a visit! like all religious institutions, Grodno is a church with a difficult fate. An interesting fact is that there is a prison on the left, close to it. This is such a strange juxtaposition. (Original) Визитная карточка города! Действующий храм. Обязательно стоит посетить! как и все религиозные заведения Гродно - костёл с непростой судьбой. Занимательный факт - слева вплотную к нему расположена тюрьма. Такое вот странное соседство .

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful cathedral both inside and outside. It's definitely worth checking out if possible. (Original) Очень красивый собор как внутри так и снаружи. По возможности обязательно стоит заглянуть.

It’s my church. I was born in this city, and always come back to visit. It is always a spiritual place, very beautiful and holy. Thank you for restoring it and keeping it original.

In 2018 I would almost go to this church every day for the 6 months I lived there. I never felt more comfortable with Father Ighor. I absolutely miss my church, I pray that it continues to stand strong and all of the nuns are healthy.

Amazing sound!

Nice church in a beautiful park only 5 min outside the city center

Historic place. Borisoglebsk Church, Kolozhskaya Church or simply Kolozha is one of the surviving architectural structures of Belarus from the period of Old Russia. The only surviving (in distorted form) monument of black Russian architecture. Located on the high bank of the Neman River. Together with the complex of monuments of Zamkovaya Gora it is declared a historical and architectural reserve. Included among the sites proposed by the Government of Belarus as candidates for inclusion in the UNESCO World Heritage List

There is no greater education than standing upon the ground of history!

Does not look so authentic after renovation but still the interior hasn't been touched much and this is close to how it looked like centuries ago

The old castle is a place to visit when traveling to Hrodna. The visit takes 2 to 3 hours depending on your pace. Translation is available in several languages. The top of the castle gives you a good look at the surrounding.

This place is renovated and lost its originality but lots of historical equipments are displayed.

The Old Castle in Grodno or Hrodno as it is known locally looks very interesting and has a great view over the river. Unfortunately the castle was closed when we visited and it looks like there is some building work going on so perhaps it is being refurbished. I would like to go back and visit sometime and have a proper look around. The Old Castle is next door to the New Castle which looks more like a stately home or similar then a castle.

The castle is well preserved, old an important to Lithuania. But the museum is terrible, both infrastructure and the whole second floor, talking about the 'great history of Communism'.

A well and lovely museum of the history of Grodna and also of the flora and fauna around the city. Everyone who is interested in Grodna should look in.

The castle is pretty good itself. There are a lot of beautiful views here to the city, to the river and parks. Very rear you can see some performance here (actually never saw myself). The museum inside is not so good and not about the castle in general. You can find here just common exhibition about different history and archeology periods and some material about Belarus, USSR times also.

Very interesting museum. Wide national exposition that covers the history of the place from ancient times to the Soviet period. This exhibition is not only about history but presents local flora and fauna too. It is highly recommended to visit.

Good for family and those wanting to get into nature and see some exhibits.

Great place for a walk with whole family surrounded by a beautiful Nature

Very nice place if You like nature. A lot of information about the local flora and fauna. There are some wild birds to watch and in the gallery building a live bee hive behind the glass. The only flaw is that there is no normal restroom, just toi toi.

Lovely calm place to visit. Nature in its beauty. Highly recommended for family trip.

Beautiful Park 🏞️ I strongly advise to pay a visit

Nice place for a family weekend trip.

Nice place for small walk

Really beautiful mosque I really had plan to visit but as I’m not living in Poland so it took many years to go there but finally I went there so peaceful but only regret that I could not pray in it as there was no one from administration to ask and on top language barrier too so may be next time

Marvellous Tatar's piece of heritage. Mosque's guide has been an ethnic Tatar and Muslim and made the sightseeing very interesting.

Very nice wooden mosque from the Polish tatar community. Worth a visit, it costs 5 zł and includes a guide with very good explanation. Also behind the mosque there's a cemetery from this community, also interesting to visit, apparently the oldest grave dates back to 1699.

Unique atmosphere in this unique place! Really makes you appreciate the diversity of different culture. They may all coexist together and don't let anyone tell you otherwise! 🙂☪✝☮

Great place and absolutely fantastic the way the masque's guid, ethnic Tatar presented the story - highly recommended to visit

Very interesting and unique place with a lot of history behind. Also there is very nice guide.

Keeper of the place tells about the history and cultural differences, it was worth visiting! (Almost at the end of the world ;) )

4 stars for this perfect place. Better than Warmia and Mazury. There is a forest, beach, clean water, a place for tents, campers, parties, showers on the beach, observation tower, piers, marina. A great place for active and passive rest. The only minus is the bath open from 10:00 to 18:00. Shopping is better to do in Hajnówka or Białystok, because there is no store on the site. Perfect place for canoeists, cyclist and hikers, for everyone :)

It's a beach like every other there is an observation tower playground for kids volleyball field camp field for free some food trucks and bout renting

Too many people on a mid August weekend. Restrooms would need some care.

Fantastic place to relax.

Just come and see it. 100% like!

Super

Hill

It was my 3rd visit today and the church has been closed every time. It's a terrible thing to have to say but never had this problem visiting Orthodox Churches further East

Very particular orthodox church but close to the public for no reason :(

Magnificent Orthodox Church. Fits 5000 people and we were lucky to get a short tour of the main hall.

Very beautiful orthodox church !

Beautiful church.

Nice church

(Translated by Google) It's a pity that the Church of the Holy Trinity Cathedral was closed, although it declared on the door that it was open to visitors. I can only say that the outside is beautiful. From the description on the outside, you can learn that this is not the original location of the church. Because at the back there are two stones indicating the original locations of the main and auxiliary altars. It's hard to recommend something that you haven't seen in its entirety. But please try, maybe someone will describe the interior rooms in the photos. (Original) Szkoda że, Cerkiew pw. Sobór Świętej Trójcy, był zamknięty choć, na drzwiach deklarował otwartość na zwiedzanie. Mogę powiedzieć tylko że, zewnętrzna część jest ładna. Z opisu jaka znajduje się na zewnątrz można dowiedzieć się, że nie jest to miejsce pierwotne cerkwi. Bo z tyłu znajdują się dwa kamienie wskazujące pierwotne miejsca ołtarza głównego i pomocniczego. Trudno jest polecić coś co nie widziało się do końca. Ale proszę próbować może ktoś opisze w zdjęciach pomieszczenia wewnętrzne.

Europe's last primeval forest hosts 800-year-old oaks with distinctive bark furrow patterns. Biologists confirm 12,000 insect species within a single square kilometer. The reintroduced European bison herd displays behavioral adaptations to tourist presence. Boardwalk trails minimize ecological disruption.

4/5, still looking for real bisons.

trekking, relaxing and more...

This place is just Magical. I can't wait to go back

I was lucky to see the primeval forest in white! It was a remarkable experience!

Dreams come true... Like never before this is amazing view guys must visit Belovezhskaya Pushcha was protected under Decision No. 657 of the Council of People's Commissars of the Soviet Union, 9 October 1944; Order No. 2252-P of the USSR Council of Ministers, 9 August 1957; and Decree No. 352 of the Byelorussian SSR Council of Ministers, 16 September 1991. In December 1991, the belaveza accord , the decision to dissolve the ussr, were signed at a meeting in the Belarusian part of the reserve by the leaders of Ukraine , Russia and Belarus Thankful

Absolutely stunning and most interesting place, one of my favourite places in the world, I hope to come.back here one day and hope that the government don't continue to unjustfully log this place

Bialowieza National Park ( part under strick protection) . No man planted all the trees. Everything looks natural. If a tree falls, it stays there. There are European bisons here, bobcats, wolves and more. A lot of birds and wild flowers.

It was a forest like any other, so I would definitely not go out of my way again to experience it. The difference between the old and new forest is probably only visible for those who have a professional interest.

Marvellous primeval forest, we booked an English speaking tour guide in advance. Seen 600 year old oak still decaying and many more beautiful old trees and stories about the forest.

Incredible forest. Massive trees. Great air. Plenty of birds, insects and fungi. Bison was elusive, apparently better to visit in the autumn, as during summer they tend to stay in the forest. Let yourself loose on the kilometers upon kilometres of forest roads. Bring your bike with u!

If you understand about flora you will like it not much fauna to see. If you are not keen on trees , better don't go , you can get a bit bored. For a walk it's good , for a guide visit it can be a bit boring, not much to see .

The park is very beautiful, and being in nature is really nice. But this is not the visit we were promised. They clearly told us that we would not see any bison at the begining of the visit, and the guides arrived thirty minutes late. We woke up at 3 a.m. for a walk that we could have done at 10, and we did it with a guide who was not very good. In conclusion, a failure.

The park was very impressive. Our guided tour was excellent. The guide, Patryk, was incredibly knowledgeable on plant ecology and forest systems, and was easy to talk with. The mosquitos were very aggressive despite the liters of repellant we sprayed on us, that was also the only downside.

A wonderful place to relax and recharge. Quiet and peaceful. The trail is not a loop: it's there and back. Two hours of easy walking round trip.

Light and pleasant walking. About 3 km in one way. Bicycles are prohibited. A lot of mosquitos.

Advertised as "educational passage", but you will not find a single info board throughout its length. Nevertheless, it makes sense to spend ca. 2x35 minutes to walk both ways, a nice and natural experience

This is a great walking path from free parking to Natural Bison Reserve. Half of the road is just forest path and other half is wooden path(it is slippery when wet so be careful). Parking is not big, so early arrival is recommended especially in the summer. Path is long about 2.7 km and can be completed on the wheelchair as no stairs in the way. Don't forget that you walk in National park so no open fire, no litter, don't pick mushrooms or flowers and don't walk of the path.

Lovely forest walk elevated boardwalk to keep you off the ground

Beautiful walk, 9km in total :)

It is a very pleasant walk around 3.15km one way, there is no payment needed and I would highly recommend using mosquito spray. In my opinion, going back and forth in the same path can get a bit boring, so i recommend going one way and visiting the Żubr reserve.

Almost not animals and those that are available to see are sleeping or hiding. Ticket is 25 PLN. Free parking.

The animals have plenty of space; the wolves hide best — we barely noticed them, as they were sweetly sleeping away from everyone among the trees. There is a playground. Two hours is more than enough for a leisurely walk. Large parking, there are ticket vending machines.

A very nice place to see local animals that live in the Białowieża Forest. We saw the bisons, elk, deer and wolves.

Must see place when in Białowieża region to see European Bison - "żubr" as seeing one in the wild during a forest walk is rare. There is a playground for children. Free Parking.

Definitely worth visiting. Ticket costs 25 zł and the whole park can be covered comfortably in an hour.

Unfortunately, we didn’t see most of the animals. Not sure if they were hiding somewhere or simply not there. Since it was also very hot, the animals were very sluggish and mostly lying in the shade. Maybe it's better to visit on a cooler day, but I wouldn’t recommend it on a hot summer day.

There is not much to see to be honest just like 4,5 similar animals and that’s all and it is not big too but they charging a lot like we were the family of 7 people and after all discounts and everything we paid 72Z which is not worth at all after driving that far no one us enjoyed not recommended at all

This place is very poorly maintained and almost feels abandoned. I've been to many skansens in Poland and this is by far the worst. A real shame.

I was surprised about this so called "skansen", because there are in total only two windmills, two wooden houses and two workshops, a stall and an orthodox chapel. Not much to see and part of these buildings is used as dwellings by private persons. The buildings were build in XX century, so there is nothing special about them. Disappointing.

It was such a picturesque place where I could learn a real life of peasants back in the history

Nice open air museum. It is located a short 10 minutes walk from the centre of Bialowieza. Entrance is free.

I love places like this one it shows the real history, you can come inside, touch everything. Recommended

Very nice place. Allows a glimpse of how our (not so) distant ancestors lived.

Very interesting place to see how people lived before our modern days

Well kept landmark with some artefacts inside

Old defence tower. Beautifully views from the top of the tower. Museum inside.

My experience in there was incredible, there was a party in the whole town, besides it's beautiful and hysterical place and I think it's one of the oldest places in Belarus.

1276 – Foundation of Kamenets on the Lesnaya River as frontier (border) outpost. 1761 – Duke Udalryk Radziwill, being in Kamenets with the Dragon regiment, observes the transit of Venus across the Sun's disk. 1837 – Ignat Kulakovski discovers the foundation date of Kamenets in the Volyn Chronicle (Rumyantsev Museum) — 1276, and he sends the first publication on Kamenets pillar to the Governor.

One of the oldest towers in Eastern Europe.

Great views from the top, definitely worth a visit

Worth visiting if you are nearby.

(Translated by Google) Erected in 1862 - 1864. It was moved to the cemetery that previously belonged to the Church of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, and reconstructed in 1911. A monument of cult wooden construction. In 1920, Polish soldiers and officers who died in the Battle of Birza on September 15-17 were buried at the cemetery. The ashes of Alexander Mickiewicz, Adam Mickiewicz's younger brother, and his family rest here. On the grave is a monument in the form of a Sorrowful Angel. (Original) Ўзведзена ў 1862 - 1864 гадах.

Тут-жа спачывае прах Аляксандра Міцкевіча, малодшага брата Адама Міцкевіча, і яго сям'і. На магіле помнік у выглядзе Журботнага анёла.

(Translated by Google) A very beautiful church. There is an icon shop and a “yard” for pilgrims. The Church is also called “Saved”, since it was not damaged during the Second World War, even though it was made of wood. The Lord protects her. I got married in it. She is very close to me personally. (Original) Очень красивая церковь. Есть иконная лавка и "двор" для поломников. Еще Церковь называют "Спасенная", так как во время ВОВ она не пострадала, хоть и из дерева. Хранит ее Господь. Я в ней венчался. Мне лично она очень близка.

(Translated by Google) The Church of Peter and Paul in Kobrin was a good surprise. Over the past 2 years, I have begun to get used to the fact that in the beautiful Belarusian temples and churches there is a lack of some kind of kindness or something. Profound simplicity and understanding... But today I got to the Peter and Paul Church of Kobrin and a miracle began from the entrance to the territory, some girl came up, asked if it was my first time here, then she took me and showed me the whole temple! An unusually beautiful, ancient temple with an amazing history. The service is conducted by a young and, I would say, very diligent priest. You know, I want to say about him: “He Serves God.” Even in the shop that sells candles, there is a very friendly woman working. I couldn’t help myself, I looked at the temple building, I saw skillfully painted icons and much more. And you know, I was amazed even by the patches on the wooden doors, this place is so sacred and spiritually pure. I never saw a wheelchair for the disabled at the door, or a swing for children in the yard. In such churches people are closer to God! Thank you! Glory to the Lord!!!; Yes, I also wanted to say how they sing there! This is just a place where you feel closer to God!!! (Original) Храм Петра и Павла в Кобрине , по хорошему удивил. Я уже за 2 года стала привыкать, что в прекрасных белорусских храмах и церквях, не хватает какой-то доброты что-ли. Проваславной простоты и понимания... Но вот сегодня я попала в Петропавловский храм Кобрина и с входа на территорию началось чудо, подошла какая-то девушка, поинтересовалась первый ли я раз здесь, затем провела меня и показала мне весь храм! Необыкновенно красивый, старинный, с удивительной историей храм. Службу ведёт молодой и я сказала бы, очень старательный батюшка. Знаете, хочется о нем сказать: "Он Служит Богу" Даже в лавке, которая продаёт свечи, работает очень доброжелательная женщина. Я не могла удержаться, я разглядывала здание храма, я видела искусно написанные иконы и многое другое. И знаете, меня восхищали даже латки на деревянных дверях, настолько тут намоленное и духовно чистое место. Я нигде не видела у дверей каталки для инвалидов, а во дворе качельке для детей. Вот в таких храмах люди ближе к Богу! Спасибо, Вам! Слава Господу!!!; Да, ещё хотела сказать, как там поют! Это просто место , где ты чувствуешь себя ближе к Богу!!!

(Translated by Google) Wonderful church! Kind and helpful people, very beautiful and well-groomed surroundings. There is an icon shop, an Orthodox library, and a Sunday school for children of all ages. This is a wonderful place! (Original) Замечательная церковь! Добрые и отзывчивые люди, очень красиво вокруг и ухоженно. Есть иконная лавка, православная библиотека, воскресная школа для деток разного возраста. Это чудесное место!

(Translated by Google) Thank God for everything, for the fact that we can go to church freely. (Original) Слава Богу за все, за то что можем ходить в церковь свободно.

(Translated by Google) Soulful church, friendly and patient clergy (Original) Душевная церковь,доброжелательные и терпеливы священнослужители

(Translated by Google) Church, there is an icon shop (Original) Церковь , есть иконная лавка

This is actually in the Trip Advisor's top 10 for Brest. Draw your own conclusions. The Brest fortress is world class. The station? Well, a few nice bits of fiddly Stalinesque wedding cake design but not an essential tourist location by any means. There is a bar inside selling large cold cans of beer however. Now that is essential on the 4 hour trip back to Minsk...

Good food and convenient when waiting at the train station. Good prices.

Very friendly staff and good food.

Fantastic place!

Good

(Translated by Google) Brest-Tsentralny treats you with style: borscht with so much sour cream, as if someone dropped half a village bowl in it; mashed potatoes with gravy, where meatballs play hide-and-seek; cabbage and corn salad, obviously collected between electric trains; and pineapple juice, yellow like dreams of the south, but with a taste of train station reality. Everything is simple, honest and without unnecessary sentimentality - like the announcement "Train is delayed indefinitely." I go in every time after a 5-hour stand at the border and clearly understand. I'm home. (Original) Брест-Центральный угощает с шиком: борщ с таким количеством сметаны, будто кто-то уронил туда половину деревенской миски; пюре под подливой, где тефтели играет в прятки; салат из капусты и кукурузы, собранный явно между электричками; и ананасный сок, жёлтый как мечты о юге, но с привкусом вокзальной реальности. Всё просто, честно и без лишних сантиментов — как объявление «Поезд задерживается на неопределённое время». Захожу каждый раз после 5 часового стоялова на границе и чётко понимаю. Я дома.

(Translated by Google) A cozy cafeteria inside the station where you can feel the Soviet era. (Original) 소련 시대 감성을 느낄 수 있는 아늑한 역사 내 카페테리아.

Nice range of old steam and diesel trains from the USSR, with information boards including English. You can go inside a couple of the locomotives, but unfortunately your 10 ruble entry ticket doesn't allow entry to the passenger carriages, there's an extra R15 fee for those which I only found out when I asked the ticket woman on the way out (I didn't have time to go back in 😞). Make sure to ask when you buy your ticket! There are also a cafe and toilets on site.

Very interesting museum, displaying many tractors and train cars. In the central room there is a miniature model

Very beautiful place to visit.. Old trains are huge !! I loved it

I liked that there are no strict rules about the museum. You can touch, climb or visit the trains inside. No cameras or guards make this place very relaxed. Ticket is affordable too. Some of the trains are really old and fancy.

A good exposition, worth seeing for sure. However, we enjoyed a very similar museum in Baranovichy much more. In Baranovichy they treat their visitors much more warmly, and when we went there a couple of years ago there was a wonderful guide, who was very passionate about his job and who told us a great many of interesting things about engines and let us try a lot aff technical stuff for ourselves. In the Brest museum there were no excursions available at the time, so we had to make do with the very short- spoken plaques beside the exhibits.

It a good place to see old locomotives and trains. But most of them are locked, as for me, the best ones. A little bit disappointed because of that but still it's a good and cheap museum in case you love trains.

very interesting place for a tourist. there are old steam engines. very rare instances of which are no longer there. many acting. and participate in the filming of films. recommend.

Brest Fortress is one of the most interesting and powerful places I have visited. It’s not just an old building — it’s a place full of history and emotions. During World War II, in June 1941, German soldiers attacked the Soviet Union. The Brest Fortress was one of the first places they attacked. Even though the Soviet soldiers were surrounded and had little food or water, they fought bravely for many days. Some continued to fight for weeks. Their story is amazing. Today, you can walk around the fortress and see many parts of it. There is a big monument called “Muzhestvo” — a giant stone face of a soldier. It really makes you think about what happened here. There is also a museum with old photos, letters, and things that belonged to the soldiers. Everything is shown in a very respectful and interesting way. The whole area is quiet and clean. It’s a good place to learn about history and to remember the brave people who were here. If you are in Brest, you should definitely visit this place. I spent about 2–3 hours here and it was totally worth it.

Impressive fortress complex, with several large monuments, especially "Courage", commemorating the battle fought here against the invading Nazis in June 1941. All very Soviet-style overly dramatic, but still impressive, and worth a visit. Entry to the fortress is free of charge.

if you are in Belarus, be sure to visit this place, the energy of this place is going through the roof. be sure to take a guide to the open part of the memorial complex. history must be known and remembered, and not as it is now fashionable to forget, turn over.

A wonderful place full of history from the WWII.

Great location to spend half of a day You can take a nice walk in the garden You can pray in the church You can visit the museum It is an impressive location Totally recommend to visit it

Good museum to give background to the events during WW2 that occurred at the fortress. Some displays are in English, but you can easily get the idea about the artifacts and photographs which have not been translated. Do not miss the excellent museum shop downstairs. Very reasonable prices on some interesting souvenirs, from coins to old bullets.

I recommend to visit this place if you are fan of military and history of wars. Place is amazing and really really big! I also suggest to visit it with guide because you could hear really great story about everything inside. There is a lot of military and culture accents so remember that you are visitor and you are guest here :)

It's quite a cool museum with its own downloadable app for listening to the exposition. The only problem - the app doesn't work without the internet which, actually, is rather poor in the place 😟 so, we were able to listen to only half of the materials, some of them we read, some couldn't open.

Favorite museum of my town. You can literally see the town from the past, streets and houses, as they were hundreds of years ago. I've never seen anything like that.

Unique museum with ancient wooden houses, one of the must-see places in Brest

Loved. In this place the visitors will have an idea how was the live in old times.

Very nice museum. Must see if you are in Brest.

Interesting place

(Translated by Google) The museum impressed me! Interesting design of the exhibition hall. It is possible to download an audio guide and listen to information about each hall. Be sure to include it in your program when visiting Brest. (Original) Впечатлил музей! Интересный дизайн выставочного зала. Есть возможность скачать аудиогид и слушать информацию по каждому залу. Обязательно включите в программу при посещении Бреста.

Shrine of Our Lady of Kodeń Roman Catholic Church Sanctuary of Our Lady of Kodeń - Missionary Oblates of Mary Immaculate. Koden. Poland. Pilgrim place.

Beautiful shine and surrounding area.

Beautiful quiet place

Must see in this area.

Pk

Super

(Translated by Google) A wonderful place for those who are looking for peace and quiet close to God and nature. The sanctuary is beautiful and conducive to prayerful concentration. The pilgrim's house and the entire area have been maintained with great care, simple and without sacred kitsch. At the Jadłodajnia you can eat tasty meals all day long. Extensive gardens ideal for long walks. The Oblate Fathers are open and cordial, the employees are smiling and helpful. All this creates a unique atmosphere - I felt as if I was a long-awaited guest and at the same time as if I had arrived at home. In my room facing the gardens, you could fall asleep in complete darkness, listening to the sounds of the forest. Paradise. (Original) Wspaniałe miejsce dla tych, którzy szukają ciszy i spokoju blisko Boga i natury. Sanktuarium piękne i sprzyjające modlitewnemu skupieniu. Dom pielgrzyma i cały teren utrzymany z dużą dbałością, prosto i bez kiczu sakralnego. W Jadłodajni można zjeść smaczne posiłki przez cały dzień. Rozległe ogrody idealne do długich spacerów. Ojcowie Oblaci otwarci i serdeczni, pracownicy uśmiechnięci i pomocni. Wszystko to tworzy wyjątkową atmosferę - czułam się jakbym była wyczekiwanym gościem a jednocześnie jakbym przyjechała do siebie. W moim pokoju od strony ogrodów można było zasypiać w całkowitej ciemności, słuchając odgłosów lasu. Raj.

Cichooooo 😁😊

(Translated by Google) A beautiful place, charming, atmospheric. The Monastery Complex includes a monastery and a building complex. Interestingly, for the first time in a long time I saw free-range chickens walking there and not confined to it. When visiting eastern Poland, you must stop here for a while. I do not recommend going further along the dirt road into the forest, because border guards may come out of it. The border is right there. (Original) Piękne miejsce, urokliwe, klimatyczne. Zespół Klasztorny obejmuje klasztor oraz zespół budynku. Jako ciekawostkę po raz pierwszy od dawna widziałem tam chodzące, a nie zamknięte kury na wolnym wybiegu. Zwiedzając wschód Polski koniecznie trzeba tu na chwilę zajechać. Nie radzę iść dalej polna drogą w las, bo mogą wydobyć się z niej pogranicznicy. Granicą jest tuż, tuż.

(Translated by Google) This place is really impressive.... 😌It's hard to express in words the beauty and at the same time the modesty and silence that reigns here.... 🤔The temple has something like 'Wow, I don't know how to behave here'..., jaw drops....😳 It's beautiful, it's worth seeing it with your own eyes, no photo can do it justice... I recommend it, it's like a piece of heaven on earth... 👍 (Original) Naprawdę to miejsce robi wrażenie.... 😌Trudno wyrazić słowami to piękno a jednocześnie skromność i ciszę jaka tu panuje.... 🤔Świątynia ma w sobie coś w rodzaju '' Wow, nie wiem jak się tu zachować "..., szczęka opada....😳Jest przecudowna, warto to zobaczyć na własne oczy, żadna fotka tego nie odda...Polecam tu jest jakby kawałek nieba na ziemi... 👍
