History of the development
On the waters of the Berezina passed the famous path «from the Varangians to the Greeks». And the channel that was built in 1804 connected the Baltic and Black Sea, now it has completely lost its transport value. Reminders of past greatness are only stone slopes along the banks of the canal and overgrown shrubs remnants of dams and locks. The devastating events of the Northern War, the Patriotic War of 1812 and the Great Patriotic War did not bypass the village in its time. Until now, the land keeps the memory of those tragic events.
Tourism potential
The village is a science center of Berezinsky Reserve, part of which are Berezinsky water system, Museum of Nature and Forest Zoo of the Berezinsky Biosphere Reserve.
