Nature reserve “Lakes”: in the tracks of a mighty aurochs and an orchid at the Holy swamp
grodnonews.byYou can make your way to the heart of the overgrown forest and lake splendour of republican landscape reserve "Lakes" only by an off-road vehicle – its hilly forests, dug up and eroded by the ancient Valdai glacier, protect the dense forest from lighthearted human visits.
The property of the reserve of almost 24 thousand hectares passes the territory of Grodno and Shchuchin districts, in the north-east it is contiguous to Lithuanian frontier.
