Good afternoon, dear local guides !!!
I haven’t written anything for a long time. Today I want to share a trip to one remote corner of Belarus, to its very north, namely to Bukhava village, Rasony district, Viciebsk region. This is a very secluded place, devoid of all the benefits of civilization. You can forget about high-speed Internet here. Even mobile network is hardly available. It is hardly a populated, but rather dying village. There are very few indigenous people in Bukhava. Huts are mainly occupied by summer residents from Russia, who spend their summers here. The Rasony district, like the entire Viciebsk region, belongs to the territory of the Belarusian Paazer’e (Lake district). This is the place where the glacier left numerous lakes and lowlands. In addition, Rasony district is the most ?forested district of Belarus.
I also want to add that the Rasony district (together with the Połack district, Sebezh district, Nevel district) is one of the ?centers of Belarusian folklore and mysticism. This region is as mystical as Poltava thanks to the creation of Nikolai Gogol and his famous collection of stories ‘Evenings on a Farm near Dikanka’; like the Ural Mountains thanks to the creation of Pavel Bazhov and his collection of tales ‘Malachite Box’. This is how this land was seen by Jan Barščeŭski and described in his collection of fantastic stories ‘Nobleman Zawalnia, or Belarus in Fantastic Stories’. It seems that silvans, Kings of snakes, werewolves still live in these forests, fiery spirits wander. Mermen, scary monsters swim in lakes and rivers, a magical žaber-grass grows, capable of predicting the future. Dragons fly in the sky and the agile White Magpie able to turn into a beautiful woman.
But seriously Bukhava (like the whole Rasony district) is perfect for tourists who isable to live in a 
tent. There are excellent conditions for fishing. In addition, no license is needed. (Fishing prohibited during spawning.) In rivers and lakes there are pike, bream, dace, chub, roach. Bears, wolves, wild boars, moose, roe deer, deer, and bison live in the forests. In summer and autumn, you can pick berries and mushrooms. Well, in addition to the tent, you can stay in the farmsteads ‘Krolova Khata’ and ‘Bobrovaya Khata’.
I spent a day in Bukhava village, visiting my aunt and uncle. In the evening I managed to take a photo walk. Village dogs barked at me with might and main. But I wasn’t afraid of them. The weather was wonderful. It was the beginning of autumn. Although it was still pretty green, yellowness was breaking out in some places. It was drizzling and a ?rainbow appeared in the sky.
In the morning I went deep into the forest. I reached the spill of the Drysa river.
And you can only imagine !!! I came across a fresh trail of wild boar !!! What a tremendous speed I was returning home !!! Well, the path to the forest is indicated by such a small architectural form.
I left these places with an incredible sense of calm, tranquility, leaving as a keepsake these wonderful photos.
. I`d like to visit it one day
I’ma bit afraid of dogs and don’t like sleeping in a tent
