The rout: The museum of national architecture and traditions - Settlement.

Length: 40 km.

Duration: 3 hours.

There is a place where one can appear in the real Belarusian village as it was 100 years ago near Minsk. This is the museum of national architecture and traditions near village Ozerco. Wooden houses, churches, watermills, barn and the tavern were brought here from all over the Belarus. All this is situated on the hills on the banks of the Ptych. Inside of the houses everything is also real – stoves, benches, clay dishes, trunks and splinters. The staff of the museum will tell you about the habits and traditions of the people who lived in these houses more than thousand years ago with pleasure.

There is village Gorodishe near Ozerco. A real ancient settlement of the Slavs has remained in the outskirts of the village. The historians say that this is the place where Mensk (the former name of Minsk) initially situated. Although people haven’t lived here for a long time the settlement amazes with its size. Mensk “mooved” to the Svisloch in far 1067. Why did it “move”? It’s better to hear the answer in the Settlement!
