The name Borovoe is derived from the word Bor, which means a pine forest. Since there are a great many such natural zones, there are plenty of Borovoe objects on the geographical map of the eastern hemisphere. In Russia alone there are 25 of them. In addition, they are in Ukraine, Belarus, Kazakhstan. So the people get confused what kind of Borovoye they need in order to go there to rest, because there are not sanatoriums and rest houses everywhere. Adds confusion and the fact that, in addition to settlements, there are about two dozen lakes with the same name. In addition, in Belarus there is a sanatorium "Borovoye" (Vitebsk region), which has nothing to do with either the villages of the same name or with water bodies. It's just that it is located in a pine forest, that's what they called it. And in Kazakhstan, the Borovoye resort has long been popular. Sanatoriums located there are famous far beyond the borders of the country. The Kazakh version of the name of the resort is easily explained by the fact that it is located in the region of unique lakes, which are known as Borovye. But first things first. First, let's look at the Belarusian sanatorium, then we will see how and what is being treated in Kazakhstan.
Location
The Borovoye sanatorium (Belarus) is located in the Vitebsk region, 30 km from the small town of Dokshitsy, on the banks of the Studenka river, very close to the famous Berezinsky ecological reserve. In order not to get confused, we explain that in the Vitebsk region there are three settlements with the name Borovoe and two small lakes of the same name: one on the Galbitsa river, the second on the Lositsa river. There are no medical institutions there, and the Borovoye sanatorium is not associated with any of these facilities. It has its own very picturesque lake, however, it is not natural, but man-made.
