Such a phrase, first heard, causes slight bewilderment among the geographically educated population of the post-Soviet space: where is Yakutia and where is Belarus. And Yakutia is not mountains in any way, but the endless tundra, like Belarus, a flat country.
But in Polesie there are many hills, slopes, valleys, which are actively transformed into comfortable recreation areas that satisfy various preferences in organizing recreation. And among such places - the Yakut Mountains, which received the name from the village of Yakut, which is located 38 kilometers from Minsk. The dominant position here is rightfully occupied by Mount Dzerzhinskaya - the highest point of lowland Belarus.
Mountain peaks
Mount Dzerzhinskaya and the entire hilly area around are equipped for winter recreation: skiing, snowboarding, climbing to the top with snowmobiles. The only ski slope - the main attraction of the complex - has a length of about five hundred meters and a vertical drop of 60 meters. In addition, there is a 400-meter long track for snowboarders in the park.
The modern system of artificial snow formation allows the use of ski slopes until April, and the latest equipment for processing slopes - to maintain them in excellent condition throughout the season. Both tracks are illuminated in the dark and are equipped with ski tows. In addition to skiing and snowboarding on the territory of the Yakutskiy Mountains park, there is the opportunity to ride a tubing on one of the slopes, climb the summit on a snowmobile or ride it on the plain. For those who are first introduced to winter outdoor activities in the mountains, there are schools where professional instructors help to gain confidence in the development of skiing and snowboarding, instilling a love of dizzy flights along the mountain slopes, as well as skills in using snowmobiles.
In the season of fragrance of nature
Positioned in its formation phase as the first ski resort in Belarus, over time, the Yakutskiye Gory active leisure park has acquired all-weather status.
In the spring-autumn period, for lovers of active group recreation, the Yakutskiye Gory complex offers a lot of entertainment. This is volleyball, futsal. But paintball is the most popular here, allowing you to shake off the load of accumulated fatigue in an exciting team competition and feel like a hero. Fans of a state of detachment from worldly bustle can go on an exciting journey on ATVs or practice shooting accuracy from various types of pneumatic weapons in a shooting range, ride alone on mountain bicycles.
Beyond praise
Hotels and cottages of the recreation park "Yakutskie Gory" are ready to open their doors to any country holiday lovers any day. And lovers of rural exoticism and silence can count on the hospitality of rural residents of the village of Yakutia.
From morning till night, various cafes and restaurants are open on the territory of the leisure park, where local chefs treat guests with national dishes, Asian pilaf and barbecue, which can also be prepared independently at special picnic areas.
Additional facilities at the park include a children's room and a playground for children. There is a left-luggage office, free parking. A medical care center is operating. And, of course, there is a rental point for inventory and equipment for various purposes.
Oh this wedding
The Yakutsk Mountains complex (Belarus) has everything you need to organize mass events of various sizes. Here are the best conditions for banquets in the lap of nature: there is a hall in the main building of the park, as well as 4 small enclosed rooms, ready all year round to receive guests. In the spring-autumn period, a pavilion with 250 seats was opened with a dance floor and a platform for sound equipment. There is a cafe at the pavilion.
