The Ozery Nature Reserve has six tourist routes and an ecological nature trail. Route No. 1 of the Ozery Nature Reserve is a 10 km water and ecotourism route from Azyory via Lake Beloe, an overnight stop in the Ozery forestry district, and back to Lake Beloe as far as the Khimik tourist base.
When planning a trip, the desire to rent a holiday apartment in Aziory may be the main consideration.
Nature
Lake Beloe is described as the largest natural lake in the region and is part of a network of 16 interconnected lakes. The water route on Lake Beloe passes through ancient forests with 200-year-old oaks and tall pines, as well as past parabolic dunes that rise approximately 20 metres above the lake shore.
The “The Preserved Pathway” route leads through forest marshes, oak groves and meadows inhabited by special bird and animal species. It is the only narrow-gauge railway route in Belarus that passes through a protected natural area. As a 20 km narrow-gauge railway route, it is located in the “Republican Landscape Reserve Aziory”; the journey takes 2.5 to 3 hours. The route also crosses the second-longest bridge in the country and the only bridge in Belarus that spans a lake.
Route No. 4 of the Ozery Nature Reserve is a 25 km ecotourism route from Azyory via Lake Beloe, an organised ecotourism camping area, the village of Podbeloye and a dam to Lake Zatskovo.
For visitors with visual impairments, the Ozery Nature Reserve has the “Touch of Nature” sensory nature trail; the route opened in 2018. The nature trail has five tactile sections with gravel, earth, pine cones, wood chips and a wooden walkway. The sensory nature trail offers themed guided tours and individual lessons for children. Information boards bear Braille inscriptions; during the route, visitors receive audio players with audio guides.
