The road of accomplishment of desires

The Road of Wishes Fulfillment is a new and unique attraction that should be included in excursions across Belarus. This picturesque road is located along the shoreline of Lake Drivyaty, near the town of Braslav. If you are planning an excursion from Minsk or want to book a tour to this region, The Road of Wishes Fulfillment will become a highlight of your journey.

The road stretches between the lake and Lysaya Gora, partially following a restored section of the old cobblestone road from the late 19th and early 20th centuries, which has been preserved for nearly a kilometer. Once, the waters of Lake Drivyaty reached the road, but today the shoreline has receded beyond the highway. In the past, this road served as the gateway to Braslav, and now it is a scenic pathway about 200-250 meters long for leisurely walks.

At the beginning of the road, you will be greeted by the ornate “Arch of Wishes Fulfillment”, adorned with stylized flowers, fish, and the town's coat of arms. Walking under the arch, you can make a wish that, according to local beliefs, will certainly come true.

Nearby, you will find an original sculpture of two cranes, crafted from specially curved sheets of metal. Another striking attraction of Braslav is the “Golden Fish” – a symbol of fishing luck and wish fulfillment. The fish mysteriously emerges from the water near the entrance to the town, crowned with a shining golden crown. This symbol perfectly reflects the spirit of Braslav, a region associated with fishing and centuries-old fishing traditions.

If you want to immerse yourself in the atmosphere of this enchanting area, learn its history, and experience the magic of nature, don’t miss the chance to stroll along The Road of Wishes Fulfillment. You can book a tour in advance to fully enjoy the beauty of Braslav and its surroundings.
