To truly immerse yourself in the uniqueness of Belarusian culture and traditions, you need to visit the places where they were born. An excursion from Minsk to Zaslavl and the Stalin Line is a journey to the origins of culture and the great turning points of history. One such place is ancient Zaslavl. You will explore two of the oldest hillforts — Val and Zamechek and touch the walls of centuries-old temples — the Church of the Nativity of the Virgin Mary and the Transfiguration Church. Also noteworthy are the fortification structures that are over a thousand years old. You’ll be able to compare them with modern ones — a visit to the grand fortification complex from World War II — the Stalin Line, which tells a story of heroism and tragedy. This is more than just an excursion — it’s a glimpse into the past that helps to understand the present.

If desired, a private or corporate tour can be arranged to suit your interests and preferences.

    After the destruction of the first Izyaslav fort, a new one was erected - on the high bank of Svisloch. Since the XI century, it has its history and keeps it in the ramparts and mighty walls of a defensive church - now the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior, which proudly towers over the site of the ancient settlement. Man-made fortifications and obstacles in combination with natural obstacles made Zaslavsky Castle at that time almost impregnable.
