Turov

Туров
A quiz for you. After Polotsk, what is the second oldest city in Belarus? What river is called the "Belarusian Amazon"? What ancient species of huge bulls used to live on Polesie? Attention! These are the right answers: Turov, Pripyat, wild oxen.

If you look at the provincial town of Turov from a bird's eye view, you might think that an aliens' UFO has landed on one of the local fields. This is how a bizarre pavilion of glass - the "Ancient Turov" exhibition of the local regional history museum - looks in the urban environment. Here you can have a look at the huge foundation of an ancient church that was destroyed by an earthquake in the 13th century. Belarus is earthquake-safe, ist’t it? Here we should just remember the philosophic statement: "And even something that's thought impossible, one day can happen".



At the exhibition try to find the horn of a wild ox. And just imagine how huge those animals were! Now you'll need your bravery, because we're going to meet them in their natural environment. The Heka bulls, the modern-day offspring of the ancient wild oxen, are the result of breeding. They differ from their ancestors by the friendly manners and smaller size. On Polesie, they are natural "grass-cutters" that save the marshlands from weediness.

Suitable accommodation in Turov is the Strumen complex with its private jetty on the Pripyat River and the possibility to ride a boat as quick as wind.

Do you think industrial tourism is more for businessmen? And if it includes a tasting? Aren't you the first in the queue? The best production of soft and semi-solid cheeses in Belarus is based in Turov. They rely on Italian traditions here and make natural and tasty ricotta, mozzarella, mascarpone, and creme-cheese. You simply can't resist a slice of tiramisu in a local restaurant!
