Naliboki forest

Naliboki Forest (Belarusian, Nalibotskaya Pushcha, Nalibokskaya Pushcha) (pushcha: wild forest, primeval forest)) is a large forest complex in northwestern Belarus, on the right bank of the Neman River, on the Belarusian Ridge. Much of the area is occupied by pine forests and swamps, and some parts of the Naliboki are rather hilly. Rich fauna include deer, wild boars, elk, beavers, bears, bison, capercaillie, black grouse, snipes etc. The forest is named after a small town of Naliboki situated in the middle of it, although the title of "informal capital of the forest" belongs rather to the town of Ivyanets. Nalibotskaya Pushcha is famous for its nature and rich, although tragic, history.
