Dzerzhinskaya Gora

Trail description

Short out-and-back walk from the village of Skirmantava to the top of Dzyarzhynskaya Hara, at 345 m the highest point in Belarus, about 30 km west of Minsk on the Minsk Upland. The hill was called Holy Mountain until 1958. A granite plaque on the summit, placed in the late 1990s, marks the highest point, and a flag monument was added in 2023. The gentle hill is a glacial moraine capped with loess, and the path at the top leads past a sundial to the marker.
