Vitsebsk Region

Vitsebsk Region is best known in Belarus for the Braslav Lakes, a large concentration of glacial lakes in the country’s north. The region extends across the Belarusian Lakeland, where woodland, wetlands and linked waterways give the terrain a distinctly northern character. The Western Dvina crosses the oblast on its route to the Baltic Sea, while Braslav Lakes National Park protects lake shores, islands and forest. Vitebsk, the regional capital, is the birthplace of artist Marc Chagall; Polotsk is among Belarus’s oldest cities and an important historic centre.
