The Belorussian legends. King-oak, stone sculptures of girls and the holy stone crosses. P2
If see in map of Belarus our route from Minsk to King-oak went right on south, across half of the country. So that, the route of near 315 km take about 6 o'clock. We heard funny stories, knew a lot of interesting attractions which are along our route, and got advices from local people. Advices from local people are very important, especially when you bad know a way. But often cause funny stories what happened to you caused by these advises. I remembered a young couple who picked us up. When woman knew about our goals she asked her boyfriend to drive us a little more. If truth be told, we felt a few guilty before him. From people who picked us up especially memorable one policeman. He very helped us! We did long way, but when was the last part of the way, we stranded. Before the village Danilevich, where near was King-oak, were about 20 km. We didn’t know the exact distance, Dima lost my map. Not cars, not buses which go to Danilevich. In general, buses go only twice: Monday and Friday. In this moment, when we decide to walk, near us stopped a police car. It was 2014 year, when in Ukraine was civil conflict. And we were near Ukrainian border. Two non-native men with bag attracted the attention. But when young policeman knew our goals, he took us right to the village, from whence we walked to destination. Where after, he left us and went back. Thank you very much Belarusian police! From this place we went in depths of Belorussian legends…

We heard funny stories, knew a lot of interesting attractions which were on our route, and got advice from local people. Advice from local people is very important, especially when you don't know the way very well. But these funny stories are often what happened to you because of this advice. I remembered a young couple who picked us up. When a woman knew what we wanted she asked her boyfriend to take us a little further. If truth be told, we felt a bit guilty. From all the people who picked us up, the policeman was especially a memorable one. He helped us a lot! We travelled a long time, but when it was the last part of the journey, we were stranded.
