One of the most unusual places in our country. The piles are located near Soligorsk, but the landscape is very similar to Mars. Slagheaps (salt dump) – is a mixture of clay, gypsum and rock salt. These wastes can be called Belarusian attraction, which’s made by Soligorsk "Belaruskali". There are more than 500 thousand tons of slagheaps near Soligorsk, and they are placed on the 10 square kilometers. The height of the piles is about 120 meters. At the distance slagheaps look like real mountains! Unfortunately, Belarusian attraction – it’s just an industrial waste, so you can not see slagheaps at close distance. The heaps are surrounded by moats with salt water and have clay bottom. However, you can admire the alien’s beauty at the distance.

Location: Soligorsk district, Minsk region, villages Chepeli, Pivashi, Chizhevichi.

2. The house of Masons in Minsk.

This house was built in 1817 in the Upper Town in Minsk. A lot of rumors were saying that the house was built by order of masons lodge "Red Torch". But evidence has never been found. Only in 1922, when the building had to be restored, it was noticed that the house was built in the form of the Masonic cross and the windows were tricked (they were bricked up inside, because it was necessary for secret meetings). Now the house of Masons is The Museum of Theatrical and Musical Culture of Belarus.

3. Dukora inverted house. 

"The house of Ellie" is set at an unusual angle: a sense of balance of the human, who will go there, will be momentarily disturbed. Therefore, attraction - is not only fun, but also a test for the organism. The house is flipped upside down - the furniture is installed on the ceiling. This unusual attraction is located in a place that once belonged to famous Belarusian culture and art figures, so there is also a museum, the art street and the beautiful park.
