At the edge of the Drazdy Reservoir in northern Minsk, the Drazdy Forest Park is yet another nice, quiet park running option. The signature loop here is a 2.5 km stone paved path meandering around the edges of the reservoir and the Svislach River. The start point of the route connects easily to the Svislach Velodorozhka, where runners can head south into Victory Park and other points of interest.
