On the way from Volozhin в Golshany pay attention to German military cemetery, during the First World War. It is located at the entrance to the village. Ten's managers, 12 kilometers from Vishnevo, even at the entrance an unusual chapel with an eagle will be clearly visible.
Cemetery in the village of Desyatniki equipped in 1922, Russian and German soldiers are buried here. The tomb itself was built during the war, around 1916.
The dominant place in the planning of the cemetery is occupied by a massive chapel with an eagle on the tower. There is a theory that this bird sculpture was delivered from the German city of Bremen.
The tower is made of stone and inspires a certain depressing mood. There are several tablets and signs on the slabs at the base, among which are “Bremen, 1916” – most likely the date and place of manufacture.
The German cemetery was equipped by the Poles, since these lands became part of the interwar Poland after the war. It is likely that Germany still allocates money to maintain cleanliness and order today: the territory is cleaned and well-groomed.
In the Soviet film of 1967, “War under the roofs“, frames flash on which you can see the village of Desyatniki and this military monument.
By the way, in the same film you can see shots with another attraction of Belarus - church in Braslav.
At the cemetery in Desyatniki there are no graves familiar to a Slavic person. There are only memorial gravestones here, most of which are overgrown with moss. There are several pedestals with crosses, most likely the graves of officers.
How to get to this place? Of Minsk the distance is about 109 kilometers, by car the journey will take 1 hour 30 minutes. Possibility to travel by train Railway station Bogdanov, below is a point on the map:
