Moving from Volozhin towards the urban village of Ivenets along a rather harsh dirt road, you can get to the territory abandoned sanatorium "Forest". This place is well known to lovers of outdoor activities, there is a popular parking lot nearby where rafting on Isloch starts.
A good tiled road leads to the abandoned sanatorium, and the building itself seems to be completely intact from afar.
But the closer you get to the building, the more obvious that it has long been abandoned. All the attributes are in place: broken windows and doors, graffiti, trees on the roof and so on.
Decline Sanatorium "Forest" began after April 26, 1986, a well-known date in our history - the Chernobyl accident. Though Nalibokskaya Pushcha located a couple of hundred kilometers from the zone of infection, a radioactive spot (Caesium-137) has formed here. For this reason, the fate of the sanatorium was a foregone conclusion, but there are other versions of the closure according to which radiation has nothing to do with it.
True, according to some sources, the sanatorium continued to work until the mid-90s.
The building can be entered from any direction, all doors are open or broken. Once inside, you begin to involuntarily count how many years the Lesnoye sanatorium can already be abandoned and how long it can stand.
Walking through the building we find ourselves in the former dining room or banquet hall.
There was a high ceiling and parquet floor, and behind the white decorative figures was the kitchen. The refrigeration equipment and the supply system still partially remained, everything else was looted.
Further flight to the second floor. Attention is drawn to the tile on the stairs - it's granite. Surely they tried to dismantle the plates several times, but no one succeeded.
Most of the living rooms appear in the same form - they managed to endure absolutely everything in them.
On the third floor, the floor is dangerous. It is difficult to say how many years the floors will withstand. Part of the side wall, along with the fire escape, has already collapsed.
The resort itself is quite compact and is one large building. Nearby is a two-story brick building in which the attendants probably lived.
