Pinsk, Administrative district in Brest Region, Belarus.
This place is an administrative district in Brest Region, southwestern Belarus. It covers both urban centers and wide rural areas along the Prypjat River with its floodplains.
The current administrative structure took shape in 1954 when the former territory was integrated into Brest Region. This reform reorganized Soviet administrative boundaries across Belarus.
Residents often speak Belarusian in daily life and maintain rural traditions tied to farming and river life. Wooden houses and small farmsteads still shape the appearance of many villages across the area.
Smaller settlements are linked by regional roads, and distances between them can be significant. Visitor facilities are usually concentrated in the district capital.
The Prypjat marshlands run through wide parts of the territory and have shaped where villages and paths formed over centuries. Some of these wetlands are among the largest in central Europe.
