In the north of Kazakhstan, in the Burabay district of the Akmola region, a small and quiet village with a poetic name, Zeleny Bor (Green Forest), is comfortably located. The name itself speaks volumes – greenery really reigns here, nature seems to embrace everyone who comes here and does not let go. This place breathes peace and harmony – there is no fuss of big resorts, but there is a real sense of unity with nature. The main wealth of these places is nature. Trails lead from the village to the picturesque corners of Burabay: Lake Borovoe can be reached on foot, and a little further the routes to the Okzhetpes rock and other iconic places begin. From the village there is a road to Big Chebachye Lake and further to Small Chebachye Lake.

Information -
The village of Green Forest (Zelyony Bor) is a place where time flows differently. People here live leisurely, in harmony with nature. Many residents are engaged in agriculture, keep livestock, grow vegetables, make preparations for the winter and enjoy simple things – birdsong, sunsets over the forest, delicious homemade food. The village is surrounded by pine forests and hills, offering beautiful views of the surrounding forests, lakes and hills. In summer, there is really fresh air, filled with the smells of pine needles and steppe grasses, and in winter there is a snow fairy tale, where every house is like a part of a good old legend. The locals cherish the traditions and legends of these places. They will tell you about a healing spring in the depths of the forest, the water of which, according to legend, gives strength, and will show you the most beautiful corners not listed in the guidebooks. The famous sights of the Burabay National Park are nearby - and if you suddenly want adventures, lakes and rocks, all this is literally a 30-40-minute drive away. But the Green Forest itself is a great place to reboot, live in silence, take a walk in the fields, pick mushrooms and berries in the forest, and feel the real rustic tranquility. It's good to be here in spring, when everything comes to life, and especially in autumn – when the golden fire of foliage covers the places, and a light fog creeps over the village in the morning.
The Green Forest is not just a point on the map. This is a place for the soul, for those who are looking for simplicity, silence and a true connection with the earth. And if you're lucky enough to come here, you should know that nature will be your friend.
