The Pinsk Marshes , also known as the Pripet Marshes , the Polesie Marshes, and the Rokitno Marshes, are a vast natural region of wetlands along the forested basin of the Pripyat River and its tributaries from Brest to the west to Mogilev to the northeast and Kyiv to the southeast. It is one of the largest wetland areas of Europe. The city of Pinsk is one of the most important in the area.
The Pinsk Marshes mostly lie within the Polesian Lowland, hence Polesie Marshes , and occupy most of the southern part of Belarus and the north-west of Ukraine. They cover roughly 269,400 square kilometres surrounding the sandy lowlands of the dense network of rivers and rivulets forming on both sides of the Pripyat River, one of the main tributaries of the Dnieper. Dense woods are interspersed with numerous marshes, moors, ponds and streams extending 480 kilometres west to east and 225 kilometres north to south. The marshes undergo substantial changes in size during the year, with melting snows in springtime and autumn rainfall causing extensive flooding as the river overflows.
