The Pinsk Marshes (Belarusian:Пінскія балоты, Pinskiya baloty), also known as the Prypiackija baloty or Pripet Marshes (Belarusian:Прыпяцкія балоты) 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 Kiev 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.
