Białowieża Forest

Białowieża Forest. Feel the might of nature in Europe’s oldest primeval forest. Meet the Kings of the Forest – European bisons – which freely roam these lands. Take a walk on the Bison’s Ribs – a boardwalk pathway, which leads into the heart of the forest. Wander into the depths of the Strict Protection Area, which is accessible only with a licensed tour guide. You will be left in awe over the sheer number of the shades of green, the vibrant micro cosmos of a moss-covered tree and the monumental majesty of ancient oaks. Experience the peace and harmony which drive the life of the Forest. Białowieża itself offers a number of historic treats, such as the beautiful Palace Park and the former railway station built for Russian Tsar Nicholas II, which now hosts the Carska Restaurant. The Białowieża Forest is a UNESCO World Heritage Site. European bison / Photo by Jan Walencik
