General presentation
Białowieża Forest
Primary forest, ancient oaks and bison from Europe survive on both sides of the Polish border.
Belovejskaya Pouchtcha National Park, Bison d'Europe and Museum of Nature give the most telling landmarks of Białowieśa Forest. Together, they form a destination where forests and natural spaces meet, with atmospheres that change over the course of the stages rather than just one uniform decor.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: travel currently formally not recommended by France Diplomacy and formalities, access and conditions of visit to check before any project. A car is usually the easiest way to connect the different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be verified step by step.
