Wilderness Landscape & Natural Heritage
Białowieża Forest National Park is a sanctuary for both ancient woodlands and a wide variety of wildlife, including the European bison. Covering about 105 square kilometers, the park represents Poland's most significant national park, located near the border with Belarus. The park is primarily forested with diverse tree species including oak, ash, and spruce. Historically, this forest has remained largely untouched for thousands of years, providing a key genetic bank for many plant and animal species. Visitors can enjoy hiking and exploring a range of ecosystems, from dense forests to open meadows, spotting rare birds and mammals along the way. The park also includes historical sites such as the Palace Park, adding cultural significance to its natural wonders. Rare flora and fauna make it a great destination for wildlife enthusiasts, photographers, and hikers.
