Things to see and do Parc National De Białowieża

This animal is the main tourist attraction in the Bialowieźa Forest. In this zoo-like reserve, you will have the opportunity to learn more about this animal and its way of life. Here, too, you will come across other singular animal species, such as the tarpan and the Żubroń, a cross between the bison and the ox. For children, a more modern area will allow to know everything about this animal around video games and other fun attractions.

The Orłówka protected area is defined as primary forest, as it has never been exploited by man, and is the most protected part of the park. It can be visited with a guide (contact the tourist office to arrange a tour), but the majority of its 4750 ha remains closed to visitors. The itinerary is approximately 7 km long. If you want to increase your chances of seeing animals, it's best to visit early in the morning or before sunset.

Białowieźa National Park is inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List and on the List of World Biosphere Reserves. It offers beautiful walks, in the middle forest, to discover its fauna and flora. You will not be able to explore this part of the Forêt forest, probably the most beautiful, located north of the village, without being accompanied by a guide. The tourist agencies of the village will propose their services. You can ride by bike, foot or carriage. The youth hostel sometimes organises excursions in the evening or at dawn, the best moments to observe animals.
