In this vlog we will show you what is worth visiting in Białowieża within three days, without having to use a car. We will tell you about our recommendations and places worth recommending. Get to know this unique place!


---------------------------------------------------


Białowieża is located in eastern Poland, right next to the border with Belarus. It is famous for its forest, which has not been changed by human and has been living its own life for centuries. We can see here what the natural forests that once covered the lowland areas of Europe looked like. The forest areas are protected, and it has been included on the UNESCO World Heritage List as the only natural place in Poland.


The largest animals in Europe, the bison, live in the wild in the Białowieża Forest. At the beginning of the last century, these majestic animals were on the verge of extinction and were saved here. Today their population is approximately 1 000 individuals! Outside the Forest, you can meet them in the Bison Reserve, which we will also visit.


Due to its location in the east of the country, in Białowieża we experience the influence of Polish and Belarusian culture, as well as the Catholic and Orthodox religions. This combination can be seen in the delicious and natural cuisine of this region, which we highly recommend!


In Białowieża you will find several interesting monuments, including two beautiful wooden railway stations and palaces. The surroundings of the town are also interesting and it is worth renting a bike to get to know them better. We traveled through the nearby forest to see the mysterious Place of Power, which is believed to be a place of worship of pagan deities. There are many bicycle paths, they are well marked and the terrain is flat, so lovers of two wheels will find something for themselves here!


While in this region, it is also worth visiting Hajnówka, which is located about 20 kilometers from Białowieża. Long-distance trains from Warsaw and Białystok reach this town, so it is worth considering it as a stop during a trip to these areas. In Hajnówka you can take a ride on a narrow-gauge railway that goes through ancient forests and is an interesting experience of getting to know them from a different perspective. Moreover, there are Orthodox churches worth seeing in the town, for example the church of Holy Trinity with an unusual shape.
