Białowieża National Park, National park in Podlaskie Voivodeship, Poland
The park encompasses 10,501 hectares of primeval forest on the border between Poland and Belarus, containing ancient trees and diverse plant species.
Initially established as a forest reserve in 1921, the area received national park status in 1932 and gained UNESCO World Heritage recognition in 1979.
The park includes a 19th-century Palace Park complex designed by Walery Kronenberg, featuring a wooden manor house and sandstone monuments from 1752.
Visitors can access protected areas exclusively through guided tours limited to groups of 20 people, with hiking and bird watching activities available.
The forest maintains the largest population of European bison, alongside wolves, lynx, and over 8,000 invertebrate species in their natural habitat.
