Belavezhskaya Pushcha National Park
Belavezhskaya Pushcha National Park, UNESCO World Heritage nature reserve in Brest Region, Belarus
The national park encompasses 150,069 hectares of ancient forest with centuries-old oak trees, hosting diverse plant and animal species within its protected boundaries.
The area received its initial protection status in 1932 during the Second Polish Republic, later dividing along the Polish-Soviet border following World War II.
The administrative center in Kamyanyuki features a Museum of Nature and an Eco Education Center where visitors learn about local biodiversity and conservation efforts.
Visitors can explore the park through scheduled bus tours, bicycle rentals on designated trails, or guided hiking excursions starting from the main entrance.
The national park maintains a population of 300 European bison, successfully bred from just 12 surviving specimens after near extinction in 1919.
