Main information

Białowieża Forest

See and feel the might of nature in Europe’s oldest primeval forest. Meet the Kings of the Forest – European bisons – which freely roam these lands. Take a walk on the Bison’s Ribs – a boardwalk pathway, which leads into the heart of the forest. Wander into the depths of the Strict Protection Area, which is accessible only with a licensed tour guide. You will be left in awe over the sheer number of the shades of green, the vibrant micro cosmos of a moss-covered tree and the monumental majesty of ancient oaks. Experience the peace and harmony which drive the life of the Forest.

Suwałki Landscape Park

The Suwałki Landscape Park offers jaw dropping vistas. Its unique landform was created by a glacier 10,000 years ago and features picturesque hills, green valleys and gleaming lakes. 

Dive into Poland’s deepest lake – Hańcza, soak up stunning views from atop the Cisowa and Zamkowa hills, and marvel at the moonlike landscape of thousands of postglacial boulders scattered around the Bachanowo nature reserve.

Biebrza National Park

The largest national park in Poland covers a vast wetland full of marshes and peat bogs. The Biebrza Valley has retained its natural character and provides habitat for a wealth of bird species, including the remarkable ruff, which proudly flutters its wings in the Biebrza National Park’s logo. Featuring an extensive network of hiking, cycling and kayaking trails, the Park lets you immerse (at times even literally!) in the pristine nature untouched by human hand.
