Białowieża is a tourist village in the heart of the Białowieża Forest. It combines everything that is most valuable in the region - the unique nature and the beauty of Podlasie culture.
Białowieża is surrounded by the ring of the Białowieża Forest - a lowland forest complex stretching on both sides of the Belarusian-Polish border, inscribed by UNESCO on the List of the World Heritage of Humanity, and in which the last fragments of natural forest have been preserved.
