Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park (Belarus)
Беловежская пуща
One of the last primeval forests in lowland Europe and a UNESCO World Natural Heritage Site. At the Kamenyuki section, you can see European bison and cycle along forest trails.
The Belarusian side's visitor center is in the village of Kamenyuki, with a natural history museum and large enclosures where European bison, deer and wolves roam. You can rent a bicycle and ride along paved forest paths. The classic loop is about 20–40 km and passes century-old oak trees and the estate of Father Frost. The site is about 70 km from Brest, roughly 1.5 hours by bus or hired car. Visitors can enter under the Brest–Grodno visa-free zone rules. Booking through a travel agency or the park is required.
