#localescapes
Embark on a quest to encounter the Bialowieza National Park's most regal residents—the European bison. In these hallowed woods, these magnificent beasts, some weighing up to 1,000 kilograms, roam freely, embodying the untamed spirit of the wilderness. 🦬
Life-sized sculptures are scattered all across Bialowieza, each lovingly carved to honor the diverse inhabitants of this extraordinary haven. These sculptures are more than mere art; they are a captivating window into the astounding biodiversity that thrives within these ancient woods. 🪟
The park's arboreal wonders are no less impressive, boasting centuries-old trees that stretch to heights exceeding 50 meters. 🌳
By delving deeper into the wilderness you'll find yourself amidst the primeval Bialowieza Forest, an ethereal realm that has earned UNESCO World Heritage status. Did you ever imagine that Bialowieza is one of the last, grand remnants of the immense primeval forest that once blanketed Europe?😲
Tips and Tricks⁉️
🤷♀️Bialystok - (Hajnowka) - Bialowieza
The biggest hub for getting to Bialowieza National Park is Bialystok. There you'll find some direct buses to Bialowieza. 🚌 In Bialystok go to "Dworzec Autobusowy" (Bus Station) right next to the train station and you'll find your ride there. In case you missed the last direct one you can get on the bus to Hajnowka and try your luck hitching a ride. 👍 (We did just that and it turned out to be easy and fast).
🌬️Weather can be somewhat unpredictable so taking umbrella allong on a clear blue sky day is not as crazy as you might think.🌦️☂️
👁️🗨️Bison Show Reserve (Rezerwat Pokazowy Żubrów), is a place where you can marvel at these magnificent creatures up close. While you're there, remember to respect their natural habitat by
maintaining a respectful distance.🦬👀
🗺️Even though "Google maps" does a solid job of navigation in Europe, when it comes to small hiking routs "Maps.me" takes a throne. A magnificent hiking loop trail that goes through local forest from Bialowieza to Bison Show Reserve and back is a beautiful 1.5 hour long walk. If you want to take it - you know where to find it.🥾
Enjoy!❤️💚💙
