Green Velo section between Hajnówka and Budy

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The road is light, easy and pleasant. Unfortunately, for me such a long straight section is very tiring. Nevertheless, it is better to take this path than the asphalt road to Hajnówka.

Known for the protection of the best-preserved fragment of the Białowieża Primeval Forest, the last fragment of primeval forest in Europe, and the world's largest libertarian bison population, numbering several hundred.

Observation tower overlooking the Narewka River wetlands

Highlight • Viewpoint

From this observation tower you overlook a marshy area where numerous storks and many other birds can be observed. Less than 500 meters on foot further, you will see some remarkable trees.

Białowieża Palace Station Pavilion

Highlight • Monument

Białowieża Palace - currently closed final railway station located in the center of Białowieża. The railway station was built within 4 months of 1897 for the needs of the residence of the tsars of Russia - the palace in Białowieża - erected by order of Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The tsar and his family traveled by train for hunting, which was prepared for weeks or even months earlier. Before his arrival, the entire station was decorated, he was greeted by the whole entourage. After the destruction of the wooden pavilions from the end of the 19th century during World War II, a station building in the late modernist style was built in their place in the 1970s, which was destroyed after being abandoned after 1994. The route to Hajnówka was used for over 100 years until the line was closed on December 31, 1993 due to unprofitability of transport. In the years 2014-2015, the construction of a new wooden pavilion referring to the railway station from the end of the 19th century was carried out. Due to the terrain limitations, the reconstructed building is not an exact copy of the old one (it was shortened and reversed; the original station faced the park and the palace).

Tsar's Palace Gatehouse, Białowieża

Highlight • Historical Site

The Palace Park located in Białowieża was established at the turn of the 19th and 20th centuries around the hunting residence of the Russian tsars, built in the years 1889–1894. Its area is approx. 50 ha. The main building of this residence was the palace, which burned down in 1944. Only the so-called kitchen gate survived. The buildings that once accompanied the tsar's palace have also survived: the Management House, the Marshal's House, the Jegierski House, the Drivers' House, the Bath House. In the place where the palace once stood, today there is the Directorate, the Nature and Forest Museum and the BPN Guest Rooms. The park was designed in the English style, also called landscape style, by the famous planner - Walerian Kronenberg. Its characteristic feature is the free compositional assumptions, with the plant thread coming to the forefront. Against the background of compact trees, single trees and their small groups growing in the clearings look picturesque. Of the approximately 200 species of trees and shrubs planted here, nearly 90 have survived to this day.

Palace Park

Highlight • Historical Site

This beautiful park is located just north of the tourist office. It is not part of the national park, which means entry is free. You enter by crossing a small bridge over a canal. It dates from 1890 when the village of Bialowieza was still under the control of the Russian tsars.

The latter also had a palace built which did not survive the vagaries of time. In the large wooded park, a Victorian-style building has a small museum which intelligently introduces you to the animal species that you can discover in the Białowieża Forest.

Place of Power

Highlight • Natural Monument

Places of Power are places with a very large concentration of positive charges, which have a beneficial effect on the body. For humans, it is felt as a form of subtle vibration. Sensitive people, subjected to its effects, are full of vigour, rest faster and feel greater contact with nature. The place of power in branch 495 was discovered by accident in January 1993 by three people from Białowieża: Sergiusz Tarasiewicz, Borys Rusko, Piotr Bajko, who were looking for a small monument commemorating the death of a worker repairing the nearby Hajnówka-Białowieża railway line. It was destroyed by the Germans in 1944. The discoverers were enchanted by the positive feelings they experienced there.

In the spring of 1994, the area was examined by the famous dowser and geomancer Leszek Matela. He classified the find as a so-called Place of Power. The radiation recorded here is significantly increased in relation to the surroundings.

In September 1994, the dowser and bioenergy therapist Andrzej Ciupek confirmed the results of earlier studies. He classified the area as a place with a stronger effect than Jasna Góra, which he had previously examined, as well as its Orthodox counterpart, Święta Góra Grabarka.

It is believed that it was a place of pagan worship, as evidenced by the cleverly arranged stone circle. A legend forgotten today has it that in prehistory there was a hidden place in the Forest, where initiated people gathered to use their power and the power of stones to stop enemies approaching settlements hidden in the Forest.

The glade is located in the Białowieża Forest District, in section 495. It is about 0.5 km from Białowieża. A trail of about 4 km leads to the place of power. There is a parking lot here and railway tracks unused by trains. During the tourist season, handcars run on them.
