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).

Observation tower

Highlight • Viewpoint

The observation tower overlooking the Narewka River floodplains is an excellent place to observe the wildlife of Białowieża National Park. From its summit, a panoramic view of the marsh forests unfolds, providing a haven for numerous birds, including storks and cranes. It's a great spot to quietly admire wildlife and spot animals in their natural habitat.

Royal Oaks Trail

Highlight • Trail

The Royal Oak Trail is an educational trail located in the Stara Białowieża forest.

The shape of the oaks and the clusters of their arrangement on the trail also indicate human interference. Relatively low, approximately 32-meter-high, the trees are almost 10 meters smaller than the oaks that have always grown in a compact stand. This means that they were planted by human hands, as a park planting near the manor house that once existed here. One legend says that they were planted on the orders of King Sigismund the Old.
A wooden footbridge leads along the trail, equipped with boards with descriptions of the oaks, named after Polish and Lithuanian rulers who ruled the Forest. Walking along the trail gives you the opportunity not only to get to know nature, but also to deepen your historical knowledge. The author and initiator of this project was Jacek Wysmułek, a forester from the Białowieża Forest District, who in 1976 proposed to protect the entire area and create a historical educational trail there.
The footbridge is adapted for wheelchair users and has additional boards written in Braille. A road connecting Białowieża with the town of Narewka runs parallel to the path. You can get to the Siemianówka reservoir from here.
About 1.5 km north of this place (in section 281 - yellow tourist trail) there are remains of the foundation ruins of another hunting castle, probably built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Giedymin.
The Royal Oaks Trail is leased to a separate, private company whose task is to maintain the proper technical condition of the path and cleanliness of the premises. The company charges an admission fee.

In Budy

Highlight • Historical Site

A long time ago, in the Białowieża Forest, forest workers, or budnicy, settled. During the day, they worked in the forest: cutting down trees, burning charcoal, and at night they slept in budy, or dugouts covered with brushwood. The name Budy refers to the first houses that were built in this beautiful, picturesque village.
While in Budy, you can visit Sioło Budy and Białowieskie Sioło, which are located almost in the same place. Sioło means a farmstead in eastern dialects. There, you will visit a replica of a farmstead from the forest area, which is almost 200 years old!!!
You will see an old village cottage with a thatched roof. Next to it, there is a wooden pigsty, a barn and a well with a crane, from which water was once drawn. The entire farm is surrounded by a plaster fence made of willow branches. This is a very clever
solution, because when a hole appeared in the fence, all it took was to tear off a few branches
of the willow to have material to patch it up.
