Historical quests

QUESTING – EXPLORERS’ TRIPS IN THE BIAŁOWIEŻA FOREST REGION

The Quest is an effective education and a way for having a great time outdoors. Our offer is intended for everybody – tourists, families with children, organised groups, school youth and adults, and inhabitants of the region.

 

HOW TO SEARCH FOR THE TREASURE?

During the quest you must read the rhyme very attentively and follow provided guidelines that would lead you along a route presenting a selected subject of the game. When tasks specified for individual quests are completed, you will find… a treasure. When you reach the treasure chest, share your experiences in the provided book, and stamp your card with the seal to confirm that you completed the quest.

 

WHAT SHOULD I TAKE WITH ME?

On each quest, take a pen or a pencil, to note answers in the field. You will also need a quest card (a leaflet) or a guide. The quest cards or the guide are available at:
