Recreation

The Białowieża Forest region is an ideal holiday destination for tourists seeking a quiet place and contact with nature. To those preferring active recreation we can recommend rides around Białowieża Forest in horse-drawn carriages, sledges or carts. The beauty of the Forest can be admired when walking on foot, travelling on railway handcars or during kayaking or cycling trips. In the winter time, sledge and carriage rides are organised in the forest. Feasts under stars, smelling of sausages fried over a bonfire, will satisfy even the most demanding gourmets. With an extensive range of recreation services and equipment rental shops you can tailor your holiday to your specific needs.

In the Forest horse riding is allowed only on marked forest roads designated by the district manager. It is forbidden to light fires outside specially designated places. Access to seepage spring areas of rivers and streams is permanently prohibited.
