About Belovezhskaya Pushcha

Belovezhskaya Pushcha is one of the oldest wildlife refuges in Europe and a UNESCO World Heritage site. The park contains ancient growth forest and is home to the European bison, the continent's heaviest land animal. It represents the largest remaining part of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain.
