Belovezhskaya Pushcha is the oldest national Park of Europe situated in Western part of Belarus along the state border with Poland and partially on the territory of Poland. Name of the park comes from the name of Belovezha Castle ("belo" means "white" and "vezha" means "tower" in Polish and Belarussian languages) situated in Poland. Nowadays the national park occupies the area of 85 thousands hectares stretching from North to South for 65 km and from West to East for 10 to 30 km. Once the area was reserved exclusively for hunting for Polish kings (1410-1794) and Russian tsars (1794-1914). Nowadays Belovezhskaya Pushcha withing territory of Belarus possesses status of national park.

Belovezhskaya Pushcha National Park is one of the most famous places in Belarus. The park is famous for its ancient nominal oaks that are considered to be more than 500 years-old. It is the only forest tract in Europe remaining actually intact. Variety of flora and mild climate form favorable conditions for life of forest animals. Here live 55 species of mammals, more than 200 species of birds, 11 species of amphibia, 7 species of reptiles. However, the most remarkable wild animal of the park - and the biggest one in Europe - is European bison called "zubr" in Belarussian.

 

In 1992 UNESCO listed the National Park as a World Heritage Site. In 1993 it got the status of a Biosphere Reserve and in 1997 was awarded a Council of Europe Diploma. Belovezhskaya Pushcha is one of the four most famous and unique original forestlands in the world.

The estate functions all year round.

In the woods, clean, uncrowded. The track is wide and suitable for Cycling. The bike is a little expensive (14 EUR in addition to the entrance ticket), but walk around the whole Forest in a day. It is interesting to visit Valery with the animals. On Lyadsky beautiful lake in Karelia.

В лесу чисто, малолюдно. Дорожки широкие и пригодны для велосипедных прогулок. Велосипед в прокат дороговат (14 BYR помимо входного билета), но пешком обойти всю Пущу за день невозможно. Интересно посетить вальеры со зверями. На Лядском озере красиво, как в Карелии.

Cool place that would be nice to spend a weekend with the family. For entertainment I recommend Cycling routes and a stroll along the enclosures with the animals. Don't forget to bring mosquito spray and snacks for the bison to feed the animals is prohibited, although this did not stop).

Классное место что бы неплохо провести выходные с семьёй. Из развлечений рекомендую велосипедные маршруты и прогулку к вольерам с животными. Не забудьте захватить спрей от комаров и вкусняшку для зубра ( кормить животных запрещается, хотя это никого не останавливало).

How to say.... If You lived in the city, and leaving for Moscow (no matter what) for something irreparable, then this is Your place, otherwise, it is a Forest. And Yes, great for rental.

Ну как сказать.... Если Вы всю жизнь жили в городе, и выезд за МКАД (не важно за какой) для Вас что-то непоправимое, то это Ваше место, в остальном же это Лес. И да, велики на прокат так себе...

хорошее место, чтобы насладиться дикой природой, покататься на велике, подышать свежим воздухом, посмотреть на диких кабанов и лис. но все платные развлечения дорогие!

Unfriendly staff greets you immediately. The restaurant was empty, the tables are unkempt, although the first impression is rich. Meals of bison, elk are not edible, chew - a must try, delicious. Salad the dream of a Forester, all of canned food, it would seem near the forest, chanterelles, no, in a dish, pickled mushrooms. Pork stewed with potatoes in a pot, consists of a pair of pieces of pork, more than half of which is fat. Shame on the cook, this is not a restaurant, and eatery low level!

Неприветливый персонал встречает вас сразу. В ресторане пусто, столы неопрятные, хотя первое впечатление богатое. Блюда из зубра, лося не съедобные, прожевать - это надо постараться, не вкусно. Салат мечта лесника, весь из консервированных продуктов, казалось бы рядом лес, лисички, нет, в блюде маринованные шампиньоны. Свинина тушёная с картошкой в горшочке, состоит из пары кусков свинины, больше половины из которых жир. Позор повару, это не ресторан, а столовка низкого уровня!

Great place. Better to go with your bike, as bike hire can spoil your mood for a long time. If you have a visa, you can ride on the Polish side of Pushcha. The poles can come over to our side and without a visa.

Отличное место. Лучше ехать со своим велосипедом, так как велосипеды из проката могут испортить Вам настроение надолго. Если есть виза, можно прокатить на польскую сторону пущи. Поляки могут приехать на нашу сторону и без виз.
