Białowieża National Park
From Wikitravel
The Białowieża Forest (National Park) in Podlaskie Vovoidship in Poland at the boarder with Belarus is on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
[edit] Get in
The town of Bialowieza is on the edge of the forest.
[edit] By plane
There is an international airport in Warsaw: Warsaw Frederic Chopin Airport: For those travelling from Warsaw serviced by Polski Express. See also: Routes/Timetable
[edit] By train
The Polish State Railways have train connections from Warsaw via Bialystok. The train takes two and a half hours and runs every two hours. It is also possible to take a train to Hajnówka which is closer to the forest, but the trains are slower and less frequent. The forest can be reached by both places by bus.
[edit] By car
You can easily get there by car from Warsaw via Bialystok.
[edit] By bus
There are bus-services from Białystok and Hajnówka to Bialowieza. There are several busses running per day, but they are run by different companies it's hard to get a timetable of all of them.

- Bialowieza Forest tours, (Register for tours at the museum in the palace park). Visitors should understand that the "primeval" section of the forest is strictly off limits, open only to scientific expeditions and guided tours. Don't expect to "Huck Finn" your way into the wilderness. Tours begin at 165 Zl (~70US) and only cover a small, peripheral, part of the forest (~2-3km or looping trails at the edges of the forest) Still quite a striking experience. edit
