Bialowieza National Park in Poland
Bialowieza Forest, known as in Bialowieska in Poland, is an ancient woodland that straddles the border between the two countries, located 70 km (43 mi) north of Brest (Belarus) and 62 km (39 mi) southeast of Bialystok (Poland). It is one of the last and largest remaining parts of the immense primeval forest that once stretched across the European Plain.
This UNESCO World Heritage Site and Biosphere Reserve lies in parts of the Brest Voblast and Hrodna Voblast in Belarus and on the Polish side near the town of Bialowieza in the Podlaskie Voivodeship.
The border between the two countries runs through the forest. The forest is home to 800 wisent, the continent's heaviest land animals.
