Belovezhskaya Pushcha UNESCO

The legendary Belovezhskaya Pushcha is one of the oldest reserves in the world, the largest of the remaining parts of the huge relict forest of Europe, which many centuries ago extended from the Baltic Sea to the Bug and from the Oder to the Dnieper.

The unique natural area that unites Belarus and Poland is included in the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition, Belovezhskaya Pushcha is the largest of the four national parks in Belarus (the area is almost 153 thousand hectares).
