Bialowieza Forest or Belovezhskaya Pushcha is a visiting card of Belarus, a unique place – according to the ideas that have emerged in modern science, this is a remnant of a relic primeval lowland forest that grew in prehistoric times in Europe. Belarus is in itself an unusual state. But lately tourists are not interested in Minsk with its urban charms.
All pulls out of town, away from the hustle and bustle. For example, in Bialowieza Forest, where expanse and where silence was hidden. At the entrance to the national park will have to part with the car and go to enjoy nature on foot. Even if you go hard, you still have to. You can ride bikes. This is both pleasant and helpful.
To this day, in Bialowieza Forest, the same pristine thicket has survived that covered vast territories hundreds and thousands of years ago.
But Pushcha will repay you a hundredfold for your feat. What can you see there? Pines. These are clean air generators and breathing under them is like treating lungs for half a year ahead. Small animals, such as squirrels and hares. There are many of them, even more than. So before going to Bialowieza Forest stock up on nuts. Squirrels and hares love nuts.
And of course, it is worth looking at bison. This is a really magnificent animal with wild habits. But you can feed him too, or at least take part in it. There are special pens and foresters offer tourists to care for bison. Well, of course, not in their presence, they appear later, when food is already in the tubs. Majestic, calm, horned … Bison are less and less in the world, so you will not lose much if you look at these animals.
And then you can meet and deer. This animal is special. Beautiful, sophisticated and very shy. So if you spot it, you need to stop and do not move. Then he will be in front of you in all its glory. A special value in Belovezhskaya Pushcha is lakes. There is crystal clear spring water. If desired, you can see wild swans. Yes, there are such. See, make a wish, say it will come true. Belorussia is a forest country. Minsk is a city where communism hid somewhere around the corner. Clean, tidy, people – calm, attentive and very neat.
So you should definitely visit this place, at least, because it is considered the last untouched European forest. But don’t go far from the roads, but then you will have to either somehow get out yourself, or stupidly sit and wait when they find you. But it will be remembered for a long time.
