Did you know, that...
National Park in Bialowieza is the oldest national park in Poland.

It was established in 1947. Its most precious fragment is an Area of Strict Protection, where human influence is reduced to minimum. In there nature obeys its own laws. Both ecosystem and structure of the forest in this area has remained unchanged for ages.

Within the area of strict protection one can observe natural life-cycle of a forest which is a very rare opportunity. Both very young trees as well as ancient and sick ones may be found there.
