the Belovejskaya Pushcha national park is a national park of Belarus.
Understand
Belovezhskaya Pushcha ((pl) Puszcza Białowieska) is a primary forest that straddles the border between the Poland and the Belarus. Belovezhskaya National Park covers the Belarusian part of the forest which was designated a World Heritage Site by UNESCO in 1979.
The park is rarely visited by tourists due to a lack of facilities and infrastructure, the Białowieża National Park, which covers the Polish part of the forest, may prove to be easier to access.
Countryside
The deep forest is similar to that which covered most of central Europe until XIVe century.
Flora and fauna
Mammals like bison, wild boar, deer and wild horses inhabit the forest. The forest is also known for its century-old oak trees, some of which make 600 cm in diameter and believed to be over 450 years old.
