Podlasie itself is a magical land, but it is the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest and the attractions it offers that make it one of the most popular tourist destinations. The Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest itself is the most valuable forest area in Europe in terms of nature. There are almost three thousand giant trees here, reaching the size of natural monuments. There are huge spruces over 50 metres tall, oaks, ash trees and lime trees over 40 metres tall. The oldest of them sprouted during the reign of King W\u0142adys\u0142aw Jagie\u0142\u0142o. It is home to around 12,000 species of animals (deer, roe deer, wild boar, wolves, Eurasian lynx) and around 1,100 species of plants. No wonder that the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest and the attractions it offers attract thousands of people from all over the world. Its absolutely unique feature is that it is a global refuge for the European bison, the largest animal in Europe, which would not have survived to this day if it were not for the forest. The Bia\u0142owie\u017ca area was inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1979.<\/p>\n

Bli\u017cej Natury is located in the very centre of the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca Forest and the town of Bia\u0142owie\u017ca.

Nearby, you will find the headquarters of the Bia\u0142owie\u017ca National Park and the BPN Nature and Forest Museum, hiking and cycling trails, a health centre, a pharmacy, grocery stores, restaurants, the Municipal Office, a police station, and a border guard post. For those who want to eat well, there are bars and restaurants in the vicinity (the nearest restaurant is less than 100 metres from the Bli\u017cej Natury complex). It is an ideal place for active recreation, hiking and cycling, carriage rides, sleigh rides or draisine rides.<\/p>\n
