The Royal Oak Trail is an educational trail located in the Stara Białowieża forest.

The shape of the oaks and the clusters of their arrangement on the trail also indicate human interference. Relatively low, approximately 32-meter-high, the trees are almost 10 meters smaller than the oaks that have always grown in a compact stand. This means that they were planted by human hands, as a park planting near the manor house that once existed here. One legend says that they were planted on the orders of King Sigismund the Old.
A wooden footbridge leads along the trail, equipped with boards with descriptions of the oaks, named after Polish and Lithuanian rulers who ruled the Forest. Walking along the trail gives you the opportunity not only to get to know nature, but also to deepen your historical knowledge. The author and initiator of this project was Jacek Wysmułek, a forester from the Białowieża Forest District, who in 1976 proposed to protect the entire area and create a historical educational trail there.
The footbridge is adapted for wheelchair users and has additional boards written in Braille. A road connecting Białowieża with the town of Narewka runs parallel to the path. You can get to the Siemianówka reservoir from here.
About 1.5 km north of this place (in section 281 - yellow tourist trail) there are remains of the foundation ruins of another hunting castle, probably built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Giedymin.
The Royal Oaks Trail is leased to a separate, private company whose task is to maintain the proper technical condition of the path and cleanliness of the premises. The company charges an admission fee.

The Trail of Royal Oaks and Lithuanian Dukes is an educational path about 500 m long. The trail runs among dozens of beautiful, old oaks. Each oak was named after Polish kings and Lithuanian princes. All oaks are between 150 and 500 years old. The path is educational in nature, because walking along it, you learn about the history of the Białowieża Forest, Lithuania and Poland from the 12th to the 18th century. The Royal Oaks and Lithuanian Princes Trail was established in 1978 to save a unique community of ancient trees.
