Royal Oaks Trail
Highlight • Trail
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.

St. Nicholas Orthodox Church
Highlight • Religious Site
According to local records, as early as the 17th century, there was a small Orthodox church in Białowieża, which was burned down along with the village during the plague of 1710. Records locate the church on Browska Road. The only surviving relic of it is said to be a bell from 1661, located in the cemetery chapel. Unfortunately, there is no confirmation of this information in known written sources. Initially, the Białowieża residents were assigned to the parish church in Shereshevo, which received funds and privileges from Ivan Abramovich as early as 1517. After the construction of the church in Suchopol in 1680 and the establishment of the Suchopol parish, they transferred to it. In 1704, the Białowieża manor received the right to collate and present the Suchopol priests from King Augustus II. Białowieża's affiliation with the Suchopol parish is confirmed by visitations from 1748, 1757, and 1769. In 1757, it had 733 faithful, including 83 from Białowieża. In 1769, the parish had 251 families – 23 from Białowieża (56 people were recorded as having gone to confession). Around 1782, the church in Suchopol burned down. Because the chapel built in its place could not accommodate all the parishioners, construction of a new church began. Construction work lasted seven years. In 1799, Białowieża, with 30 families, was still part of the Suchopol parish, although it had already had its own church for several years. The Białowieżaites may have been assigned to the Suchopol parish as late as 1800, but the 1801 visit does not mention them. The Orthodox church in Białowieża was built in 1793. The church's foundation deed was issued on May 2, 1797, by the Chief Treasurer, Major Jan Szczepanowski.

Białowieża Palace Station Pavilion
Highlight • Monument
Białowieża Palace - currently closed final railway station located in the center of Białowieża. The railway station was built within 4 months of 1897 for the needs of the residence of the tsars of Russia - the palace in Białowieża - erected by order of Tsar Alexander III in 1894. The tsar and his family traveled by train for hunting, which was prepared for weeks or even months earlier. Before his arrival, the entire station was decorated, he was greeted by the whole entourage. After the destruction of the wooden pavilions from the end of the 19th century during World War II, a station building in the late modernist style was built in their place in the 1970s, which was destroyed after being abandoned after 1994. The route to Hajnówka was used for over 100 years until the line was closed on December 31, 1993 due to unprofitability of transport. In the years 2014-2015, the construction of a new wooden pavilion referring to the railway station from the end of the 19th century was carried out. Due to the terrain limitations, the reconstructed building is not an exact copy of the old one (it was shortened and reversed; the original station faced the park and the palace).
