Green Velo section between Hajnówka and Budy

Highlight (Segment) • Cycleway

The road is light, easy and pleasant. Unfortunately, for me such a long straight section is very tiring. Nevertheless, it is better to take this path than the asphalt road to Hajnówka.

Natural forests of the Białowieża Forest

Highlight • Forest

A place for rest and relaxation. There are even dishes (glasses) inside the shelter. There is a place for a bonfire next to it. The shelter is secured with foil, most likely against the wind.

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.
