The Tourist Train in Białowieża

The Białowieża tourist train is a road-going sightseeing vehicle shaped like a train: a locomotive with covered carriages that travels on streets, not rails. It offers an easy way to see Białowieża and the surroundings of the Białowieża Forest without a long walk.

What is the ride like?

The operator is Białowieski Express. The train leaves from the car park at 17 Kolejowa Street, next to the PTTK office, and follows sightseeing routes around Białowieża and near the forest. Individual and group rides are available, and groups can arrange a route suited to their programme. Listen to the guide’s commentary and remember that this is a recreational road ride, not a trip on a historic narrow-gauge railway.

Białowieża and railway heritage

The ride can be combined with Białowieża National Park, the Nature and Forest Museum, the European Bison Show Reserve or Białowieża Towarowa station. The station recalls the former Hajnówka–Białowieża line and the history of forest railways.

Practical information
