Białowieża straddles the Polish–Belarusian border and holds the last substantial area of primeval lowland forest in Europe, with dead wood left standing and trees several centuries old. The strict reserve can only be entered with a licensed guide. It is also the stronghold of the European bison, which was brought back from extinction in the wild here.
