Poland, 9 days
Our Poland Spring tour takes you to the most famous national parks of the country, Białowieża and Biebrza National Park which is a classical combination.
Białowieża Forest National Park, established in 1947, is one of the largest and last undisturbed lowland primeval forests in Central Europe. We also have tours to its Eastern part to which belongs to Belarus. The Polish part covers 10,500 hectares and it is home to European Bison, Wolf, Lynx and Wild Cat. 160 bird species are nesting within the park including Black Stork, Short-toed, Booted and Lesser Spotted Eagle, Hazel Grouse, Eagle Owl, Common Rosefinch, Nutcracker and Golden Oriole. There are about 250 bird species recorded, among them 14 species of birds of prey, 8 species of owls, and 8 species of woodpeckers.
Biebrza Marshes National Park is the largest national park in Poland. It was created in 1993 and covers nearly 60,000 hectares of vast marshes, wet meadows and woods. Between March and May most of the area is flooded by the Biebrza River creating a shallow lake that holds huge numbers of water birds. 275 bird species were recorded in the park and 186 permanently breed here, of which Aquatic Warbler, Greater Spotted Eagle and Great Snipe are the most notable ones. The park is also home to populations of Elk and Wolf.
