Station Bialowieza Palace
Long long time ago, in the tsarist times, Bialowieza was decorated with a beautiful railway station. The railway station was built in 1897 for the needs of the tsar's residence in Russia, it was destroyed at the end of the 19th century. Today the station has returned - although the building looks like it used to be a bit different - the modern station is a place of family rest, natural education, sweet relaxation. In the Station there is an educational and recreational complex PARK OF KNOWLEDGE AND FUN - where exhibitions, educational events, cultural events and concerts are organized, cinema under the stars is displayed, and nature classes are conducted. Bialowieza Palace Station is primarily:
- AVENUE OF STAR OF BIAŁOWIEKA FOREST. The only such Alley in Poland. You can meet here a lynx or a shrew, discover traces of living of many forest animals, check what a spruce beetle looks like or face a wild tree. The Avenue of Stars is an encouragement to observe the forest, to go deeper into the primeval forest and watch closely the surrounding nature.
- RAILWAY RAMP with gallery. The newly built pavilion on the ramp, modeled on the Tsar's railway station (from 1897), constitutes an attractive exhibition space.
- PLAYGROUND "PATHS OF NATURE". An original, natural playground on which the youngest, together with the guardians, learn about butterfly metamorphosis, life in the pond or leaf secrets. Great fun for all families and a large dose of knowledge in one.
- THE SECRET GARDEN. At the foot of the Station, an English-style garden was established, in reference to the neighboring 19th-century Palace Park of the Bialowieza National Park. Among the more than a hundred species of plants, thousands of insects can be discovered, as well as hidden tracks of forest "stars".
