Białowieża, Poland 3–7 October 2026
Ancient Forest and European Bison
Białowieża National Park is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the last large lowland forest in Europe's deciduous forest zone. It is a remnant of the forests that covered almost the entire continent thousands of years ago. In places, the trees are up to 700 years old. The area has been said to represent the forests of the European Stone Age and early Bronze Age, where the history of nature feels alive. Alongside more familiar species, the Białowieża forest is home to the wild European bison — the largest land mammal in Europe. The terrain is fairly flat and hiking takes place along easy, gentle trails. You can book your own accommodation in the village of Białowieża, or enquire about joining shared accommodation in a single or double room. Accommodation prices are very reasonable. Feel free to ask for more information. The Niemen river flows through the national park

Lithuania's Largest National Park and Ethnographic Villages
The journey back to Vilnius passes through Dzūkija National Park, where we explore Lithuania's largest national park. Dzūkija is a culturally and historically rich area in south-eastern Lithuania, known for its pine forests, sandy hills, and authentic ethnographic villages where time seems to have stood still. You can book your own accommodation in the spa town of Druskininkai, or enquire about joining shared accommodation in a single or double room. Accommodation prices are affordable. Ask us for more details.
