Royal Oaks Trail
Highlight • Trail
The shape of the oaks and the clusters of their arrangement on the trail also indicate human interference. Relatively low, approximately 32-meter-high, the trees are almost 10 meters smaller than the oaks that have always grown in a compact stand. This means that they were planted by human hands, as a park planting near the manor house that once existed here. One legend says that they were planted on the orders of King Sigismund the Old.
A wooden footbridge leads along the trail, equipped with boards with descriptions of the oaks, named after Polish and Lithuanian rulers who ruled the Forest. Walking along the trail gives you the opportunity not only to get to know nature, but also to deepen your historical knowledge. The author and initiator of this project was Jacek Wysmułek, a forester from the Białowieża Forest District, who in 1976 proposed to protect the entire area and create a historical educational trail there.
The footbridge is adapted for wheelchair users and has additional boards written in Braille. A road connecting Białowieża with the town of Narewka runs parallel to the path. You can get to the Siemianówka reservoir from here.
About 1.5 km north of this place (in section 281 - yellow tourist trail) there are remains of the foundation ruins of another hunting castle, probably built by the Grand Duke of Lithuania, Giedymin.
The Royal Oaks Trail is leased to a separate, private company whose task is to maintain the proper technical condition of the path and cleanliness of the premises. The company charges an admission fee.

In Budy
Highlight • Historical Site
While in Budy, you can visit Sioło Budy and Białowieskie Sioło, which are located almost in the same place. Sioło means a farmstead in eastern dialects. There, you will visit a replica of a farmstead from the forest area, which is almost 200 years old!!!
You will see an old village cottage with a thatched roof. Next to it, there is a wooden pigsty, a barn and a well with a crane, from which water was once drawn. The entire farm is surrounded by a plaster fence made of willow branches. This is a very clever
solution, because when a hole appeared in the fence, all it took was to tear off a few branches
of the willow to have material to patch it up.
