Route description

From Kamenets, this bicycle variant reaches Kamenyuki, crosses the southern Belovezhskaya Pushcha and emerges onto the road east of the forest. The Minsk–Brest–Paryzh organiser publishes it as a separate sightseeing alternative. Kamenets Tower stands near the start: the surviving medieval defensive building contains a museum. The journey then changes its subject. The nature museum is beside the Kamenyuki entrance, and the Hermit Oak lies on the forest approach. Visits inside the tower and museum are additional and can occupy a substantial part of the day. Connect the history of a fortified town with the forest’s natural story before continuing to its eastern side. Confirm permission for this through visit with the park administration beforehand.
