On the Polish side, part of the Białowieża Forest is protected as the
Białowieża National Park (Białowieski Park Narodowy), with general area
of about 100 km
2 (39 sq mi). There is also the Białowieża Glade (Polana Białowieska), with a complex of buildings originally owned by the
tsars
of Russia, the last private owners of the forest (from 1888 to 1917)
when the whole forest was within the Russian Empire. A hotel, restaurant
and parking areas are located there. Guided tours into the strictly
controlled areas of the park can be arranged on foot or by horse-drawn
carriage. Approximately 200,000 tourists visit the Polish part of the
forest annually. Among the group offers are: bird watching with local
ornithologist,
[3] watching bisons in their natural environment,
[3] and sledge and carriage rides with a bonfire.
[3] The popular village of
Białowieża lies within the forest.
