Belovezhskaya Pushcha, Belarus
One of Belarus’s four national parks, this fragment of primeval forest is all that remains of the woodland that once covered lowland Europe from Russia to the Baltic states, Denmark and Ukraine. With an astonishing variety of rare flora and fauna, the park gives a sense of what travelling in Europe would have been like thousands of years ago. The forest is home to large populations of European bison, wolves and lynx, but as yet very few tourists. You’re on your own with pronunciation.
