Suchowola is one of places, called as centre of Europe. Actually there are a few such centers – in Lithuania, Ukraine, Slovakia... Possibly, every research method to fix centre is different, conception of Europe’s territory is considerable matter as well.
The place was known as centre of Europe even from 18th century, when Polish geographers established it.
Overall Suchowola is small city, about 60 kilometers from Bialystok. Monument near the church marks the center of Europe.

Bialowieza forest is one of the most significant forests in Europe, remind of medieval times, when such look of forests were typical. The site was fully included to UNESCO World heritage list in 1992.
Forest is famous due to its European bisons and old massive oak trees. At Russian tsar's rule and Worlds War I bisons were hunted till no one left. 1929 was decided to start breeding them again in natural surroundings.
The museum in Bialowieza represents the nature of forest, provides panorama of surroundings. The place is about 60 kilometres from Bialystok, could be reachable by bus.

Imagine a typical Eastern Polish village - wooden hamlets, meadows, woods. Bohoniki has all this, but lacks the Christian crosses of either Catholics or Orthodoxes that are so familiar in this region elsewhere. Little wonder - Bohoniki is one of the twi remaining Tatar villages and taking pride in its wooden mosque instead. The Tatars live in this area for more than 300 years, the privilege of settlement a reward by the Polish crown. Aside from Bohoniki, there is yet another Tatar village, Kruszczyniany, about 25 miles away

Not only Bialystok but many places hidden far from the main roads and sometimes even beaten paths... Enjoy some pictures, but better come and breath the atmosphere of places where time goes slower!
