Bia³owie¿a is located in north-eastern Poland in the Podlaskie Voivodeship near the border with Belarus. The nearest city is Bia³ystok, the capital of the voivodeship. Bia³owie¿a is also connected to the town of Hajnówka (17 km away) and the town of Narewka.
The border crossing with Belarus (for bikes and pedestrians) is located in the neighborhood of the lovely village. There is a lot of sites of interest in the heart of Bia³owie¿a. We recommend especially those ones:
- Bia³owie¿a National Park, the wizant reserve, the place of the power (Miejsce Mocy) and the Old Oaks (Stare Dêby) routes
- Palace park (Park Pa³acowy) – inside of this park: an obelisk for the memory of hunting of king Augustus III in 1752, tsarist buildings from the 19th century and a gate which is the only remnant of the wooden manor
- Ecological Museum (Muzeum Przyrodniczo-Le¶ne im. prof. Jana Miklaszewskiego) - museum of natural history
- St. Nicholas the Miraculous' Orthodox Church - with a unique iconostasis from Chinese porcelain
- Open-air folk museum (Skansen) - with original huts, windmills and wells
- Graveyard Chapel of St. Cyril (Kaplica ¶w. Cyryla) - from 1873 with an 18th century icon.
