ULTRA Duch Puszczy

Get ready to meet a true legend! ULTRA Duch Puszczy in Hajnówka this isn’t just a race – it’s a mystical expedition into the heart of the Białowieża Forest, the last primeval forest in Europe. Here, cycling becomes adventure, and the scent of the old forest accompanies you at every kilometer. The courses (ranging from gravel distances to ultra) wind through wild expanses, gravel highways, and forest paths, where your only supporter might just be the king of the forest itself – the bison. This is a race that tests not only endurance but also the ability to live in harmony with nature 🌲🚴‍♂️💨.

The Cathedral of the Holy Trinity in Hajnówka – an architectural masterpiece with incredible acoustics. Even if you don’t come across the famous International Festival “The Days of Orthodox Music in Hajnówka”, the interior and the atmosphere of this modern Orthodox church will offer you a moment of deep calm 🙏.

Bison Display Reserve – if you didn’t cross them on the big gallop, head to the reserve along the road to Białowieża. A stroll among bison, Polish koniks, and lynx is the ideal cool-down at a relaxed pace 🦬.

The Hajnówka Narrow-Gauge Forest Railway – soak in the atmosphere of the old forest economy. A ride through the heart of the forest in small wooden cars is a fantastic way to explore without stressing tired legs 🚂.
