The park is rarely visited by tourists due to a lack of facilities and infrastructure, theBiałowieża National Park, which covers thePolishpart of the forest, may prove easier to access. The Belaya Vezha Forest (Puszcza) has been known as a protected area since the 15th century when the Grand Dukes of Lithuania turned it into their hunting resort.
