Bison Enclosure

Wielkopolska


About 500m west of the forestry techniques exhibition, an outpost of the Museum of Forestry, in Gołuchów's forest park you can find several European bison living relatively freely in a large, fenced-off enclosure. Follow the Żubry (bisons) signs from the exhibition, or follow one of the trails from the main road to the lake and then another to the west for a few hundred metres.
