The Bison Enclosure in Wolisko is a unique place in Masuria where you can see these powerful and majestic animals up close, which are symbols of Polish nature. Located in the Borecka Forest, the demonstration enclosure operates from June to mid-September, offering free admission and the opportunity to observe bisons in a specially prepared area with a viewing platform. Visitors have the chance not only to admire the bisons but also to participate in their feeding under the supervision of a guide, allowing a better understanding of the habits of these animals.
The Borecka Forest is one of the last refuges for bisons in Poland, with a herd of about 80 individuals, some living semi-wild, and others freely in the vast forests. The history of bison breeding in Wolisko dates back to the 1950s when the population of these animals began to be rebuilt after their extinction in this area. The enclosure is an important center for conservation and nature education, and its location among the Masurian forests and lakes makes it an attractive destination for excursions.
Access to the enclosure is easy – it is reached by a marked bicycle trail as well as a road accessible for cars and buses. It is an excellent option for families, nature lovers, and tourists wanting to discover the wild side of Masuria and support bison conservation.
