Three nights
in the forest
Christmas in Białowieża Forest — a festive stay at Dwór Bartnika
Christmas Eve in Białowieża Forest. Dinner with carols, festive lunches, a guided museum tour and a winter trip in search of bison — four days in which you need do nothing at all.
Room for 2 and 3PLN 480per person / night
Room for 4 and 5PLN 450per person / night
Suites with sauna and jacuzzi — PLN 530 and PLN 580 per person per night.
Christmas Eve under the first star
Supper at one table with carols played live, and the church for midnight mass is a 530-metre walk.
The forest starts at the door
The ten kilometres of forest tracks used by the outdoor game start at the manor, and the bison feeding site is four kilometres away.
Winter is the best time to spot a bison
The herds come down to the feeding sites, and the winter trip to that area is part of the stay.
What awaits you
24 December, after the first star
Christmas Eve Dinner
Traditional dishes from the Carska Komnata kitchen: hot and cold courses, a sweet buffet and drinks — all to the sound of Polish carols. Please let us know about vegetarian menus and allergies when confirming your booking.
A festive table throughout your stay
Beyond Christmas Eve, food remains the axis of these holidays. Podlasie and Borderlands cooking, unhurried and without fixed hours.

Beekeeping Museum with a guide
Over 3000 exhibits, historic hives, bee-keeping tools and the story of the trade that shaped this region. A guide walks you through the whole exhibition and tells you what the labels do not.
A gathering by the bonfire
Mulled wine, sausages and an open fire. Frost, stars, the smell of woodsmoke and the mood of the Forest — an evening with no programme and no closing time.
The route is physically demanding: ten kilometres of forest roads, footbridges and clearings. We agree the date on site, according to the weather.
Winter trip into the Forest
In the Footsteps of the Forest Guardians
Our trip into the Forest takes the form of an outdoor game. Nine trials, ten kilometres of forest roads and one phone per group — the game opens in a browser, nothing to install. From the shooting range, through tree-trunk beehives and the „Inka” monument, to the Jewish cemetery in Narewka: every point is a task, a photo and a question.
The sixth trial is the Bison Safari — the route follows the roads where bison appear most often.
- Guardian's Card — your whole group's progress, points for tasks and questions, time since the start.
- Route map — the full loop through Narewka, Guszczewina and Mikłaszewo. Nine stages, about 10 km, 180 points to collect.
- Navigation — a button leads you to the next point. You cannot get lost, even in snow.
The winter trip for bison
The best odds of the whole year
The herds come down to the feeding sites, and the Forest under snow looks nothing like the summer photographs. Our winter trip follows exactly those roads, and the nearest feeding site is four kilometres from the manor.
And should the wild herd stay deep in the woods that day, we will point you to the show reserve near Białowieża. The bison are always there.
4 km to the feeding site
The nearest bison feeding place from the manor.
Dawn and dusk
That is when your chances of meeting a herd are highest.
A warm welcome back
The coffee buffet with cakes waits all day.
Also here on the grounds
Sauna and hot tub in the frost
We have a wooden hot tub heated by a fire in the stove beside it, and a sauna. You sit in the water up to your neck, with frost and stars above you and birches all around.
We heat them on request — just tell reception and we will agree a time and the details.
To the church
530 m
Under ten minutes on foot. Midnight Mass will certainly be held; exact times will appear here.

Questions before you arrive
What guests ask most often…
What exactly does the price include?
Accommodation, the Christmas Eve dinner, 3 buffet breakfasts (2 of them festive), 2 festive lunches, a coffee buffet with homemade cakes, a guided tour of the Beekeeping Museum, the bonfire gathering, the winter trip into the Forest and a sweet gift for every guest.
Will we see bison?
Winter gives the best odds of the whole year — the herds come down to the feeding sites, and the nearest one is 4 km from the manor. The winter trip follows exactly those roads. And if the wild herd stays deep in the woods that day, we will point you to the show reserve near Białowieża, where a bison is always visible.
What is on the Christmas Eve table? We have vegetarians and allergies.
Traditional Podlasie and Borderlands dishes from Carska Komnata: hot courses, cold appetisers, a sweet buffet and drinks. You tell us about vegetarian versions and allergies when confirming your booking — the kitchen will adjust the menu.
Is there a church nearby? When is Midnight Mass?
The Church of St John the Baptist stands 530 metres from the manor, under ten minutes on foot. Midnight Mass will certainly be held, and the exact times of the Mass and the Christmas services will appear here and on the website of the parish in Narewka.
How does cancellation work?
A booking can be cancelled. After 15 December a deposit applies — in the event of cancellation the 15% paid is not refunded.
Can we come with a dog?
Yes, pets are welcome once you have told us in advance. An extra charge of 50 PLN per night applies.
How do we get to you and where do we park?
Dwór Bartnika, ul. Hajnowska 2/1 in Narewka, on the northern edge of Białowieża Forest. Parking on the grounds is free and guarded; there is no need to reserve a space.
What about children and extra beds?
Children up to the age of 4 stay free of charge with their parents. We have rooms for 4 and 5 people, so a family usually fits without an extra bed — if one is needed, please write to us when booking and we will confirm availability and price.
