Climb the wooden viewing platforms at Muczne, deep in the Bieszczady Mountains of south-east Poland, and look across a forest enclosure where European bison graze against the Carpathian slopes. Free-living bison also roam the surrounding beech forests, but they are shy and rarely seen. The show enclosure is open all year, which makes it the sure way to see the mountain bison.
Up to 84% sighting chance in Muczne, Bieszczady Mountains, Poland. Best months: January, February, December.
Free herds live in the forests of the range, but they are shy. Winter, when they come down to the valleys, offers the best chance, ideally with a local guide.
It is a small village in the Bieszczady, near the Ukrainian border, in the far south-east of Poland.
Białowieża is the place for wild herds on winter meadows. The Bieszczady pair an easy look at the enclosure with mountain hiking.
