Visiting the Demonstration Enclosure of European Bison in Muczne

The Demonstration Enclosure of European Bison in Muczne is an interesting place for a short walk.

We can reach the viewpoint of the enclosure from the parking lot using a wide, asphalt road. Two well-positioned covered viewing points allow you to observe the vast bison habitat.

We can admire these rare and majestic animals... and if we're lucky, we can see bison roaming freely near the car park!

...but if we're less fortunate, the bison may be hiding behind bushes, lying in tall grass, or resting in a distant corner of the enclosure. Some patience will come in handy!

If someone gets bored, they can take a walk along the forest path and come back later. Maybe then they will succeed? And always remember to bring binoculars!
