When traveling through the relic forest, the route most often follows a grid system or winding paths. However, there are also some old and little-used roads with engineered solutions. In most cases, these routes are the sites of narrow-gauge railways from the last century.

The history of their formation begins on August 17, 1915, when a network of sawmills and tar factories was built in the Belovezhskaya Pushcha region.

Construction of a narrow-gauge railway network began in the spring of 1916 to provide infrastructure for the supply of raw materials. This created a network of 130 km of main tracks and a mobile (portable) network of approximately 200 km.

Up to 1 million cubic meters of timber were transported annually along the Pushcha railway network.

In the post-war period (approximately by the mid-1960s), their use virtually ceased. Belarusian section of the railway was dismantled.
