Go near Żuławy! We know at least 3 reasons why you should be there:
1. Few people
We do not know why Polish tourists rarely come here, giving way to travelers from Germany and the Netherlands, which probably come here because of the ghosts of the ancestors - the Olęders.
2. Copernican and Mennonite trail, Teutonic lands
This is for cognitive tourists, i.e. those who like to bring new knowledge from the expedition. There is Frombork and the stars from Copernicus, arcaded houses and amazing cemeteries from the Mennonites (break of Protestantism), and Malbork from Teutonic Knights.
3. Lowlands, Mennonites and bicycles
If you ask what the hell you can do in the lowlands, there are many answers, but one of them we particularly like: bicycle routes! This Mennonite counts up to 195 kilometers. It is not easy to find accommodation, so we are willing to offer ours. Climatic, with soul and good food.
Something for connoisseurs of nice interiors and historical surroundings. It lies on the Copernicus route, close to Malbork, Frombork and Elbląg. There are beautiful beaches of the Vistula Spit, and you can get to Krynica Morska by a water tram from Tolkmicka, 10 km away.
„A magical place. Excitable hosts - I recommend it to everyone who is looking for rest, peace and at the same time comfort.”
The guests are awaited by a barn apartment, consisting of a living room with a kitchenette, a large bathroom and two bedrooms in the attic. The place is open all year round.
