The story goes like this: the German settlement of 1936 in the village of Faszcze in Mazury delighted Marek so much that after he showed this place to his wife, he stopped looking and started planning. He decided that there will be apartments in the pigsty, they will add a glass veranda to the house, take care of the orchard and make a greengrocer. Agnieszka was less enthusiastic and she thought that she would not have enough time in her life to do all this. They lived in Warsaw at the time, but for years they spent all their weekends in Masuria and no longer wanted to be just tourists. They knew what people needed to relax and what Masuria had to offer. There must be nature, views undisturbed by civilisation, nutritious food, preferably from their own crops, rooms not in a hotel, but like in a comfortable Masurian home. As a bonus, the lake, peace and family atmosphere. Because rest is a state of mind. This story took place 15 years ago. They have lived here ever since. Straight and behind a dill field to the right.

Here we speak at a lower volume, so as not to drown out the sound of the birds, the swaying grass and blissful melody of the outback. When the buzz grows louder, it means that it’s mealtime and no one can silence the oohs and ahhs.

On the table, straight from the garden, tomatoes, fresh cucumbers and fruit preserve accompanied by warm black cumin rolls. Then it only gets better. Chips from sage leaves are an addition to pike dumplings, dumplings with organic lamb are poured over with broth, but do not swim in it long. Fresh apple pie is served every day in summer or is sometimes exchanged with rhubarb cake. Beneath the window of the poppy room, poppies redden, and in the yoga room participants of the workshop stretch and ease their tensions.

At Osada Dzika Kaczka, humans do not rule the land. We are merely guests of the Masurian land and we do not disturb the storks that live on our roof and the butterflies that drink nectar from nearby flowers. We try to do as little harm as possible. In exchange for respect, we get unearthly views, the cool water of Głębokie lake, ponds full of fish and prosperous crops.

Come, rest, eat, breathe.

In a place where man is not the most important. We respect nature and we are guests of fields, forests and lakes. The Dzika Kaczka settlement is located on 20 hectares of flower meadows, groves and ponds in the buffer zone of a landscape park, right on the Głębokie Lake, which is located in a quiet zone.

We segregate rubbish and have a composter. We use paper packaging and straws. We even have kindling for fireplaces - made by a cooperative for the disabled. We have built a sewage bio-treatment plant that supplies the ponds in our land. We have equipped the apartments with jugs with water filters for the convenience of guests. We try to live well.

Fortunately, you can eat on the spot, because the nearest store is 2 kilometers away. Our menu card with the Wild Duck is waiting. I think we know a bit about cooking, because guests even come to us by helicopters, but we advise you to check it out for yourself. We run an intimate, home restaurant where you can order coffee, tea or compote with freshly baked cake, eat lunch or dinner by choosing from our short menu.

What are we tempting with? Chocolate cake with whiskey, and this is just a foretaste of our ability to pamper the palate. If this rarity attracted your attention, we will be happy to tell you more. We have refined the recipe for snails in garlic butter, we brew Masurian sturgeon fish soup, serve pancakes with apple mousse for dessert, and then it's just a local beer from a small brewery and on a deckchair. We have a lot of jars this fall. We constantly produce red pine mushrooms, bay boletes and quince and plum preserves. Bake apple cakes, squeeze the last juices out of them, or stew and twist them into cans.

We pay special attention to the quality of the ingredients of the dishes:
- we buy flour in Grodzki Młyn
- add eggs from happy hens to baking
- goat and cow cheeses are supplied by an ecological farm from Warmia and Mazury
- we buy meat at nearby eco farms
- fruits, vegetables and herbs come from our garden
Based on these products, we bake bread and cakes ourselves. We make cold cuts and smoked sausages in our own smokehouse, we bake pates.

In addition to delicious food, we serve words in their purest form. Our habitat hugs the forest, has a stork family behind its neighbors, and 20 hectares of its own meadows, groves and ponds ensure the lack of buildings.

800 steps separate you from Lake Głębokie, which has a first-class water purity and is located in a quiet zone. You can also listen to the fish swimming in the depths and the frogs croaking by the shore. In addition to a large garden with sun loungers, sleeping under an apple tree, stretches in the yoga room, our guests can enjoy a private beach. In summer it is possible to rent a boat.

We will help enthusiasts of active recreation in planning trips, bicycle and horse rides and other attractions. There are plenty of picturesque bike routes around, and you can rent two wheels on site. We are 6 km away from the "heart of Masuria", i.e. picturesque Mikołajki, and only 18 km to Mrągowo. In winter, we organize bonfires and sleigh rides, and winter sports enthusiasts can use the 700 m ski slope with ski lifts in Mikołajki. After the season, we also invite you to go sailing, sleigh or carriage rides, reading by the fireplace and sleeping.

At your disposal are:
- rowing boat, pedal boats, SUP
- hammocks
- a place for a fire and firewood

We run sourdough bread baking workshops with great passion, which we later munch together with home-made additives, and with even more pleasure we organize tincture tasting sessions.

In our room with a panoramic view of greenery, regular yoga classes, workshops and individual lessons are held. We invite people already exercising and those who would like to check if yoga is for them, do something for themselves, take care of their body and well-being. There are rollers, blocks, blankets, belts, ropes and mats on site, as well as a beautiful, soothing view of the Masurian meadows. Classes at the Wild Duck are conducted by Kasia Szacińska, a certified integral yoga instructor.

There are many places worth visiting for travelers: the Sanctuary in Święta Lipka, the Farm and the Galina Palace complex, the Castle in Reszel, the Wild Animal Park in Kadziłłów, the Frontier Ranch, and the promenade in Mikołajki. We also have a friendly horse farm, where you can make an appointment for lessons and horse rides in the forest or plan a kayaking trip on the Krutynia River.

We have not yet met children who would be bored in the countryside. We offer a cross-country run to the lake, a jump from the pier straight to the inflatable ring and popular science observations of algae. Dinner and dessert await you upon your return. Rascals who do not know the concept of fatigue can be taken to a nearby horse farm or plan a kayaking trip along the Krutynia River. In winter, a ski slope, a bonfire in the snow, and maybe even a sleigh ride. There are also daredevils who decide to go swimming with their parents. Such little walruses deserve a medal for bravery.

Entertainment in the climate of forest children is the so-called playground on 20 hectares of meadows, forests and a beach by the lake.
