It is always a long way to Mostowice. From almost every perspective, this village lies at the end of the world. About 480 km from Warsaw, 340 km from Poznań, 587 km from Gdańsk, 315 km from Kraków and 128 km from the nearby Wrocław. However, the urge to escape the city was really strong, and it was from the capital of Lower Silesia that brought us to Wzgórze Owiec (Sheep Hill), 300 metres from the Czech border, where there is no Polish cell coverage and poor internet. The population of the village is also modest. Fourteen people live here, and there are four of us, so we strongly represent Mostowcians.

First, there was the name because we called it Wzgórze Owiec, but there was no sign of woollies. Eight months after the move, the main characters appeared. In the beginning, we didn't know anything about sheep, all we knew was that we had to choose a variety that would feel comfortable in our mountain conditions. We chose the original Bergschaf breed (Tyrolean mountain sheep) and the Olkuska breed, which are characterised by their hardiness and friendly nature. Our sheepdogs are real tough guys. They can wade through 1,5 metres of snow, they are not afraid of rain or sun. We take care of them the best we can, we give them names, we give them haircuts, and they thank us with their sweetness.

If the city has given you a hard time and you miss the silence, feeding your eyes with the green, blue and fluffy woollies, we invite you to our windy hill. Into the doorstep of a barn, to the smallest guest house in the world. We have an apartment for you with a separate entrance, across the wall from our hosts, in close proximity to a sheepfold, a henhouse, the Orlické and Bystřice Mountains. From the top, we have truly picturesque views. Czech pastures where cows, horses and sheep graze. In the morning mists, we can see roe deer nibbling on our meadow, and there are supposedly wolves in the area, although we haven't seen them yet. Luckily, because our herd would be in danger.

We invite you to a mini agrotourism almost abroad, where we welcome all seekers of the end of the world with open arms.

Sheep Hill is not only an unearthly view like from a fridge magnet, but also a beautiful building that has an eye on the ranges of the Bystrzyckie and Orlickie Mountains. It is a barn, which is the most intimate guesthouse in this part of Poland. We have only two apartments for you: for a family of 5 or a good team of friends and for 2 people.

From the windows of your apartment you can see a beautiful forest, pasture and lake, and in the morning you can see deer nibbling on the grass. We invite you to our house, where we offer you 100% independent apartments with separate entrances, modern bathrooms and fully equipped kitchenettes. Each apartment has comfortable, large beds. There is also a table for shared meals, grouse in the hen house and enveloping silence.

There is also a fire place or grill if you feel like it. Around the building there are pastures with a chicken coop.

Due to our own pets, we invite you without dogs.

You cook what you want, and we don't look into your pots. Your apartment has a fully equipped kitchenette that you can use during your stay. There is a fridge, an induction hob, a kettle, dishes, a French press and a coffee machine. There is, of course, a place for a barbecue and a bonfire in the garden, so star performances and smoke-soaked clothes are guaranteed. This is what summer smells like.

We have our own eggs from our hens, so we can sell some. But you know how it is with free-ranging chanterelles, sometimes there are eggs and sometimes there are not. So we don't guarantee that they will.

It's worth it by the way and it's worth it especially. At the Spalona Pass, in the Bystrzyckie Mountains, since 1895 there has been a PTTK Jagodzice Shelter. There you will fill your rumbling tummies to the full, eat tasty, fresh and regional food. We wholeheartedly recommend dumplings with creamy sheep cheese seasoned with onion and bacon from the pan, i.e. Wióry Orlickie, pancakes with fresh blueberry sauce, mutton stew with homemade dumplings, dumplings with aromatic turkey meat, served with pepper butter and a few other outstanding items.

One returns to Osmelak Valley like a boomerang. There is a trout fishery here, so you won't find fresher ones. You can catch a specimen yourself with a fishing rod. Then, straight from the water, it lands in a pan with butter. It couldn't be tastier.

If you are looking for something really special, head to Duszniki-Zdrój for Dobre Smaki restaurant. Here you will eat really exquisite, seasonal and beautiful. The menu changes like a kaleidoscope, but it's always delicious.

And then there's Zakręt - street food & art with sensational open-air cuisine, served by Edzia and Mars. Look for a stone house on the biggest bend on the Spalona - Bystrzyca Kłodzka road.

We live on a hill, one of the highest points in the area. The views for city dwellers and those sensitive to beauty are soothing. Mountains, forests, roe deer, deer, hares, tractors mowing meadows, bales of hay and a small village below. This painting landscape simply does not get boring.

You can observe weather phenomena, because we have never seen a sky like this anywhere else. A full rainbow after the rain, cirrus forming sea waves, pink clouds at sunset, milky mist in the morning and navy blue cumulonimbus before a downpour.

It is worth getting up early, because between 5:00 and 6:00 in the morning our meadow is visited by a herd of deer and roe deer. They can't resist the fresh tufts of grass and nibble to the accompaniment of the bird's radio and in the morning mists. You can quietly observe them a step from your home.

With us, because of the Hill, it often blows 90-120 km / h and it can be cold. But in summer it is warm and the wind is such that kites soar like eagles in the blue of the sky. Take a kite with you and feel the child's joy of flying them into the ether.

Summer is haymaking, so MTZ runs back and forth, in winter we train our muscles while clearing snow, and when we have created snow corridors, and we still have some strength, we go skiing to the neighbors in Areál Černá Voda. We have 300 meters to the Polish-Czech border, so it's a stone's throw. For skiing, of course, we also recommend the Zieleniec SKI Arena - the mecca of Lower Silesians. You can also go skiing with your Czech neighbors - Ski Ricky and the Ski Destna Center in the Orlickie Mountains are only 15 minutes away by car.

It is an ideal place for cyclists, we have several Single Track tracks in the area, for walkers - you can go hiking from the house, cross-country skiers, because there are plenty of cross-country trails in the area.

We recommend a hiking trip to the Spalona Pass. Here, in the Bystrzyckie Mountains, on the way you can still meet real tourists, wandering with greetings on their lips, and the views are an advertisement in themselves. If you get there, you have to stop for a meal at the PTTK Jagodzin. Here you will find solace, you will make up for the caloric deficit and you will be delighted that shelter food can taste like this. There is also a ski lift nearby, cross-country skiing trails are maintained, there are also numerous hiking and biking trails, and the Sudecki Horse Trail runs through here.

Around Mostowice, right under your nose, there are many attractions, e.g. the lookout tower on the Jagodni mountain, the lookout tower on the Czech side of Wielka Destna and the lookout tower on the Orlica mountain, where it is worth climbing for heavenly landscapes. You can go for a Walk in the Clouds in the Morawa Valley, to the Bear Cave in Kletno, to the Lagoon in Stara Morawa, to the Peat Bog near Zieleniec, and this is just a prelude to the entertainment in the area. We will tell you about the rest on the spot.

You can also just sit by the fire and do nothing. You can pick mushrooms, read a book on a lounger, take a nap and breathe fresh air. Everything is possible, nothing is needed. Such rural luxuries.

We have a playground, lots of space to run and ride a bike. Children can ride the real MTZ and see what the world looks like from the tractor's position. On cloudless nights, you can watch the moon and stars through a telescope, and in winter slide down the hill on your nails, because there is plenty of snow on our Hill. During spring walks, you can find dropped deer antlers, a deer or a whole herd may cross the road, and wolves roam the area. You can get dirty, turn your knees green, roll on the grass, and our Hubi and Lusia will surely find rural ways to deal with boredom. They are the perfect guides around the local nooks and crannies.
