POGANTY - Obora

If you have found your way here, it is a sign that you are drawn to the wilderness. Welcome to Poganty, 7 kilometres from Giżycko, there are no others on the map of Poland. You may wonder how people find such holes in the middle of nowhere, but I know the answer to this question. Ten years ago, my parents found an old farmhouse where they could settle down for their old age. To say a ramshackle farmhouse is like saying nothing at all. Buildings to be completely renovated, 4.5 hectares of land, no civilised road. The countryside in its purest form. However, my parents got into the renovation groove and couldn't stop. The plan was simple - renovate two buildings, but in their haste, they renovated all five of them. Then they decided that the place didn't appeal to them. For a few years, the big family (I have nine siblings) came here once or twice a year, until I decided that it was a shame to visit only on special occasions. We have a special room for workshops, a barn for weddings, and the Jałownik, Mały Domek and Obora for sleeping. I tell you that sleeping in this kind of barn is not as bad as it sounds. A stone, red-tiled one, where each room has its own bathroom and balcony. Where a shared kitchen allows integration and every window overlooks the greenery. There are nine rooms and one suite. You can take them all at once, you can take them individually. I invite you to the meadow, to the pond, to the lake. Sometimes you can hear the clucking of our hens, the sound of goats and the buzzing of beehives. Apart from our neighbours - roe deer and elk - we have a military training ground on one side (3 km away) and post pegeer fields on the other. So in summer, there is a harvest from dawn to dusk, and all year round, once a month, there are training sessions on the training ground, and for 3 hours, you can hear gunshots from afar. Apart from that, not a dog with a limp foot is interested in the surroundings, which is the most beautiful thing about it.
