This place is the key to a different, magical world. Summer lasts the longest here in Poland, autumn has the most beautiful scent of golden leaves and mushrooms, and in winter you get to know the area by cross-country skiing. Over the Chyżym Potokiem, where a narrow valley separates the Bardzkie Mountains from the Sowie Mountains, trolls are said to live. Cellular coverage has not been seen for a long time, although many outstretched arms hunted for this dubious good.
We invite you to an extraordinary place where silver was once mined, and gold a bit further away, and we cherish a real treasure - an old house with an interior it wraps around, a kitchen with a tiled stove and a forest behind a fence. In the morning, in baskets, we deliver a breakfast that smells of home-made bread and local delicacies, so that you have the strength to continue your activities: devouring the next pages of books or bicycles. A beret's throw from home, we have several hundred kilometers of routes for both beginners and crazy cyclists. You can also lie in the garden and eat fruit from the old orchard, walk along the stream or play board games. We made sure that everything was as it should be: with comfortable sofas, linen smelling fresh, an armful of books and deer walking up to the windows. Nothing fancy, but ...
This is yet another life for this house. We are lucky that each of them was good, and the long years did not crawl through our mountain cottage. The previous owners took wonderful care of it, and when it came into our hands, it received new interiors and a lot of tenderness. The house is located on the premises of a small farm, which consists of: our house, a huge garden, an orchard, Chyży Potok and peace and quiet.
We rent the house in its entirety, for a maximum of 6 people, but if you want to come in luxury as a couple, of course it is possible. The interior is full of details, natural colors and materials and a lot of attention that we paid to small things. They create the atmosphere of Jemna 55. The house has two floors and a mezzanine. Let's start from the top.
On the mezzanine:
- sleeping space with a large, most comfortable double bed in the world, which gives the feeling of sleeping under the sky.
Main floor:
- this is the living space - huge, bright, with large windows and beautiful views, really comfortable sofas and armchairs, and then a wooden table, huge radiators and a larch floor made of wide boards. An old chest of drawers, pillows and blankets make you want to stay here, relax, take a nap and read books, regardless of the season and weather.
Floor below:
- a cosy kitchen with a ceiling made of wooden logs, walls made of real bricks and a unique tiled stove,
- a beautiful, bright bathroom with a cast iron bathtub, wooden furniture and a small window through which the sun's rays fall. This is where you take a glass of wine, turn on a podcast and foam the water in the bathtub. And then you are out of the world for a while.
There is also a corridor with a brick floor, a red chest of drawers, and our favourite drying racks, i.e. memories of summer. From here you will step straight into a lush, ever-changing garden. In summer, the walls of the house are green with wild vines, and the trees are bent with rowan.
For those who are willing, and believe me, it pays to be willing, we have slow food meals, served without fakery and quick solutions. Every morning there will be a breakfast basket waiting for you at the door, full of oohs and aahs. Fresh bread, homemade sandwich spreads, vegetable pâtés, cottage cheese, meats we bake, local cold cuts, cheeses from a nearby cheese factory, eggs without a stamp and vegetables. Sometimes in a package, sometimes not all at once. It all depends on what menu we plan for a given day. Let yourself be surprised. If you want more, let us know ;) Dinner for a special occasion, birthday cake, picnic basket or dinner. Let me know!
The house also has a wonderful kitchen at your disposal with a real tiled stove, but also with respect for modernity (gas stove, oven). This place is so cozy that you don't want to leave. And try cooking something on real fireworks - it's a fairy tale! You can also eat here, because there is a dining table by the windows.
When asked if we have any attractions, we answer: we only have a hammock under the tree. There is peace and quiet around, chirping crickets, the forest at your fingertips and the sounds of a stream flowing by the house. You can start chlorophyll therapy in the garden, and then go beyond the fence into the forest and continue to relax in the sounds of nature. After returning from a walk, you can immerse yourself in reading, because you have plenty of books, cut yourself off from reality, because there is no coverage and enter the relaxation mode. In case of bad weather, you can always lie under a warm duvet for half a day and listen to the rain knocking on the windows.
Jemna and its surroundings are beautiful walking paths, brilliant bicycle routes and tourist attractions of a European scale - it is located between the Bardzkie and Sowie mountains, about 3 km from Srebrna Góra, which was once known as the "Pearl of the Owl Mountains". If you do not like laziness, you can go on a nearby reconnaissance and see silver and gold mines (in Złoty Stok), mount a stallion from the Stud in Książ, or go on a hike along the Cistercian trail. In addition, the viaducts of the former rack railway, tunnels of the silver mine and Zieleniec Ski Arena, where you can hit winter sports.
We have a lot to offer cyclists and cycling amateurs. You have 2 km to the brilliant Enduro routes of Srebrna Góra from Jemna. So you can pack your bikes on the trunk and treat our house as a brilliant base for cycling madness. Enduro Srebrna Góra is constantly developing, but at this point you can try your hand at 9 routes of varying difficulty. From those for kids to those for hardcore. There is also a training ground, bicycle rental and instructors who can introduce you to the world of mountain riding. Enduro Srebrna Góra is part of the Sudety MTB Zone, which is the largest bicycle route system in Poland with a total length of 550 km. In winter, the Orange trail - easy and pleasant, connecting the Silver Pass with the Wolf Pass, turns into a cross-country trail. As if that were not enough, there is also Singletrack Glacensis, i.e. 23 loops of one-way forest routes and one two-way section.
We also have in the area:
- Srebrna Góra Fortress - the largest mountain fortress in Europe and a place that delights with its architecture, but also has quite a history. From us, a 1.5 hour walk through the forest.
- Książ Castle in Wałbrzych, where Princess Daisy resided, and later the Nazis who hid a few things here - 50 km.
- Grodno Castle on the beautiful Lake Lubachowskie (40 meters high stone dam) - 40 km from us.
What’s there for children?
It's definitely magical and analog here. There are no electronic stimuli or interruptions. Instead, we offer a garden like your beloved grandma's, apples straight from the tree, a roaring stream and board games. Our children are doing well. We also have a swing and a sandbox, a stream under the house, hills to climb, no car traffic and a lot of sticks :)
