Welcome to the foothills of the Eastern Ridge of the Bardzkie Mountains. We have walked it long and wide, but it is not a big feat as the range is 20 km long and 6 to 10 km wide. The peaks are far from alpine ones, but you can climb them without being in a crazy condition, and the valleys, and the towns cut by rivers and streams in them, look really lovely. In the village of Laskówka, surrounded by green ridges. The former border between Silesia and the Czech Republic used to run here, and this is still remembered by numerous border stones on the hilltops. We direct the seekers wild and rural to us. At the edge of the village, where there are a few more farms, and further on, orchards, fields and forests. When driving through the village, remember to turn left after the bridge on the stream with the same name as the village, and follow the road behind the farms. Before the chapel, take a right turn and welcome there.
We have Dziko and Wiejsko cottages for you, the smell of harvest and a cherry orchard, and also a swimming pool, playgrounds, bicycles, a games room, a sensory path and terraces overlooking the mountains.
We live here as the season commands. In the summer we pick fruit, make juices and preserves. We collect honey from beehives, go for ten-kilometer walks with a break for wonderful, hand-made gingerbreads, fish in a backyard pond, check what's good in our favorite cafe in Nowa Ruda. In winter, the hostess looks into the pantry to recall summer, and the host hides in the studio and carves wood. Together with my grandchildren, we build an igloo, check the weather conditions on the slopes, and bask in the sauna. We have recipes for preserves, a little wildness, a little idyll, proven walking routes and a whole lot of cordiality. We are waiting for you in the Sudetes.
With a view of the Bardzkie Mountains, fields, meadows, the habitat of the neighbors and our house behind the road. With the smell of harvest and cherry orchards (the orchard is a neighbor, so please don't eat it). On this side of the road we have two houses, Dziki and Wiejski, a yard full of fun - you can't really get bored here, and then, behind the fence, there are fields, groves, an orchard and greenery.
Domki Dzikowiejsko are situated on a slight slope, thanks to which the Bardzkie Mountains can be seen from the terraces. Sometimes in the morning you can hear a rooster crowing, a hare will run sideways or our bitch Dorcia, who loves children, will bark and go for walks and be stroked.
The Dziki House is designed for up to 8 people, has a covered terrace and reflects the wildness of the forest. The smell of wood, natural materials, earth colors. The decor reflects the passion of the host Zbyszek for contact with nature and wood carving.
On the ground floor there is a living room with a large sofa, a fireplace, a beautiful wooden table, a fully equipped kitchen and a small room adjacent to the living room. Behind the sliding rustic door you can rest or read a book in peace (you can also sleep here). Downstairs there is also a bathroom with toilet and shower.
On the first floor there are 3 bedrooms, each for two people. They have comfortable continental beds that can be separated into two single beds. There is also a bathroom with shower upstairs. In the bathroom, fresh towels, hair dryer and even mini cosmetics.
The Country House is a 7-person house that reflects the warmth of a home. Warm colors, wood, a large table for the whole family, a fireplace. The smell of baked dough or delicious preserves are all that reflect hostess Halina. Here you will find beautiful Włocławek ceramics, and on the walls are pine boards made of a hundred-year-old floor, which was accidentally saved from burning by the host.
On the ground floor there is a living room with a fireplace, a large sofa, a large oak table, a fully equipped kitchen and a book-lovers corner with a comfortable chaise longue. There is also a bathroom with a shower here.

Make yourself at home and cook whatever you want. The cabins have well-equipped kitchens, where cooking is a pleasure. Contact us for eggs. We have access to fresh, country eggs from our neighbors, so you can buy good ingredients for fried eggs or an omelette.
Zbyszek is a bee specialist in our family. He looks after the hives and it is from the host that you can buy delicious multi-flower honey. Our neighbors run an Ecological Fruit Farm, so access to seasonal fruit is available. Delicious apples can be purchased on the road No. 8, before the exit to Przyłęk. They also produce organic juices, syrups and preserves. For great bread, local cottage cheese and Cyranka mineral water in glass bottles, it is worth going to Przyłęk (bakery right next to the store).
In the garden there is a place for a bonfire, where you will spend long evenings with the accompaniment of Polish "cicadas", that is crickets.
Our favorite, verified addresses of shops, cafes and restaurants can be found on the list below.
Holidays are freedom for us, and freedom is a choice. Reading books on the terrace or pedaling singletrack. Sunbathing by the pool or hiking in the Bardo Mountains. A leisurely stroll by the stream or rafting on the Nysa Kłodzka gorge. Everything in your hands. We are not advocating for anything, but we present the possibilities. And these are for a really long vacation. In Dzikowiejsko it is sporty and idyllic, lazy and very active. For those who rest in motion, we have prepared:
- football pitch,
- basketball court,
- large garden chess, in which the pawns can be members of your team,
- a common room - a game room, where there is a table for foosball, ping pong or a dartboard,
- road and cross-country bikes for small and large,
- swimming pool (heated) and paddling pool for kids - open from 8:00 to 20:00 from May to October.
Just lean your head over the fence and decide where it will take you. On the way up the village, 3.5 km from Dzikowiejsko, the MTB Singeltrack Glacensis routes begin. Start from Łaszczowa Pass: 2 easy routes available from Łaszczowa:
1. Łaszczów - Bardo Loop.
2. Łaszczowa Loop - Złoty Stok - 16 km in total.
Trails for beginners approx. 3 km long, behind the Hotel Bardo.
Before coming, be sure to install the "maps.cz" application. You will find there a lot of inspiration for trips along the surrounding mountain trails - hiking, running, cycling and others. We walk a lot ourselves, we look for adventures among Błędne Skały, Rock Mushrooms and we climb Szczeliniec Wielki, so we know what's going on in the Sudetes. We recommend climbing Kłodzka Góra (yellow and blue trail) with a lookout tower between the Łaszczowa Pass and the Kłodzka Pass. From the tower, after climbing 160 steps, you will be able to admire the Śnieżnik Massif, the Orle, Bardzkie and Sowie Mountains. We recommend getting to the nearby Łaszczowa Pass and starting from there.
Another walking and cycling route is the Wild Classic. 9 km to Graniec through Mała Góra along picturesque ridges through two ravines. Along the way, roe deer, deer, and if you are lucky, you will meet other tourists on the trail. The map.cz application will take you there, of course, by walking or cycling. We have recorded the routes we have traveled in the application, so you can also find a ready-made walking guide there.
After you have walked the length and breadth of the mountains, you can go on an adventurous pontoon trip along the Nysa Kłodzka gorge in Bardo or discover the unique Peat bog nature reserve near Zieleniec. We also recommend:
- See the Gold Mine in Złoty Stok, which will be shown by brilliant guides.
- Visit the Kłodzko Fortress and the Old Town of Kłodzko with the "Charles Bridge".
- Admire the beauty of the Silver Mountain and try a delicious pizza at the Barn.
- Drink mineral water in the nearby health resorts of Polanica Zdrój or Lądek Zdrój.
- Discover the beautiful Marianna Oriańska Castle with the park in Kamieniec Ząbkowicki.
- Go for brilliant hand-made gingerbreads at the Gingerbread Factory in Bardo and arrange a gingerbread painting workshop.
- Take part in cheese workshops in the Sery Lutomierskie studio.
In winter, it is worth:
- Go crazy in the surrounding ski resorts - take, for example, a Zieleniec with an alpine microclimate. Snow is here until May and the station has 30 lifts available. You can ski downhill, cross country or sledge.
- Go to one of the best ski resorts in Poland, Czarna Góra Resort and speed up the Luxtorpeda, a modern, super-fast cable car. Downhill snowboarding or skiing. In summer, Czarna Góra is the pinnacle of sports opportunities. He is in the Clean Air Zone for 365 days.
Alternatively, you can always go lying with a view of the Bardzkie Mountains. And in the evening, relax by the fireplace or in a relaxation house with a Finnish sauna (located at the Uroczysko cottage, behind the fence).
What’s there for children?
Get ready for squeals of delight, leaps of joy, wet hair, dirty knees, ragged elbows and smiles from ear to ear. If your kids can't sit still, they want to know what is behind the nearest mountain, how the apple tastes straight from the tree, when the harvest is taking place, where the stream flows from and who from the family will score more goals - you hit a dart like a six. We have 5 grandchildren ourselves, and as you know, grandparents want to set aside heaven for their grandchildren.
We have prepared so many attractions on site that no weather, no bad mood and no boredom will scare us. For children and adults in the garden, there are:
- Heated swimming pool and paddling pool for children (covered with a roof in bad weather). The swimming pool is open seasonally from May to October.
- Common room - "Games room" with table football, ping pong table, darts and fitness equipment - cross trainer, treadmill, stepper, etc., in which even a storm will not spoil the fun.
- Illuminated football and basketball fields,
- In the garden, large chess pieces to play like in Harry Potter and the small table ones.
- Bicycles and helmets for kids smaller and larger for road and cross-country.
- Place for a fire.
- Swings, sandbox.
- Sensory health path for children and adults, which stimulates blood circulation, secretion of endorphins, activates receptors, reduces tension and stress. Try walking around the pine cones and you will see that it is not a piece of cake.
When kids discharge the small batteries on the pitch to their feet, jump into the pool, play table football, swing, throw into the basket and invent chess games, you will have ten minutes of peace during this time. From the terraces next to the houses, you can see the entire backyard, so you can keep an eye on your kids' madness all the time.
What’s there for employees?
Regardless of whether you choose a wild or country house, you will feel at home in both from the first day of your stay. The cottages are rented as a whole, so you don't have to worry about your roommate eavesdropping during a video call. In the Wild and Country House, in one of the rooms, there is a desk with a lamp. However, if you like to work on a soft surface, we invite you to the salons, where you can spread your office on a comfortable sofa. After a coffee break, we invite you to the third place of work, which is a large table for eight people. After the less pleasant part of the day, it's time to change into swimming trunks or bikini and sprint to the pool to relax. Because that's the essence of workation.
