The Jizera Mountains are such a magical place where every village is a palace, castle, ruin or tunnel. Here you ride narrow roads, delight with old houses at every step, get sore neck from admiring the Dark Sky Park, cross-country skiing like Justyna Kowalczyk, stroll for pancakes with chocolate at the Orle shelter, ride bikes to Stóg Izerski or trek through extinct volcanoes. People, how much is there to do here! A plan can be made for a few trips ahead, and you even need to rest, not get over with attractions.
Before you cross the gate of our agro and go to Izery, you can rest on the spot. Soak up the idyllic views, make a fire in the garden, read a book among wildflowers, eat fresh bread with homemade jam or learn something about bees.
We know a little or more about it, and we will be happy to share this knowledge. We organize workshops on honey bees in two basic forms:
- educational and nature workshops similar to those for children,
- specialist workshops on the basics of beekeeping for people planning to gain basic knowledge and practice necessary to start their adventure with beekeeping on their own. You will find out more detailed information on the spot.
Once you take a breath, pause and feel that you are on vacation, you can move on to the area. Our agritourism is located on the outskirts of Leśna - a small town in the heart of the Jizera foothills, and as we have already mentioned, our neighborhood is rich in terms of tourism. Nearby you can:
- Climb the Perkuna Cone, a point on the trail of extinct volcanoes. It is a pleasant destination for mountain walks and a great vantage point with a panorama of Leśna. It is much better to enter the leafless seasons of the year, because the visibility from the top is much better then. In summer, bushes and ticks. The rock formation resembles the cross-section of a volcano and is built of basalt columns.
- Go by bike or walk (3-4 km) to the Miłoszowska Observation Bench. From a charming bench you can admire the Jizera Foothills, the panorama of Leśna, Miłoszów Świecie and southern neighbors - the Czech Republic. The bicycle path connects with the neighboring villages.
- Visit the nearby castles: Czocha (less than 4 km), Rajsko castle, castle in Świecie. The latter is underappreciated, which is a big mistake. The ruins, saved from oblivion by nice owners, have a great history in them. The lady owner presents in detail the history of this charming 14th century castle. For a symbolic PLN 5, you can go inside and see this magical building live.
- Learn the secrets of the Złotnicka Dam. It is an enchanted place that leads through tunnels carved in the rocks. It is also worth climbing the mysterious stairs to the hill and admiring the dam from above.
- On the way to the parking lot by the dam, it is worth covering a few hundred meters along the yellow trail and seeing the Gallows Tower, also known as the Złotnicka Tower. A café opens seasonally in the "medieval castle".
- Walk, cycle or use Nordic walking poles to the Altanka viewpoint. There is a view of the Izerskie Mountains, the Kwisa Valley and its gorge, and the outskirts of Leśna. There are benches where you can relax, there is shade and great bike routes through the singletrack-like forest.
- Go to Leśniańskie and Złotnickie Lakes with beaches, canoes, pedal boats and boat trips (2.5 km).
- Go to the Czech neighbors to the castle in Frýdlant (20 km).
- Have a lot of sports on the Czech singletrack cycling tracks in Nový Mesa pod Smrekiem (13 km).
- Spa in Świeradów Zdrój, see a beautiful spa house where time has stopped, and climb the SkyWalk lookout tower (20 km).
- Take a look at what's going on at Wolimierz Station - our local cultural center.
- Catch a small concert organized in Osada Ptaśnik in cooperation with Borówka Music.
- Explore the Pearl Valley with all its natural benefits.
- Walk on the stone bridge on Kwisa in Gryfów Śląski.
And much, much more. We also love hiking and biking in the Jizera Mountains and winter sports, and we will always be happy to help and advise on active tourism in our region.
