This place was created to make you bored, so if you are not on your way with boredom, it may be that you will find yourself better elsewhere. The activities we recommend are: going for long walks in the area, reading books and listening to podcasts, morning yoga on a wooden platform, catching up on the TV series on the couch, sessions in the sauna. Long conversations with people with whom you landed in Jabłoniowa Chatka, cooking together and meals eaten outdoors are also good.
If this repertoire of activities in the spirit of words is not enough for you, we can recommend something more.
We are located on the edge of Kalwaria Pacławska, a tiny town with only 160 inhabitants. Kalwaria has its years, because the baroque politician, philosopher and writer, Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro, known as the Polish Tacitus, founded it in 1665. Today, a bell commemorating this generous founder hangs in the local church. Aleksander Fredro considered himself his descendant and borrowed Andrzej's motto for his plays, for example "Zemsta". So if you like history and literature, you have a good reason to visit this place.
Part of the Calvary is the baroque basilica of the Discovery of the Holy Cross. It hides, among others 18th-century altars by a Lviv woodcarver Maciej Polejowski, a representative of Lviv rococo sculpture. His high-class works are distinguished by the elegance of gestures and facial expressions of figures and refined draping of the robes. Art historians will appreciate it, and the rest can feel like on a scientific tour and have fun looking for the most dignified figure in the basilica.
Fun fact: it is in this basilica that each motorcycle season in Podkarpacie begins and ends. The village also comes alive in August, when the Feast of Our Lady of Herbs is celebrated and an indulgence is held in front of the basilica.
In addition, our location is an ideal starting point for excursions to the Bieszczady Mountains and sightseeing in Podkarpacie. Below are just a few ideas that you can use.
- For a sense of freedom and beautiful views, we send you to Połoninki Arłamowskie. It is an unknown part of the Dry Obycz Massif - and good, because it is wild, quiet and delightful.
- You can go to the nearby village of Nowosiółki Dydyńskie to see rural houses from the 19th and early 20th centuries.
- If we were you, we would also see raised bogs in the Upper San Depression. There are educational paths through them, the views are extraordinary and there are rare species of plants and animals (but there are also beavers, the sight of which is just as enjoyable).
- From our cottage you have about 60 km to the Solińskie Lake. You can meet a lot of tourists there in high season, but it's a beautiful lake worth seeing. Due to the windy conditions (high altitude), it is suitable for sailing and kitesurfing. There are many picturesque hiking and cycling routes around the lake.
