Zalesie Łany

There are 15 hectares of land around, with a spruce forest, meadows, an old orchard and a homestead where our fluffy children live. There is also the oldest house in Zalesie: wooden, on clay foundations, the only one that has survived in this area. It stands on our plot, but for now we do not touch it: let it last, as it has been for many years. There is a new house nearby: small, modern, but cozy, so you can come here for a romantic weekend for two or a trip to the countryside with the kids. What we have in it: – a double bed on the mezzanine, – additional sleeping on a fold-out sofa downstairs, – a living room with a sofa, a goat, a TV and an armchair, – a well-equipped kitchen, – a bathroom with a shower, – terrace with deckchairs, table and chairs, - a hot tub behind the house. We are in the Przemyśl Foothills, so if you have always wanted to visit this part of Podkarpacie - here is a very pleasant starting point. If you didn't know you wanted it, that's even better. Krasiczyn and Przemyśl are a pear's throw from us, so you can go there to learn about the culture and history of the region, and during your stay in the house: just enjoy the silence and closeness to nature. Right next to it there is a farm where two of our alpacas and two goats live. They will be delighted if you feed them hay and stroke them behind the ears. We have another resident here: our dog, who lives in a pen. He loves all guests and willingly takes them for walks. He is the best guide in the area. We live in Przemyśl and come here regularly to feed the animals. During your stay, you can take care of it yourself - unless you don't want to.

Here you will have to cook for yourself: but in a cozy home kitchen. We suggest that whatever you cook in it, it tastes best on the terrace, overlooking the orchard below. In the fruit season, make the most of it: why don't you eat granola with fruit for breakfast or make a colorful smoothie? We also have a gas grill, so on warm afternoons and evenings we recommend grilling. However, we inform those who do not cook that it is close to civilization. A 10-minute car trip and you're in Przemyśl: enjoy a good pizza in La Costa or eat a bowl of hummus in the cozy interiors of the Cuda Wianki restaurant.

When someone asks us about the biggest attractions in this place, we say peace and quiet. We bought this land as a family over 20 years ago and for a long time we just came here to camp: walk in the woods, help our feet in the stream (it flows lazily 700 meters from the cottage). We suspect you may have similar needs. So if you need a detox from the city, come here. They are waiting for you here: – walks around the area, among greenery, – stroking and feeding our alpacas and goats, – playing with our dog, who will be happy to show you around, – unlimited relaxation in bubbles in a hot tub, – reading a book on a hammock or deckchair (you can also use our library: we have various items – from biographies to political ones), – catching up on Netflix series in the evenings. The charm of our location, however, lies in the fact that resting in the forest does not have to end. You will find yourself in the Przemyśl Foothills, which we strongly encourage you to discover. We have here historic towns, picturesque villages, wooden Orthodox churches, we have San in the north and the Sanocko-Turczańskie Mountains in the south. And a lot more. Industry You will be really close to Przemyśl: 9 km. If you were traveling by train, we would recommend you to get off at the historic station from 1860, considered one of the most beautiful in Poland: in 2020 it even received the title of "Station of the Year". Whatever means of transport you choose, it's worth seeing. Just like the Market Square and the Old Town, the Museum of Bells and Pipes in Przemyśl, the Lubomirski Palace or the Kazimierzowski Castle, which offers a panoramic view of the entire city. Another important attraction is the Przemyśl Fortress. At the beginning of the 20th century, it was one of the largest fortresses of modern Europe. Today, after the magnificent forts, there are mysterious ruins that can be visited on foot, by bike or on horseback. Krasiczyn In Krasiczyn, however, there is a castle, which attracts not only young wizards (at one time, thematic camps were organized there and the sight of children in robes and wands was not surprising to anyone). The Renaissance-Mannerist building impresses with its 4 towers reflecting the hierarchy of the world approved by its founders, sgraffito wall decorations and a magnificent park (200 species of trees and shrubs from around the world!). Pacławska Calvary The village with the Basilica of the Discovery of the Holy Cross attracts pilgrims, but it is also worth visiting for non-religious reasons. In the Baroque basilica you will see 18th-century altars in the Lviv rococo sculpture trend. And an interesting fact: Kalwaria was founded by a Baroque politician, philosopher and writer, Andrzej Maksymilian Fredro, called the Polish Tacitus. Aleksander Fredro considered himself his descendant. Suchy Obycz and Połoninki Arłamów The highest peak of the Przemyśl Foothills overlooks the village of Arłamów. You can get to the top, for example, from Przełęcz pod Suchy Obycz along the blue trail. The massif is not known to a wider group of tourists, but it is a very picturesque part of the Sanocko-Turczańskie Mountains. In the close vicinity there are borders of two landscape parks: the Słonne Mountains and the Przemyskie Foothills - this is a very valuable natural region, where there are, for example, bird protection areas. On połoninkach, where there are wonderful views, you can feel freedom and you can catch a deep breath. Few people visit it either. Valley of Faith The region stretching along the right tributary of the San River is shrouded in mysterious stories. It is situated right next to the Polish-Ukrainian border. The Wiar, one of the cleanest rivers in Poland, is 70 km long, of which almost 60 are on the Polish side. You can go to the very source of the river, located on the northern slopes of the Brańcowa mountain - just watch out for wetlands. We also provide passwords for other places in our region worth visiting: – Arboretum Bolestraszice, – Krępak Nature Reserve, – wooden Orthodox churches of the Przemyśl Foothills, – Salis Soglio fort in Siedliska. If you are ready for longer hiking trips, check out the hiking trails: – Red Przemyśl-Sanocki Trail, – Rybotycki Trail, – Arłamów Trail. An important information is also that we are located right next to the Green Velo route. If you want to explore this region of Podkarpacie by bike, it's hard to find a better base. In addition, there are many good bicycle routes in the area - ask for details and I will guide you. In Przemyśl, by the ski slope, there is also the Fort Trails bicycle park. There you will find both family and much more demanding paths.
