Antoniów is the quintessence of Jewishness. Unique half-timbered houses, steep driveways, mountain panoramas, narrow paths, goats, sheep, trails just around the corner. However, don't be crazy about the range of possibilities - the Jizera Mountains will remain as they are. So take it easy and don't fill your travel plan to the brim. Make room for spontaneity, for oversleeping, for a long coffee on the terrace and a walk to Kwieci - Guest House for a delicious dinner. Dinner must be ordered the day before, so a phone call to Łukasz and Piotrek is necessary.
After a moment's pause and turning on vacation mode, you can start exploring the area. We recommend:
- go to the nearest forest to pick mushrooms. It's hard to look at your feet with such views, but something will always fall into the basket.
- Admire the stars from the backyard - a telescope is waiting for you at the Dacha.
- Invite the Mobile Ceramic Point to your dacha and create your own clay item.
- Rent a bike - we cooperate with a bicycle rental company (ordinary and electric) - you can order a bike with delivery to the Dacha.
- Enter the trail in Antoniowo and go to Stóg Izerski, Świeradów and Szklarska Poręba. Instead of walking, you can choose a bike, the route to Szklarska will only take an hour.
- Cool off in the stream you come across on the trail, which starts 200 m from the plot.
- Take a trip to Huta Julia in Piechowice and see how crystal glass is made by hand.
- Take part in the great celebration that takes place every year on the last weekend of May. The open day of half-timbered houses is an opportunity to look inside, see what it is like to live and work in them, and how they have been restored. It is also a unique opportunity to meet extraordinary people. In Antoniowo itself, there are several houses that open their doors to visitors at this time.
- Take your bikes with you and follow the “Ruins of Hochstein Hütte” route. You will find the trail in the heart of the Jizera forest, on the Gaik Pass, between Kopaniec and Rozdroże Jizera. Before setting out on the route, it is worth reading a bit about the history of this place.
- Take the yellow trail to Wysoki Kamień. The walk to the top is not demanding, and the views from the top of the Karkonosze Mountains and Szklarska Poręba are unique. There is also a shelter at the top where you can eat.
- Go to our Czech neighbors, to the charming settlement of Jizerka. It is situated on a vast meadow, on the right bank of the Jizera River, just across the border with Poland. The exceptionally aesthetic black and white facades of the local cottages contrast beautifully with the summer green and winter white. There are pubs serving Czech delicacies in the cottages, there is a museum of the Jizera Mountains and a beautifully winding river. While here, it is worth climbing the former volcano - Bukovec, towering over the meadow.
- Go to the Mountain Hut for views and blueberry pancakes.
- Try your hand at cross-country skiing at Polana Jakuszycka.
- Sign up for a mosaic-making workshop at the "Izery Gallery, mosaic workshops, regional design" in Kopaniec.
- Go to the Orle Shelter in the evening for a magical star show in the Jizera Dark Sky Park.
And that's not the end! There are waterfalls, mines, antique shops, the beautiful Czech side of the Jizera Mountains, the Land of Extinct Volcanoes quite nearby, Bolesławiec, where you can make the famous blue pottery with your own hands, the artistic Wolimierz, and the rock festival Izerbaijan. And many others.
