Full of history and cultural events, architecturally picturesque, bohemian, fabulously situated. Quiet. This is our Kazimierz Dolny. In this unique town, which in summer experiences festival harvests, and rests dormant in winter, you can decide on the style of relaxation yourself.
If you prefer to avoid the crowds, come visit us after the season. Back then, Kazimierz is the most intimate town in the world. However, it is known that summer has its advantages, so the recipe for unhurried holidays in Kazimierz may look like this:
- hide in the garden and forget about the world,
- go for walks in the ravines,
- sunbathe on a nudist beach (the beach is periodically flooded by the Vistula River),
- get on a bike and follow the red trail on the route Kazimierz Dolny - Wąwolnica - Nałęczów - Wojciechów - Dąbrowica - Lublin or only a part of it,
- pedal 16 km to the settlement in Żmijowiska,
- get out to Miećmięrz, a village known as a living open-air museum and admire the ruins of the castle in Janowiec, the village, and the Cow Island Reserve from the Albrechtówek hill (right next to the windmill). Additionally, from the vantage point, it is worth taking a walk to the ruins of Stanisław Szukalski's villa.
- visit the castle in Janowiec,
- go canoeing on the Chodelka river, e.g. Szczekarków Kolonia mill - Kazimierz Dolny, approx. 13 km,
- walk along the promenade on the Vistula embankment, which you lead through the gate straight from the garden.
In summer, life is mostly in the garden. In an enchanted space full of flowers, climbing ivy and fruit bushes. Coffee on the porch, yoga on the grass, rely on a hammock after breakfast. There are no sounds of an excited market here, you can go barefoot, prepare pizza or bread in a wood-fired oven, sip lemonade in the gazebo, play your favorite board game on a blanket or lie on the grass and dream about blue almonds.
It seems important to mention here the mosquitoes that bother, more or less depending on the weather, both the inhabitants and tourists visiting Kazimierz in summer. Hence, the manor house is equipped with a mosquito repellent and a garden candle.
If you come to Kazimierz to get to know the atmosphere of summer art festivals, it is worth planning your vacation much earlier and choosing a specific date.
The end of June is the National Festival of Folk Bands and Singers,
Mid-July - Kazimiernikejszyn,
Beginning of August - Film and Art Festival "Dwa Brzegi",
Then "Wings over Kazimierz",
Beginning of September - Pardes Festival - Meetings with Jewish Culture Kazimierz Dolny / Janowiec
In addition, in the summer months - Organ Festival, local product fairs and many other events.
In winter, however, you can hide in the Manor by the fireplace with a book (we have a lot of them in the library), serve cocoa straight to bed and pretend that you are the only inhabitants of the royal town. And during winter walks around Kazimierz, it is worth visiting "Kuncewiczówka" - the Vistula Museum in Kazimierz Dolny, a must-see on the route of every walk in Kazimierz.
