Utkane z marzeń

'Weaved from dreams' is a house in the style of a former dacha, located in a quiet corner of the (already quiet) Sucha Rzeczka, just 15 meters from the shore of Mały Lake. The whole plot and a pier are at your disposal, shared only with the neighbor. The house consists of the ground floor, first floor and attic. On the ground floor you will find a kitchen, bathroom and a living room with a fireplace. The first floor is occupied by two bedrooms - a large and a small one, which I call a single room. The big one has two beds: a double bed 140 & nbsp; × & nbsp; 200 and a single bed 90 & nbsp; × & nbsp; 200, while the single bed has one single. In the attic there is the largest bedroom, an additional toilet and an amazing view - from the windows to the Serwy Lake, and from the terrace to the Małe Lake. There are also two beds - double 140 & nbsp; × & nbsp; 200 and single 90 & nbsp; × & nbsp; 180. I put a lot of attention to detail and even more heart into the interior. The predominant Provencal style is created by crystal chandeliers, Polish lace, antique furniture and wall art by artist Robert Kempiste. The plot itself is fenced. There is a parking space, fireplace and barbecue. You don't need to take sunbeds to sunbathe or read a book outside - the seats are in place, ready to be unfolded and lounging.

The kitchen in the house is small, but it contains the basic equipment that will allow you to make a delicious breakfast to eat on the pier. And this is accompanied by elegant English tableware, creating a sophisticated atmosphere like from a Jane Austen novel. However, the Suwałki Region is a land of great cuisine with dishes not available anywhere else, which is really worth tasting. Already a few hundred meters from the house there is the U Lecha inn, and a bit further there is a really sensational riverside hostel in Płaska, managed by Andrzej and Małgosia. They serve great dumplings, equally tasty fish and traditional dinner sets - all done really with heart and at good prices. Attention, they open for picnic and close after the holidays! In nearby Augustów you can be surprised by the number of good restaurants, while in Suwałki you have a chance to taste Tatar cuisine. Between one trip and another, find time to try ice cream from Cafe Rico in Augustów, drink beer honey in Miodosytnia and eat a piece by piece of traditional sękacz (it's great at an inconspicuous stand by the Wigry). And I could recommend it for a long time, because we have food that is out of this world.

There have already been admiration for the local cuisine, and there will be admiration for local attractions. I recommend: # 1 Walks in the Augustów Primeval Forest. It is quiet, green, strongly berry and pine. In the Forest, you can meet (or hear) wolves and lynxes, not to mention more common animals such as deer, foxes and roe deer. # 2 Trips with Michał from Gruszek. Michał organizes nature walks all year round and encourages to play together in the bosom of nature. In addition to biological education, he has a heart for what he does and will show you the Forest from a side unknown to many people. You will learn the details on his website dziczenie.pl. # 3 Explore the neighborhood by bike. The area is full of wide forest roads, on which you can drive endlessly. In addition, the infrastructure created for the needs of the Eastern Green Velo bicycle route is amazing, such as comfortable places to rest or a separate, asphalt bicycle path on more busy roads. # 4 Canoeing. The multitude of kayak ideas is truly amazing here. You can canoe on the lakes, the historic Augustów Canal, the meandering Czarna Hańcza or the wild Biebrza. You can get kayaks in many places, including, for example, from Mr. Andrzej from the riverside hostel in Płaska. # 5 Eating. As I wrote above, local cuisine is definitely worth your time and attention. And you cannot complain about the lack of places on the culinary map of Suwałki Region. # 6 Swimming in lakes. The house is located 15 m from the shores of Mały Lake, while on the other side of the road you will find the larger Serwy lake with incredibly clear water. Above the latter there are several campsites and small beaches. # 7 A trip to Wigry. It is difficult to describe this place in a few words. Because how to fit in a few sentences the prevailing peace there, the sounds of water birds, bells ringing from the Camaldolese monastery, merrily going through the forest narrow-gauge railway ...? You can cycle around the lake, take a walk or drive a car on lost paths. There are numerous viewpoints here, including a wooden tower in Krusznik. # 8 Seeing a house with a red doorstep. Miłosz's Manor House in Krasnogruda is another place in the Suwałki Region, the existence of which is hard to believe. This beautifully renovated manor house with a well-kept garden will allow you to get to know Miłosz's work, see artistic performances and listen to a concert. 'Don't make this a museum' asked Miłosz, handing over the manor to the Pogranicze foundation. They did not. There is always something going on here, and life pushes to this place through doors and windows. # 9 Mushroom picking / blueberry picking / horizontal picking. In summer and autumn it is always good to have at least one jar with you to collect treasures from the undergrowth. # 10 Bird watching. Closer and more distant surroundings attract bird lovers from all over the world. If you are interested in birds, it is worth arranging a trip with a guide and naturalist, Michał from Gruszek, or at least taking binoculars for a walk. # 11 Slackening. Locks on the Augustów Canal are an example of a still-living history. The nearest Gorczyca lock is located in Płaska, and the most picturesque one is in the Perkuć nature reserve. You can view the locks from the water or plan a bike trip around them. As for interesting facts, I will add that the wooden bridge in Perkucie had its 5 minutes on the big screen when it appeared in Black Clouds as the hiding place of Dowgird and Kacper. # 12 Looking to the East. In mid-August, in Buda Ruska on the Czarna Hańcza river, the east meets the west, creating a one-of-a-kind festival 'Looking to the East'. Literary meetings are intertwined with compulsory reading, nature walks, intimate concerts until dawn and thematic workshops. Outside of the festival period, it is still worth visiting Buda Ruska to visit the gallery of Piotr Malczewski. Piotr is a photographer whom hardly anyone believed that he would manage to live his life in such a way: in a village at the end of the Suwałki world, in an old house and with stories from forgotten lands to which he organizes trips. On site, he will treat you to homemade cake, show you photos and immerse you in stories. # 13 Listening to the Klezmer Orchestra. The Klezmer Orchestra of the Sejny Theater is a mixture of people of all ages, born on the Suwałki border. Music can be heard in the film Wołyń, but also live - for example in the White Synagogue in Sejny. # 14 Being. Giving yourself space for mindfulness, sitting on the pier and absorbing the Suwałki region with all its wonders. And there are a lot of these miracles here.
