Leszczynowy Stok

The mountain habitat we create is located in the buffer zone of the Bieszczady National Park, in the heart of the San Valley Landscape Park. On a mountain slope with exposure to the south there is a house where we live, and in a forest grove 300 m below we have built 4 wooden houses that you can rent. Lupus and Ursa (for 4-8 people): – this is the bigger of our houses, - have 2 bedrooms: one with 2 double beds, one with 1 double and 2 single beds, – on the ground floor they have a living room with a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. – they are not for people with small children, because they have steep stairs. Bies i Czad (for 4-8 people): – are smaller than Lupus and Ursa - have 2 bedrooms: one with 2 double beds, one with 1 double and 1 single bed, – on the ground floor there is a living room with a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower. Each of our houses has a terrace with chairs and deckchairs and on sunny days you can spend time on it - or under one of the vine-covered sheds that are located in the habitat. The houses are not far from each other and it may happen that you will hear your neighbors bustling about on the terrace next to you. The cottages are open all year round and heated by a fireplace. We do not ration wood. We can also make an agreement that if you go to the mountains and want us to keep the fire burning for you, you will leave us the keys and you will be greeted with pleasant warmth upon your return. We are for those who love the Bieszczady Mountains, for mountaineers, for those who crave silence, peace and nature. For those who are not afraid of the night howl of wolves, and prefer a homely atmosphere and proximity to trails to luxury. We invite you with pets. There will be welcome treats waiting for them (and for you too), and there is a lot of space. Just take into account that we are not fenced, and we are located in the mid-forest wildlife corridor. You'll have to keep an eye on the animals. We ourselves have 2 dogs.

We do not serve meals in Leszczynowy Stok - the houses you rent have their own kitchenettes and you will be able to prepare your own meals there. In our habitat there are two sheds with a place for a bonfire, where you will probably spend many evenings. There is everything you need to make the bonfires successful: grate, fire dishes, but also blankets, mattresses, deckchairs - for long sitting by the sizzling fire. The forest that surrounds our clearing hides countless treasures: wild blueberries, blueberries, wild strawberries, raspberries, blackberries and mushrooms. The Bieszczady Mountains are one of the few places where you can find really large amounts of Rydz Królewski - the idea for the autumn menu is at your fingertips. And you may be surprised, but in the Bieszczady Mountains you can also eat... good sushi. Once a week, a sushi master comes to a seasonal bar about 0.5 km from here, who makes reliable and fresh rolls. The nearest restaurant is in the hotel 700 m away, and according to guests, they cook really tasty food at the Wilcza Jama hunting inn - you can get venison there, but those who choose the veggie option will also have their fill. You must also know that the Bieszczady Mountains are the kingdom of sheep, goat and cow cheeses. According to some, the best cheeses are sold on the route of the Large Bieszczady Beltway in Brzegi Górne and at Nikos's in the Czar PGR agritourism farm in Wańkowa. The truest cheese-making region is the commune of Komańcza. in Osławica, Wisłok Wielki, Smolnik and Dołżyca.

The owners also run a cafe there, selling homemade cakes, handicrafts and even books written by Jola. – In the Bieszczady Mountains you can still see unusual wooden and brick Orthodox churches of the Boykos and Lemkos, which survived the historical turmoil. About 30 of them have survived and most of them today serve as Roman Catholic churches. The church in Smolnik nad Sanem is worth visiting due to its characteristic Boyko tripartite structure, and, for example, the one in Michniowiec played the role of Father Reberow's church in the TV series Wataha. – Zalew Soliński is located approximately 40 minutes by car from here. Our guests usually go to see it once and that is enough, because it is a tourist attraction. You can sail there on boats, kayaks, sailboats or take a gondola ride. However, there are many picturesque hiking and cycling trails around Solina that are worth giving a chance. – Another tourist attraction, but one that gives a lot of fun, especially for children, is a ride on the Bieszczady Narrow Gauge Railway.

Also in Sanok you will visit the Zdzisław Beksiński Museum. This is the city where the artist came from, and it is there that you can see over 600 of his works (including the painting he completed on the day of his death!). – There are many artistic and tourist events in the Bieszczady Mountains in the summer.
