Over the Rościszowska valley, we implemented our forest project. It was created from two needs: space and contact with nature. These were born in us when, after a forced return from India caused by a pandemic, we got stuck in a renovated apartment for a month. We felt how much we needed a place to escape and disconnect for a while.
We found them in the Owl Mountains, just over an hour from Wrocław. You can hide here, breathe, catch your balance and enjoy your company. You can move from here to the mountains (just go in any direction) or not move at all, enjoying the area filled with nature and listening to a nature playlist. Her biggest hits are: the chirping of crickets, the buzzing of bees, the hooting of owls and the grunting of wild boars. You don't need any other music, just like a TV set, because the performances are played by nature around the clock.
The first is the view here, which is best enjoyed from the terrace. The plot is surrounded by deciduous trees that explode with juicy green in the spring, caress the eyes with its intense shade in the summer, and delight with a whole palette of colors in autumn. The view of the forest and the mountain will be the first thing you see when you wake up in the master bedroom.
Forest walks are within walking distance. You can go to Lasocin, go through ravines or wander aimlessly, exploring untrodden paths and enjoying the complete lack of people.
The forests surrounding us are full of mushrooms that can be picked all year round. Avid mushroom pickers will be delighted by the variety of specimens found here (note! not all of them are edible), you can come across: oyster mushrooms, pine seat (called goat's beard), glossy blackgrass, Australian plague, stink stinkhorn and club rot. Our record: twenty different edible species of mushrooms collected during one trip.
We believe that a bonfire is good at any time of the year, especially in winter, when you watch the stars in its company. Sometimes you can also count on the company of a fox. And if not a fireplace, then a fireplace waiting inside.
Directly from the plot you can go to Wielka Sowa, the highest peak of the Owl Mountains. You'll get there in less than two hours. The beginning is not a trail, but forest paths. However, you can drive up to the village bordering on us and start the trail from there.
At Lake Bielawskie you will find a sandy beach, a swimming pool and a water equipment rental. And at Lake Bystrzyckie you can walk on a footbridge, visit the aquarium and drop into the Grodno castle. An interesting fact: at the bottom of Lake Bystrzyckie there is a sunken mining settlement of Schlesiertal (Silesian Valley).
In Osówka, 15 km away, you can visit the underground city. It is an underground network of tunnels and rooms dug by prisoners, commissioned by the Nazis, the purpose of which remains a mystery to this day. You try to dispel it while walking one of the routes - extreme, which is located sixteen floors underground and has a length of 1500 m.
Downhill and cross-country trails are within a dozen or so kilometers. For cross-country skiing, we recommend the area of Wielka Sowa, Przełęcz Jugowska and Walimska, and Bielawska Polanka. You can go skiing to Rzeczka and Sokolec or to Jugów and to the slope of Wielka Sowa.
For bike lovers, there are MTB trails in the area, and for horse lovers - a stud farm in the village.
We could go on for a long time, but we know from experience that sometimes less is enough for well-being.
