People come to our settlement to immerse themselves in nature. Stare at goats and chickens, make cat wraps, stroke our dog and spend time in the company of two horses and a pony. Allow children to be carefree, explore freely and contact animals, and watch the spring-summer greenery, autumn grays and fogs or winter white from the terrace or sofa in front of the panoramic window. You can swing in a hammock, eat fruit straight from the trees, taste milk from goats (in season), go on a trip to get wood and light a fire, run barefoot on the grass and slow down.
We are located among the hills and forests of the Rudawy Landscape Park, in the picturesque town of Bukowiec. In the 19th century, it was a summer resort and an important cultural center of the then Prussia, which was taken care of by Fryderyk Karolina née von Riedesel, a patron of the arts. Mementoes of those times are: the palace and park complex, where you can see, among others a palace in a classicist style from the 16th century, the ruins of an abbey, a teahouse - a pavilion (called the temple of Athena) from 1804, built for Countess Frederica and being her library, and a circle of druids. In our village there is also a building of a former brewery and a gardener's house from 1797 (it is in private hands, so you can only look at it from a distance). You can come to the Cafe in the Artistic Stodola for a cake, weekend workshops and from there go for a walk with a guide in the season. There is an observation tower in the park (the artificial ruins of Kesselburg), from which there is a view of the Giant Mountains and Rudawy Janowickie.
The Main Sudety Trail runs next to our settlement. The entire route is 443 kilometers long and the estimated time to complete it is 120 hours. You can start one of its stages from us.
With guides from the Sudetenland you can go on one of the evening walks with kerosene lamps. They are intended for adults and children. You can find the calendar on their website.
From Bukowiec, you can go on a 10-kilometer trip to Kowary (where there is a reservoir and the unusual building of the Wysoka Łąka hospital, which was built in the years 1900-1902, and its shape refers to the sanatorium in Swiss Davos) and back. During it you will pass through the Klöber rock gate. Other noteworthy trips are the route to the Sokole Mountains (Rudawy Janowickie massif) and visits to the Szwajcarka shelter. It is a historic wooden building in the Tyrolean style from 1823, built as a hunter's cottage on the model of a building from the Bernese Highlands in Switzerland, commissioned by Wilhelm von Hohenzollern. After a stop at the shelter, you can move on to Krzyżna Góra or Sokolik (the second highest peak of the Rudawy Mountains, if you want to climb the highest one, it is the south-western peak of Skalnik - Ostra Mała).
In the village of Janowice, hidden in a dense forest, stands on a rocky, granite ledge, about 561 m above sea level, the Bolczów Castle.
Which way to the slopes? We have 10 km to Karpacz, 16 km to the Czech Mała Upa, where you can admire the well-preserved folk architecture and take a ride in a horn sleigh.
We recommend the picturesque Przesieka and the Podgórna Waterfall to lovers of winter swimming.
You can visit Huta Julia in Piechowice for sightseeing and creative workshops (e.g. in painting or engraving on glass) - for children and adults. In the same town there is a water dam - the second largest in Poland, after Solina.
Sudecka Zagroda Edukacyjna in Dobków, supporting sustainable tourism and local production, organizes numerous interesting events (especially for children). Her initiative is Kaczawski Travel Festival "We wake up extinct volcanoes".
Colorful lakes will appeal to both small and large. After watching them, you can still get the Great Kopa. In four mine workings, left over from German pyrite mines, the water has unusual colors: yellow, purple, blue and green.
The Sudeten Festival of Minerals takes place in Lubań.
