The origins of the settlement in which you will find yourself date back to 1611. In the past, Toszowice, a small hamlet on the outskirts of Walim, was called Toschendorf. It was a populous, rich, industrialized and developing place. At the crossroads, a mill, Zuckermühle, was built, which, with the course of events, gained a new face and became the Biała Sowa tourist shelter. But this is a story that takes place among our neighbors. We are right next door, in a former evangelical school from 1905, situated by a stream. The turbulent vicissitudes of fate finally brought her into our hands and we will not let her go. We like to say that we didn't choose her, she chose us.

We will charm you here in various ways. We will serve you tea, which you will drink in a soft armchair next to a historic stove with emerald tiles. We will invite you for home-made hot breakfasts, which you will eat before setting out on the trail. We will tell the stories of the most beautiful monuments in Lower Silesia, because, as you can guess, we are close to history. Just like with culture - we have collected a list of probably all local events, from an organ music evening to a reggae festival. No one will force you to listen to the genre of music you can listen to in our club lounge. Just like how you spend your free time: you can lazy, at home and close to nature, in the shade of our 150-year-old linden trees, or you can be active: cycling or cross-country skiing. The Owl Mountains are waiting to be discovered, and we are in the place where the adventure is just beginning.

In the building of the former Evangelical school from 1905, we created a house. This is not a guesthouse, not an agritourism, but rooms for rent in a place where we live every day. We occupy half of the ground floor of this old house.

At your disposal will be 3 rooms occupying the entire floor. Each of them is slightly different, and so:
– Red Room – large (over 40 m²) for 2 people, with a clearly separated living area and the one with a double bed.
– White Studio – can accommodate up to 4 people, although 2 people will be most comfortable. It has 2 rooms - a living room with a double fold-out sofa and a bedroom with a double bed, and a bathroom.
– Studio Zielone - 4 people can comfortably live here in 2 independent rooms. It's the perfect place when we want to come with friends. The first room is a living room with a double sofa bed. The second room is a typical bedroom with a double bed.

For formalities: each of the rooms has its own bathroom with a shower cabin.

Your own room is not the only place where you can hide here with a book, hot tea, listening to your favorite music. In a large but cozy living room you can spend evenings or rainy days in your favorite company without leaving the house. In the morning, the breakfast room transforms into a cozy club lounge as the day progresses.

We also have an enchanted garden here, where you will find many places to relax. There is a terrace with garden furniture, benches here and there, a large flower meadow that slopes down to a stream. You can cross it and go directly to the forest. Hiking trails start nearby. Scenic routes for walking, skiing and cycling as well as places with an extraordinary history await you in the area.

I have enchanted this common house and as it is at home, the food is homemade. The kitchen is the kingdom of the lady of the house, Kasia. For breakfast, he will prepare for you a selection of cheeses, meats, muesli, vegetables, fruits, local honeys, jams and home-made jams. And there will always be something hot - sausages, eggs in various forms, pancakes or pancakes. In addition, coffee, various types of teas and juices will be waiting for you.

We try not to waste or throw away food. We will ask you in advance for information on what you are hungry for this time, so that we can prepare just that.

And although we offer only breakfast in the package with accommodation, we will not let our guests go hungry. If you wish, we will prepare meals in the lunch and dinner arrangement or in the form of dinner - according to your needs and time organization. We only need information the day before.

There's always a piece of homemade cake to accompany your midday coffee or afternoon tea.

In each room we have arranged a tea corner, and in it you will find an electric kettle, a set of cups and cups, plates and cutlery. A small fridge will come in handy in the summer.

We will welcome you to the Owl Mountains - the oldest part of the Sudetes, stretching between Wałbrzych and Kłodzko, along the Polish-Czech border. And this is a place where, in our opinion, you cannot get bored. Because here everyone will find something good for themselves: lovers of history and monuments, fans of music and theater (below we have prepared a list of cultural events for you), activity enthusiasts and fans of boredom. It can also be cultivated here without embarrassment. It is worth coming to us at any time of the year and enjoying the beauty of the surroundings.

ACTIVE
On foot:
Directly from the house, you can set off on foot along the trail to Wielka Sowa (1015 m above sea level). For most walkers, this is not a very demanding challenge.
From the historic observation tower from 1906 (Bismarck Tower) you can admire the panorama of the area, reaching as far as Ślęża to Wrocław.
From the house, you can also go directly along the ridge of the hill towards Lake Bystrzyckie dammed up with a water dam in Lubachów. Grodno Castle dominates the lake.

By bicycle:
If you love mountain biking, you will be in paradise. We have over 200 kilometers of trails of various difficulty levels here.

On cross-country skis:
Cross-country ski trails in the Owl Mountains are considered to be one of the most beautiful in the entire Sudetes. In addition to the views, tourists appreciate them for very good marking, preparation for the season and maintenance during the season. The terrain is so diverse that both advanced and beginner skiers will find a suitable trail for themselves.

On downhill skiing:
You can ski on the snow-covered, groomed and illuminated slopes of the Rzeczka-Sokolec complex.
A slightly more difficult route can be found at the Rymarz ski lift next to the Zygmuntówka shelter on the Jugowska pass.
Zieleniec, in turn, can be reached in less than an hour, and there - carousing soul.

HISTORY AND MONUMENTS
One could count endlessly here. We will try to limit ourselves and list a few, in our opinion, the most interesting places to visit.

Riese (Ger. giant) - is a mysterious complex, which is the largest mining and construction project in Nazi Germany. It was started and not finished. It was supposed to be one of Adolf Hitler's headquarters. The entire Riese complex consists of 7 underground structures carved in hard rock (gneiss). Three of them - Włodarz, Osówka and Rzeczka are open to the public.

Świdnica - Church of Peace - the largest baroque wooden temple in Europe. According to "National Geographic" it is one of the seven wonders of Poland. It has also been inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List. And no wonder: the temple impresses with its interior and history. The building, based on a wooden frame filled with clay and straw, can accommodate 7,500 people. It's better not to skip this point from the list, you won't regret it.

Książ Castle - and this is one of the largest castles in Poland, the dazzling heritage of the Hochberg family. The monumental and beautifully situated architectural complex is unique in Europe. In the former meeting place of the crowned heads, the history of the aristocratic von Hochberg family is intertwined with the mysteries of the Second World War.

Szczawno Zdrój - the mineral water pump room is located in a beautiful building in the classicist style from 1896 with a richly decorated walking hall. The springs of Mieszko, Dąbrówka, Marta and Młynarz flow here, whose water improves the work of many organs, such as the stomach and liver. They also serve the best meringue cakes around!

Zagórze Śląskie - Grodno Castle is over 700 years of history. The beginnings of the medieval stronghold in this place date back to the times of the Silesian Piasts. The view from the castle tower is one of the most beautiful in the area.

Ludwikowice - "Muchołapka" attracts fans of historical puzzles and tourists with its unusual shape and mystery. It is the subject of many publications and conjectures. She starred in several films.
The "Toadstool" was a concrete silo (?) with a diameter of 30 meters and a height of 10 meters. The structure consists of a ring based on 12 pillars. The facility is fenced and is part of the Molke Museum functioning here.

Srebrna Góra - a fortress from the 18th century consisting of six forts, which gives it the title of the largest mountain fortress in Europe. There are as many as 151 rooms in which over 3.7 thousand people were stationed. soldiers, there was also room for 264 cannons and provisions for 3 to 5 months of siege.

You also have beautiful cities, towns and villages to explore with stunning local architecture.

Unfortunately, the layout of the building with steep stairs and the surrounding area with a high slope and direct access to the stream make Zaczarowalim not the most friendly place for families with small children. Out of concern for the safety of children, we invite families with teenagers over 12 years of age.

I enchanted this place of relaxation and rest, but sometimes professional duties can also catch us on vacation. We try to provide such unfortunates with optimal working conditions. Unfortunately, cell phone coverage is poor. Plus is doing the best, T-Mobile is the worst.
We do have high-speed fiber optic internet. There are WiFi access points in each room and in the garden, and guests have full access to them. Moving around the house and garden, we do not lose coverage.
