Here in Januszno, just over an hour and a half from Warsaw, we have a place for connoisseurs of tranquility, which can be experienced in beautiful natural surroundings. We were so charmed by it that we decided to share this goodness with everyone who wanted to stop for a moment.
We have a whole box of pleasures here for you:
– relaxing sleep in a natural house with a unique microclimate,
– going out every morning, even in slippers, to the vegetable garden for raspberries for oatmeal, tomatoes for scrambled eggs or radishes for cottage cheese,
– a sensually pampering garden, full of beautiful antiques, places to walk and sit,
– coffee drunk on a swing from an old door,
– a space where you can try golfing – we have two carts with clubs for you and a lot of space to play golf,
– snacking on wild strawberries and blackberries during the breaks of hammock naps,
– admiration for the colors of the flower meadow,
– bird concerts,
– picking mushrooms on our plot and in the forest right next to it,
– bicycle trips on paths where you will not meet anyone (we have bicycles on site).
We do not have typical trails in the area, but it is enough to leave the yard and move in any direction to commune with the beauty of nature.
We have bicycle paths where you will not meet anyone. The area is full of wild MTB trails and unofficial road trails where cars are rarely driven. We recommend the black bicycle trail running in the area, which will lead you from Pionki to the Brzeźniczka nature reserve, and from there to the Źródła Królewskie nature reserve. It is 7.5 km long.
Speaking of reserves, know that we are in the buffer zone of the Kozienicki Landscape Park, in which there are a total of 15 nature reserves. The park was created to preserve the natural landscape of the Kozienicki Forest. Over 200 species of birds live there (including the lesser spotted eagle, the kingfisher and a very rare specimen - the bittern). The park is also home to moose, deer, wild boars, beavers and a large population of dormice. The natural curiosities include several species of bats and mud turtles. The pine trees growing in the park are even 200-300 years old. The closest reserves to us are: Pionki, Brzeźniczka and Załamanek. The most popular is the Royal Springs Reserve.
Well, now about the king, and more precisely about Władysław Jagielle, who 23 times passed the Royal Road - the route leading from Krakow to Vilnius. He would stop in Jedlnia or Kozienice and go to the forest to hunt. Today, you can walk along the forest and nature path leading to the Royal Springs, i.e. the place where the king drank water. The route leads through the backwaters of the Zagożdżonka River and is approx. 3 km long (the time needed to cover it is 1.5-2 hours). By the way, you can visit the palace in Kozienice, which is the seat of the Regional Museum.
There is a Staw Górny swimming pool in Pionki, reopened in 2021 after renovation. You will find plenty of water attractions there: wake park, kayak and water bike rental, as well as sailboats, splash park, pleasant green areas, a restaurant with a view of the water and a graduation tower. There are also plenty of benches and wooden loungers.
