You probably didn't even expect that just an hour from Warsaw you can completely forget about the pace of the city. There are no deadlines for resting here, no one is urging the Bug to flow faster, no one is standing in line to Bar pod Rybką. You can lie by the pool all day, you can go on a few-hour rafting on the Bug, you can air your head on a bicycle trip, and in the evening light up a barbecue, warm up in the sauna or soak your feet in the pool. At night, illuminated, it looks really magical. And what more do you need to take a break from everyday life?
If you feel like getting to know our micro corner of Mazovia, you can go into the field.
The Bug river flows less than 3 kilometers from Nalesie. In addition to the fact that the Bug is just pleasant to walk, wet your feet and be, the Bug is considered one of the best rivers to start your adventure with canoeing. This is one of the easiest kayaking routes, because the river is wide and the current is gentle. There are many rafting operators in the area. The closest access to the Bug is in Udrzyn, and the closest descent to the water with a "beach" is in Tuchlin (Tuchełka - mouth to the Bug River).
About 10 kilometers from the cottage there is a stable in Brańszczyk (Konikowo), where everyone will be able to try their hand at the saddle. Horses are prepared to work with both children and adults at a basic level.
When you feel like being active at high altitude, a short 10-kilometre trip is enough to have a fantastic time at the rope park in Brok. Both the youngest and those a little older will find something for themselves: the park has three levels of difficulty of routes that have been designed so that everyone, regardless of their physical fitness, can overcome all obstacles while enjoying an extraordinary adventure.
In terms of walking, of course, we recommend the White Forest, which is the closest neighborhood of the house. It is a fantastic place for both hiking and cycling trips. The White Forest is part of the Nadbużański Landscape Park, and a large part of it is protected under the Natura 2000 program. There are as many as four nature reserves here: Stawinoga, Popławy, Bartnia and Wielgolas. Bicycles (three) are at your disposal on site.
Ornithology enthusiasts are advised to bring binoculars and cameras. In northern Mazovia, about 20 km from the Nalesie cottage, between the Narew valley and the White Forest, there is a vast meadow and swamp complex. Once swamps, today a combination of meadows with pastures, arable fields, post-peat pits, brambles and pine forests, it is a place of residence for wild birds and a stop in their migration. Here you can observe geese, golden plovers, hairy buzzards, cranes, nightingales and many, many more. In the area of Pulwy there is an area of special protection of birds "Bagno Pulwy".
For fishing enthusiasts, 16 kilometers from Nalesie, we have hunting ponds - an ideal place to spend free time even for those who do not have a fishing license. In the 80-hectare complex of fish ponds, there are 4 large water reservoirs with various species of fish, in which mainly carp, grass carp and crucian carp predominate, but there will also be pike, zander, catfish and perch. There is a fee to enter the fishing grounds. You can cook the caught fish later on the grill in the garden gazebo.
