Quick check
Our location is best seen from above. From the drone's flight you will see that the old Prussian building that we leased stands right on the shore of the lake. This and the fact that it is one of two houses in Borki made us take part in the tender. We were not discouraged by the need for an in-depth renovation, the intense colors of the walls or the prospect of a lot of work. We decided that it would be a pity if 40 ares of green area almost based on the forest and bordering the Sapina River were to go to waste. This was once the seat of the Borki Forest District. Domestic and foreign guests came to discover the wildness of the Borecka Forest. At its threshold, we have created a space for singles, couples and fans of group holidays. Before breakfast - in 43 steps - you can go to the lake or on the mat - exercise on the grass, in the living room or on the pier. And after the morning feast, jump on a bike, in a boat or go for a walk in the meadows. The forest is best explored barefoot and in the company of Andrzej Sulej - our neighbor-naturalist who knows all its secrets. Two of our hosts - Ola and Marysia - will share the secrets of pickling and pickling. This duo will not only feed you, but also tell you what's going on in the nearby grass.
Come by to see the moonlight reflecting in the lake, try pickled sorrel, feast in the garden under the open sky and read a book in a hammock. Diego, Rykowisko's dog guardian, is looking forward to seeing you.

Rykowisko is an idea that was born in the mind of two best buddies: Piotrek and Dawid.
We both come from small towns (Piotrek from nearby Kruklanki, and Dawid from Zakrzówek near Lublin), but we live in Gdańsk, where we had a brilliant idea over a beer: "We should open a bar". These words are probably said at some point in every guy's life, and we have also put them into practice. Our adventure with agritourism began in exactly the same way. In June 2019, we learned that you can take part in the tender for the lease of a house from the early 20th century located by the lake. The very next day we were going to Piotrek's hometown to "just have a look". After all, it's a pity that such an opportunity was wasted. Our wives didn't object, so a few days later we were able to start renovations on a very dilapidated property. Anita and Klaudia only admitted after a long time that they knocked on the head, seeing how much work awaits us. And we just have a hard time getting another adventure out of our heads. And so, with a fairly serious renovation, the four of us were evenly working. You must see that apart from us (sometimes we are there, sometimes we are not), the house has two housekeepers who will take care of you the best in the world. Ola (Piotrek's mother) and her sister Marysia are the two best aunts who will always let you try something good, they have herbal schnapps "for kuraż" in the cupboard, they know all the local legends, medicinal herbs, mushroom spots, and the weather forecast is always accurate. These are our queens of ruts!
