Pod Stromcem

The name of our house immediately reveals where to look for us. At the foot of Stromiec rising 551 meters above sea level, located in the Mały Grzbiet Kaczawskie Mountains, between Wapienna and Szybowcowa Góra. Our house has 50 m², large glazing providing soothing mountain views and a terrace where you can sit on sun loungers and watch paragliders fly by. Its interior layout: – a bright living room with a double sofa bed, a table and a kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower and a lockable bedroom with two single beds, – a closed bedroom with a double bed on the first floor. Artur and I took care of the atmosphere of the interiors and their coziness. It is simple, colorful and with a few real home accents - one of the chairs comes from the flea market held during September Jelenia Góra, and in the bedroom downstairs there is a painting of Śnieżka and an elf riding a fox, by a good friend - you must know that the elf guards the keys to the house and when you arrive you will have to find them :) The plot is surrounded by a wooden fence, under which deer like to come to nibble our trees. We have a birdhouse and two decorative wooden houses in red, which are an accent referring to our French travels. We are dog-loving and welcome with dogs. Our house is located off the beaten track of the village, ensuring peace and quiet. We are located on the border of the Bóbr Valley Landscape Park and the beautiful forests of the Śnieżka Forest District.

It is idyllic and angelic with us when it comes to the atmosphere. It is built especially by breath-taking sunsets and magical landscapes that change their climate depending on the aura outside the window. We will be honest with you, despite such natural circumstances, you have to try hard here to get bored. Because the area tempts and calls to discover all its nooks and crannies. We have here: forests, mountains, the Bóbr Valley, the Kaczawskie Mountains, the Land of Extinct Volcanoes, the Karkonosze Mountains, Rudawy Janowickie, the Jizera Mountains and the Valley of Palaces and Gardens. MOUNTAINS You can go on a 2.5-hour trip to Stromiec and connect the black trail with the blue loop, covering about 8 km. It will take you about an hour to climb the hill overlooking Płoszczyna. Glider Mountain. You can combine the trip to it and to Stromiec, conquering two peaks of Korona Kaczawska in one go. Szybowcowa offers a frontal view of the buildings of Jelenia Góra (it is worth seeing both day and night), the Karkonosze Mountains, the Wałbrzyskie Mountains, the Rudawy Janowickie Mountains, the Izerskie Mountains and finally the Kaczawskie Mountains and Foothills. At the top there is a glider with 6 lanes. It can be reached not only on foot, but also by bicycle. BICYCLES The surroundings of the house are quiet and peaceful routes located away from the main tourist traffic. They are designed for both MTB and road bikes. There are great singletracks on the slope of Mount Okole, and due to the fact that there is little car traffic, the routes are great for a road bike. We love routes along the Bóbr Valley towards the Pilchowicka Dam and Wleń, as well as around the Land of Extinct Volcanoes: Płoszczyna - Czernica - Janówek - Chrośnica - Proboszczów - Bystrzyca. These are beautiful routes with good asphalt and very little car traffic. PARAGLIDERS You can admire from the terrace, but you can also try your hand at this sport. The best training place is Góra Szybowcowa, which lies next to the majestic Stromiec. SKITOURS Artur and I like unobvious places the most. Our favorite route is the hike to Góra Szybowcowa, downhill from both sides, i.e. the northern and southern slopes. When there is snow only in the Karkonosze Mountains, we like going to Równe pod Śnieżką, to the highest located brewery in the Czech Republic - Lucni Boudy. From there, we go down the slopes of Śnieżka from Kopa down to Karpacz. Other nearby attractions: – a railway bridge over Lake Pilchowice and the Pilchowice Dam (the second highest dam in Poland), – Riding center Stajnia Kasztelan, – Eco-Museum of Weaving and Natural Dyeing in Chrośnica, where you can see old handicraft tools related to weaving and, if you have enough time (and you just get it), take part in workshops, learning the secrets of natural dyeing of fabrics, – Bóbr Valley Landscape Park, – The Ducal Tower in Siedlęcin from the 14th century, – a hostel built on the site of the pre-war Turmsteinbaud inn – Pearl of the West, on the shores of Modre Lake, – healthy food market in Jelenia Góra, – Borowy Jar in Jelenia Góra, – Land of Extinct Volcanoes (agate and uranium mines) – rafting or kayaking on the Bóbr river (from Nielestno), – Wleń Castle, Grodziec Castle and Lenno Palace, – a regional brewery in Lwówek Śląski – Rudawy Janowickie and colorful lakes.
