Let the reviews of our four-legged guests be the best recommendation for a rest in Modry Domek. Bójka spent a month here with her husband and nowhere did she find so many mushrooms, nowhere was it so comfortable to lie on the sofa and warm by the fireplace. Franceska, the cat, praised the armchair in the bedroom and the large windows overlooking the squirrels on the porch. Lilou, the bulldog, loved evenings by the lake, but she was not as brave as her dog sister Rita, who swam on a SUP. Of course, in a hood. You already know that all animals are welcome and hosted with honors. They have their den, bowls, cooling mats, towels to wipe off after bathing, blankets, and a tight fence. And since demanding pedigree cats like it here so much, people will be happy too.
Because it is enough to go beyond the gate to the lake, and walks around the area are accompanied by herons and cranes. By bike, you can do the route Around Kółko Raduńskie I, and kayak across as many as 8 of the nearest lakes. There is a house in the color of forget-me-nots, a garden blooming with scents and there are squirrels that feed on our hazel. Watch out for hollow shell bullets.
We invite you to Sznurki in pair, alone, in four. With or without pets. Our doors are always open for you.
In Modry Domek, in Sznurki, with a lake behind the fence. It will be most comfortable here for a couple or four people, and for animals, because we have a special place in our hearts for them.
The cottage has:
- a cozy bedroom with a double bed with a double bed measuring 140x200, a chest of drawers for clothes and a comfortable armchair for relaxation with a view of the forest, the bedroom also has blackout curtains and a roller blind,
- a living room with a corner sofa (fold-out), fireplace, table with chairs,
- a small but well-equipped kitchen,
- a bathroom with a shower,
- a glassed-in veranda,
- two terraces - covered and uncovered.
- a kayak at the guests' disposal, at no extra charge. Back to the four-legged ones. In the bedroom there is a medium-sized bed for sleeping.
In the house you will also find water bowls in various sizes, cooling mats for hot days, biodegradable bags for dog surprises, dog towels, blankets, and a bed (sizes<span style="background-color: var(--white);"> M and L). The plot is carefully fenced (and tested), so animals can move freely around it. You can use the forested descent to the lake directly from the plot to walk your four-legged friends or use the pier.</span>
Firstly, there is a lake behind the fence, secondly, there are many lakes around, thirdly, there are unusual walking and cycling paths, fourthly, there are lazy terraces (two) and books in the library, fifthly, there is a fireplace.
The garden is different every season. In spring it blooms with fruit trees and periwinkle, in summer with all possible flowers, in autumn with heathers and hydrangeas. Winter is not bad either, because when the leaves fall from the trees, the lake emerges in all its glory. In our garden there is a grill for you, a rocking double seat in the boho style, there are garden furniture on both terraces, pillows, blankets and deckchairs. The glazed veranda is wonderful to sit on rainy days or in the evenings when you need to hide from mosquitoes.
The plot has its own descent to the lake Raduńskie Dolne. Just open the gate and move (through the forest, about 100 m) to the shore. The descent is quite steep, take that into account. We have a bench there, we are planning to build a bridge. The descent to the lake from the shore is gentle and shallow for a long time. The water is clean, and the proof is the crayfish living in it.
Here, by the lake, you can also start your walking route. It will probably be difficult to go around the lake (it is 9.67 km long and 1.37 km wide), but you can go along the shore, e.g. towards the village of Lampa. And in Lampa we have a friendly host who has his strawberries and fresh eggs in the summer.
For guarded bathing areas, go to Chmielno or Garcz, which is not so well known to tourists.
Another walking route (our favorite) is the one through Kalka. It is a loop (gravel road and concrete slab road) leading through meadows, forests and villages with old houses. You will surely meet herons and cranes along the way. The walk will take you about 1 hour 12 minutes (5.8 km).
Another scenic route is the one to Brodnica Górna. This direction is important because the nearest shop is located in Brodnica (the second one in Chmielno). So you can go through fields, meadows and forests for ice cream or for ingredients for dinner. If you have the opportunity, take your bikes with you, because this route (5.8 km one way) immediately becomes more pleasant.
And with bicycles, we have a lot to show off here. "Around Kółka Raduńskie I" runs through our Sznurki, and it is one of the two bicycle routes leading around the lakes of Kółka Raduńskie. The route (56.5 km) runs along 8 large lakes and leads along public roads, dirt roads and field paths. It is worth dividing the road into several stages (2-3 days), stopping at interesting points along the way. You can visit Kartuzy with numerous monuments, Ostrzyce and Chmielno, Wieżyca with the highest hill in Kashubia and an observation tower at the top, and Szymbark with an open-air museum.
Kartuzy - Goręczyno (10 km) - Ostrzyce (13.5 km) - Szymbark (20.5 km) - Gołubie (25 km) - Stężyca (30.5 km) - Zgorzałe (35 km) - Przewóz (39 km) - Valves (48 km) - Chmielno (49.5 km) - Kartuzy (57.8 km).
However, Kołko Raduńskie is primarily a tourist water route along the lakes of the Kashubian Switzerland, located in the Kashubian Landscape Park. The beginning of the trail is Stężyca, the end is Lake Lubowisko, and we are in the middle of this loop. For kayaking enthusiasts, there is no better place to rest. Most often, the trip starts in Stężyca and ends in Ostrzyce (2 days - with an overnight stay), through Lake Raduńskie Dolne, then Lake Kłodno (here you can also hook up the nearby lakes Białe and Rekowo), from Lake Kłodna we sail to Lake Brodno Małe, then Brodno Wielkie, Lake Ostrzyckie and, for those interested, the farthest lake Potulskie. From Potulskie you can still break through to Lake Dąbrowskie and Lubowisko. This is, of course, an offer for trained rowers. For Sunday kayakers, there are shorter trips on the lakes themselves, without rowing on the Radunia River, which has almost mountainous stages along its length.
In winter, there is a ski lift in Wieżyca, very close to us, and a beautiful stud farm in Kolan.
Where else is worth venturing out to?
- The center of Chmielno, a beautiful tourist town, is only 2.5 km away.
- Tourists are often attracted by the newest Polish castle, built in the 1980s and 1990s, Łapalice Castle. And when you are in Łapalice, be sure to visit the FIORD Stable, where beautiful horses of the unique Fjord breed live.
- Another architectural pearl of the area is the Collegiate Church in Kartuzy with a roof in the shape of a coffin.
- Kashubia also has its Miniature Park in Strysza Buda, near the beautiful Sanctuary of the Queen of Kashubia in Sianów.
