Hi, we are contemporary popowianists, i.e. lovers of the popowo land. We write contemporaries, because already in the 1920s the club of popovarians was numerous and active. In 1929, Teodor Bursze designed the plan of the new Popowo Letnisko, a garden city, which was to serve Warsaw residents as a springboard from the capital rush. It is thanks to the architect's innovative idea that the layout of the small village on the edge of the Biała Forest is so unique. The central point of Popowo is a circular square, from which eight roads run radially, along which plots are located. In the 1930s, they were purchased by merchants from the most distant parts of Poland looking for clean air, rest in the bosom of nature, peace, quiet and access to rivers. At that time, the first, very few villas, a casino, sports grounds, a swimming pool on the Narew River and a power plant were also built. Well, a real spa and summer resort. Unfortunately, the development of the village was hampered by the outbreak of World War II, many buildings were destroyed, and after the war, the garden-city project was not resumed.

However, we still play green and praise Popowo Letnisko to friends and strangers. Our house reflecting nature is located at the fork of the Bug and Narew rivers, among pine and birch forests. You live here, as the name suggests, in a summer resort. You can come here alone or in pairs. Take a yoga mat, bicycle or collection of books. Be sure to take your pets and go. For forest aromatherapy, SUP swimming, evenings by the fireplace and barefoot walks on the litter.

Well, where, in the forest. With a view of the forest, with the smell of the forest, with cones under your feet and neighbors with squirrels. Here, in the Popowo forest, on the edge of the White Forest, among the pines, there is a wooden house created for soothing trips for two or for a one-person escapade away from urban everyday life and everyday mediocrity.

The house consists of a ground floor and a mezzanine. Downstairs there is a living room with a sofa connected to the kitchen, a fireplace and a bathroom with a shower. On the mezzanine there is a bedroom with a double bed and a window overlooking the trees.

We encourage you to relax in the open air - with us you will be able to read books on the terrace, grill or walk in the woods. In winter, you can make snowmen, go cross-country skiing or go for a long walk with your dog. You will also have at your disposal an outdoor sauna (PLN 200 for 2 days), which can be reached by a wooden platform.

We provide wood for burning in the fireplace - you just have to remember to add to the fire once in a while.

The area around the house is surrounded by a fence, so your dogs can run freely. So take your pets with you (we can provide bedding). They will be happy in the forest.

After each stay, we professionally disinfect the house (for our own and subsequent guests' safety and comfort). We have professional Qlive equipment and we use natural products whose active substances are patented aXonnite Rescue Q-silver silver nanoparticles.

Take some provisions with you, because here in the forest, when you feel like having a cake, a baguette with butter, oatmeal or pudding, you won't be able to run to the store in slippers. The nearest one is 3.5 km away, so you can walk, drive or bike. However, each option requires prior planning. Once you have stocked up on supplies, make yourself comfortable in our kitchen. It's small, but it has everything you need - a two-burner hob, a small fridge, a coffee maker, a Nespresso coffee machine, a coffee grinder, a toaster, a citrus juicer and, in the summer, a grill on the terrace.

We can satisfy your thirst for nature with natural, healthy products from local suppliers. We also have access to ready-made home-cooked meals. You can place an order for honey, jams, fruit juices, cheese, eggs or beet leaven - all produced using traditional methods. You can also order ready-made meals prepared by a friendly hostess, which will be waiting for you in the fridge on the day of arrival.

If you want to go hunting for local flavors, on Saturday and Wednesday there is an agricultural market in Serock, where you can buy vegetables, fruit, eggs, cold meats, soap and jam, as is often the case at markets.

There are also the closest restaurants in Serock. Below you will find verified addresses.

On the edge of the White Forest, in the summer resort of Popowo, life is excellent. Surrounded by pine trees, with essential oils in the air and with wind protection in the form of tall trees, we hide from the world. Here you can walk 10,000 steps without any problems, because the paths draw you in like a good book and take you to clearings, in search of heather carpets and blueberries.

If laziness is your favorite activity, you've come to the right place! You can read books without guilt, steal time for naps, listen to the birds singing and practice yoga on the terrace (bring your mats with you). If sitting still is hard work for you, you will be happy to know that there are plenty of attractions here, near Warsaw. The Biała Forest is an amazing place for running and walking, and the surrounding bicycle routes run through beautiful forests, meadows and along the banks of the Narew River. If you are a fan of road cycling, there are also many great, empty and smooth asphalt roads in the area, on which we regularly ride and we will be happy to share the routes from our GPS with you.
There is also a stud farm nearby, and kayaking trips are organized on the nearby rivers. In the summer you can swim on SUPs, we will show you the most picturesque and wild sections of the Narew and Bug rivers, without a guide, in the wild, with a backpack and sandwiches - such a trip is a great idea for a hot afternoon!

We try to avoid Zegrze, because we know that this is where the entire capital flows, but wild parts of the rivers, the Old Bug, Lake Przerzaniec, i.e. the old Wieprz river bed, are places that will not disappoint you.
Interestingly, the Warsaw "water tram" runs to Serock (5-6 km from us), so if you insist, you can ride your bike to us across the river from the capital!

Of course, it's also worth seeing:
– Stawinoga Nature Reserve, where birds live that you have never even heard of, e.g. curlews, corncrakes, common moorhens, green moorhens, spotted warblers, water warblers, reed warblers, sea buckthorns, common warblers, bluethroats, red-billed sandpipers, sandpipers, snipes, black-tailed godwits.
– Szaniawskiego Gorge Reserve – you can get here by bike, because the gorge is located on the yellow bicycle trail – Serocki trail. Near the gorge there is a forgotten park with the remains of the Szaniawski manor house. The famous writer's house stood on the banks of the Narew River, and later Lake Zegrze, and unfortunately it burned down seven years after the writer's death.
– Bug and Narew from a cycling perspective – choose the blue eastern Łacha-Łacha trail. The route is 17.8 km long and is extremely picturesque. It runs through forests and along rivers, and you can join it from Popowo.

We cooperate with Mazovian Wildlife, which organizes trips to nearby areas - the Bug Valley, the White Forest and the Lower Narew Valley - often to wild, inaccessible places that provide shelter for thousands of species of amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals. We will send you a detailed offer after booking.

It's such a small house for two or even for a solo trip. Then the kids stay at home under good care, and you have this luxurious time of silence, reading books, walking in the woods, sleeping, practicing doing nothing, drinking wine by the fireplace and watching TV series without interludes. Sounds like a young adult sanatorium, right?

Our internet works flawlessly, so if you need to work - no problem. With your laptop you will sit on the sofa, at the dining table or on the terrace. However, these are not places specially adapted to work and, in fact, the coolest thing is to just log out, listen to the forest and walk to the river.
