Although Kazimierz is a town of immeasurable charm, several Polish tourists have already heard about it. You can meet them here in season. However, I have a way around it. Our house is located less than 1 km from the market square, but I can assure you that you will find peace here. A large garden with a forest area located just above the ravine will allow you to find peace and contact with nature. And when you recharge your batteries, go exploring the area and forest and field trips ... or not at all. You can also stay on site and enjoy the green area around. Read books on a hammock, do yoga on the terrace, have a bonfire in the evening.
For hedonists, I can recommend massages (relaxation, feet, face, with hot stones, also in pairs), which will take place on site. Please let me know at least a day in advance that you are interested.
The recipe for a leisurely holiday in Kazimierz may look like this:
– you can go for walks along the ravines – two of them, Korzeniowy and Czarny, are located within a few minutes on foot from KaZielnik
– visit monuments, e.g. Franciscan Monastery, Parish Church of St. John the Baptist and St. Bartholomew,
– learn about the history of Kazimierz granaries, which served as grain warehouses during the city's heyday - you can admire them from the top of the Three Crosses or the promenade along the Vistula River,
– break away to Miećmierz, a village called a living open-air museum, and from the Albrechtówka hill (next to the windmill) admire the ruins of the castle in Janowiec, the village, the Cow Island Reserve; from the vantage point it is worth taking a walk to the ruins of Stanisław Szukalski's villa,
– visit the castle in Janowiec,
– get on a bike and follow the red trail on the Kazimierz Dolny – Wąwolnica – Nałęczów – Wojciechów – Dąbrowica – Lublin route or only its fragment,
– pedal 16 km to the settlement in Żmijowiska,
– go kayaking on the Chodelka River, e.g. Szczekarków Kolonia mill – Kazimierz Dolny, approx. 13 km,
– sunbathe on the nudist beach (the beach is periodically flooded by the Vistula River).
In Kazimierz during the summer season, culturally interesting things happen:
– the end of June is the National Festival of Folk Bands and Singers,
– mid-July – Kazimiernikejszyn, an event without a cufflink: not only musical, but also simply social,
– beginning of August – “Dwa Brzegi” Film and Art Festival,
– then “Wings over Kazimierz”,
– beginning of September – Pardes Festival – Meetings with Jewish Culture Kazimierz Dolny/Janowiec
– in the summer months – Organ Festival, fair of local products and many other events.
And if you prefer to avoid crowds, come to Kazimierz after the season. It is intimate, charming and just as beautiful. Can you imagine those autumn walks among golden hills and ravines? Or winter evenings with a cup of tea on the mezzanine of our house?
