When a large part of south-eastern Poland moves to Lake Białe, we stop halfway from Lublin and hide in the silence of the Poleski National Park. We have dozens of lakes here, and the nearest two are within a kilometer range.
On site for relaxation and recreation, we have prepared for you:
- sauna (for 10 people) and jacuzzi in the garden
- 8 bicycles (including a trailer for children and a chair)
- place for a bonfire
- a large terrace with a summer cinema
- 6-burner gas grill
- a full-size, professional beach volleyball court
- fold-out swimming pool for children
- a playground with swings, a slide, a sandpit, a climbing wall and a house equipped with toys
- games for adults and children, puzzles, toys for inclement weather
- terrestrial TV and access to Netflix
A short walk separates you from the beach on Lake Rotcze - 1 km. There are two beaches - one paid, belonging to the resort, the other public.
On the other hand, Lake Sumin is about a 5-minute walk from the house, but to go down to the water on our side of the shore you would have to go through thickets. A nice beach with a pier over Sumin is on the other side of the lake, about 10 minutes by car.
Our family likes walks along the forest educational paths of the Polesie National Park even more than the labyrinth by the lake.
We recommend starting the trip 6 km from us, in the village of Stare Załucze. There is the Teaching and Museum Center of the PPN. In the park museum you will see natural, archaeological, geological, ethnographic and historical exhibits. Outside, there is a museum shed with larger exhibits, a nature trail for the youngest "turtle" with a pond where you can watch mud turtles and the Animal Rehabilitation Center with an aviary for birds. In the museum you can also buy admission tickets to the nature trails of the Park.
What's next in the Polesie National Park:
- From the same car park as the Center, you will go to the "Spławy" nature trail.
Route length: approx. 7.5 km, including almost 4.5 km of wooden footbridges.
- Another nature trail worth visiting is "Czahary". It starts in the town of Zastawie (next to the observation tower of the Polish National Park). Route length: approx. 6.5 km
- It is also worth climbing the "Durne Swamp" lookout tower, which, as the name suggests, overlooks the Durne Swamp. It is worth taking something for mosquitoes with you to be able to enjoy the views calmly.
- There are bicycle racks by the lookout tower, so you can come here on two wheels (we have 8 bicycles and a trailer for children for you), because the tower is located on the Mietiułka bicycle path. The path begins half a kilometer behind the Monument to the Border Protection Corps in Wytyczno-Łowiszów. It is about 21 km long, and along the way you can see: Durne Bagno, a peat bog, Łowiszów Forest, a viewpoint in Wielki Łan, and the Mietiułka River.
- The "Perehod" nature trail is the most interesting path in the Polesie National Park. Typically ornithological. Even though the access to the parking lot leads along a bumpy road, it is worth the effort. The lakes, the sounds of cranes, ducks and other aquatic bird species make it a perfect place for a walk. The path starts in Pieszowola. Route length: approx. 5 km. On the "Perehod" path you will not find wooden footbridges, the path is accessible to families with prams (we do not recommend it after the rain). You can hike with your dog on a leash.
- It is also worth visiting the Pond Turtle Protection Centre, where scientists have created the right conditions for incubating turtles. In incubators, turtle eggs taken from endangered nests go through the final incubation period. In the spring, when the water level in the reservoirs surrounding the breeding grounds is high enough and the water is warmed up, the little turtles are released to their natural habitats after a sleepless first winter.
