Dom na Połoninie

The house on the pasture is located in Nowica, in the Low Beskids. I live downstairs, the whole mountain is at your disposal. The first floor of the house consists of 3 rooms, a bathroom with a shower and a bright hall with a kitchenette. It is rented in its entirety as one apartment with 7 sleeping places. Room layout: – a room with a triangular window facing west and a panorama of the Grybowskie Mountains has 2 single beds, – a triangular room with a platform and a window overlooking pastures with horses and goats and Magura Małastowska – there can be one double mattress or two single ones on the platform, – the largest of the rooms with a double bed and two single beds and a table with chairs. Families and groups of friends will find the best place with us. On the ground floor there is a dining room where meals are served and a sideboard with a coffee corner and a fireplace. The house has a porch and a terrace overlooking the Grybowskie Mountains.

There are rumors that you can eat tasty food at Dom na Połoninie, and I openly admit that I really care about seasonal, local and tasty cuisine. I prepare meals from what I grow myself and what I get from my neighbors. My dairy products are mainly goat products (unscented from Anglo-Nubian goats), as well as yoghurts, butter and cheeses. I bake the rye bread myself, and the eggs are only home-made. After a short interview, I prepare a menu for you, partly based on recipes from the local Lemko or Pogórze cuisine (you will have the opportunity to try, among others, proziaki, fuczki or dishes made from kolczaki with mushrooms, from which I make cutlets or tripe). On request, the menu can be vegetarian or typically meat-based. It may also be inspired by traditional French cuisine, which I am used to while living in the French mountains. In the miniature kitchenette in the hall you will find: an electric stove, a microwave, a fridge, a kettle, a dishwasher, a set of basic dishes and a worktop.

You can come here for the view of the Grybowskie Mountains. You can look at it from the terrace - the perfect place to admire sunsets in all shades of gold. This postcard is good to look at accompanied by the crackling fire. From the porch, when the weather is good, you can see the Tatra Mountains. You can come here for a group of animals - dogs, horses and goats eager to pet them. For the trails and wildness of the Low Beskids. And finally, and perhaps above all, to look at the world from a distance. It can be difficult to get here because it's a long way to the country road, and chains may come in handy in winter. And once you get there, you don't want to leave the village valley. You can practice slow rest here, enjoy the undisturbed silence and find your refuge. You can choose the active option - then we will sit down together after breakfast with a map to draw up plans for trips - walking, cycling, running. They will direct you to places in villages that no longer exist, I will point out historic Orthodox churches and charming museums. Together we can go to the rut. The house in Połonina is kind to people and animals. I also live well with my neighbors, so (if you want) you will be able to experience gardening and agricultural work here. Through binoculars you will be able to look at a herd of wild Kabardian horses that live on the other side of the valley. Mountains Mountain trails start right next to it. The house is located at the intersection of tourist trails (green and yellow), from which you can go on hiking trips in many directions. I have suggestions for trips of varying degrees of difficulty. We can also go for a walk together, for example to the valley of the displaced village of Regietów Wyżny, where herds of Hutsul horses graze in the summer. Bicycles We have four old, recycled mountain bikes on site, serviced on a regular basis and suitable for trips both near and far (we put change in the tin for servicing). There are also rental companies in the area where you can find classic MTB and electric bikes. It is best to book before arrival. Horses The horses are raised in the spirit of natural horsemanship. We want contact with people to be pleasant for them, which is why the opportunity to ride in the saddle is available for longer stays due to the need to get to know our friends and largely depends on the level of advancement of the riders. For children, guided tours and work from the ground (playing with horses) are possible if the weather permits. Cross-country skis In winter, there is a trail for cross-country skiers in the Połonina (the loop is 6 to 12 km long, depending on the amount of snow). The start is right outside your doorstep. There are many marked routes in the area. Near the house, in Krzywa, there is a popular cross-country skiing center. Ski slopes and driving lessons The house in Połoninie is located practically on the slopes of the Magura Małastowska massif, where the Magura Skipark is located. It is a 1.5 km long route of red difficulty with a chairlift. For experienced skiers, it is a great place to ski on a well-prepared slope, with an even slope and, most importantly, no queues. Even in the peak season, the wait to board the ski lift is only a few minutes. There is also a ski resort in Małastów and several other smaller ski lifts nearby. As a ski instructor, I offer guests individual lessons and group classes for children. Zalew Klimowski You can get there on foot (approx. 2.5 hours of walking) or by car (the journey will take you 15 minutes). Lake Klimkowskie is a very clean reservoir located between the surrounding mountains. There is a beach where you can lie down with a blanket and rent kayaks, rowing boats and a windsurfing school. At the turn of August and September, the Innowica festival takes place in Nowica - theater meetings organized by the Association of Friends of Nowica. Musicians live in the cottage at Nowica 9 and concerts and other cultural events are often held there.
