Schowanko

You will have to look for the hiding place first. After all, it's a place in the middle of the forest. Navigation won't make this task easier for you, but we will share precise tips. In a house hidden in the Międzyrzecze Warta and Widawka Landscape Park, we have four rooms for you - each with its own bathroom with a shower, as well as: a kitchen and a dining room with a living room function and a fireplace, as well as a toilet. Sleeping arrangement: a room with a double bed (with private entrance only from the outside), a room with a double bed and a mezzanine with a single bed, a room with a single bed and a room with a very large double bed. All rooms are located on the ground floor, with different entry levels, and two of them have separate entrances from the outside of the house. Some of them also provide access to a terrace with a vast view of the ponds. You will hear a stream, sometimes see a kingfisher, swans, and on cloudless nights you will see a starry sky. Right next to the house there is a renovated barn available for guests in spring, summer and autumn. There is a 45-square-meter workshop room and a smaller, 20-square-meter room that is a relaxation zone with a fireplace. Kids have plenty of space to play there. There is also a cloakroom in the barn with cabinets for clothes and mats. My parents' house is also close to the house and they come there sometimes, sometimes with guests - so it may happen that you won't be there alone. Due to the animals living with us - adorable dogs and a large flock of sheep, we invite you to Schowanka without pets. We say yes to an intimate celebration at our place. Stag parties are too much though. PS We want you to become part of this place, so if your reservation falls in spring or autumn during the tree planting period, we will give you a seedling that you can plant on our premises.

In season, enjoy the grapes that grow right next to the entrance, as well as apples, pears, currants, gooseberries, raspberries and a whole host of other delicacies. You can encounter fruit trees and bushes while walking around our area. We also encourage you to use the gifts of the forest at any time of the year. Living in harmony with nature is particularly important to us. For beginner herbalists, we have dried goodies to encourage you, from which you can prepare infusions yourself. There is a market in Burzenina, a few kilometers away, where you can buy fruit, vegetables, honey, plum jam, pickles and other local specialties. And dad Jerzy, whenever he is there, will be happy to treat you to homemade liqueurs.

Hide in the Międzyrzecze Warta and Widawka Landscape Park, in the 17 hectares of meadows and mixed forests with centuries-old oaks and beeches surrounding us, just watch out for the swamps! We have some of them here too. Our habitat is immersed in nature, which you can admire here. We observed 58 different species of birds here, and sometimes you can also see a roe deer or a deer. Here you will listen to the call of cranes that nest in the swamps all year round and see beaver lodges. In spring, bird concerts begin, and from April to June you can also hear frog concerts. They carry through all 6 joints. Schowanko is a place created for: – having picnics in the garden, feasting by the bonfire, – jogging on the grass or in the barn room (note: not available in winter), – running, cycling in nearby forests, – an intimate celebration, celebrating on some occasion or without, staying together and hiding away, working, – children's games in nature and in an enchanted house covered with ivy, – walking by our ponds visible from the terrace – you can fish there, cool off in the summer and go swimming in the winter, – drinking coffee on the terrace, which can be accessed directly from two rooms, – expeditions in search of herbs and rhizomes (we managed to identify many species, including mullein, clinging bedstraw, common chickweed, and gout), – reading books on a swing in the garden, - relieve stress, shout out as much as you want, – planting a tree – during the planting period, after your arrival, a seedling will be waiting for you to plant in the Schowanek area. What about the area?
