In our blue house with a veranda, which in summer is a natural and obvious extension of the living room, you will be able to find respite. You will be accompanied by a view of the meadows and the Białowieża Forest, which begins right next to it.
In the garden there is a hammock among the trees, a fireplace and a vegetable garden.
There are bicycle paths and walking routes belonging to the Browsk forest district in Gruszki. There is an observation tower, a playground for children and an educational path explaining beekeeping.

17 km from us there is the Siemianówka Reservoir, an artificial reservoir on the Narew River, attractive for anglers, but also for recreational swimmers. There are walking and cycling paths around the reservoir. It is a perfect place to observe water birds migrating in spring and autumn.
It is half an hour from us to Białowieża, where there is a bison show reserve, the Palace Park with an observation tower and a strict reserve, which can only be entered with a licensed guide. Trails you can walk: Place of Power, Bison Ribs and Forest Landscapes. There is a bicycle rental on site, and cross-country skiing in the winter.

The Land of Open Shutters, formally covering three villages: Soce, Puchły and Trześcianka, is within reach of a car trip. In fact, it also extends to many smaller villages around, e.g. Ciełuszki, Pawłów, Kaniuk and Ryboł. This is a trail leading in the footsteps of traditional Podlasie architecture. You won't see such decorated cottages, wooden churches and churches in any other part of the country.
Also go to the skit in Odrynki, an Orthodox hermitage founded by Archimandrite Gabriel, a hermit monk. Skit is extremely picturesquely located, isolated, in swamps, among the floodplains of the Narew basin. You have to walk to it via a wooden footbridge that is 800 m long.
