Slow Huts Międzygórze

There are three cottages near the forest on the slope of Koci Grzbiet in Międzygórze. The fourth of them, the distinctive one, is our cottage, so during your stay you can count on our tips, support and shared activities. Each house consists of 2 levels. On the ground floor: – open space living room with dining room and kitchenette, (in the living room there is a place to sleep for 1 or 2 people - a fold-out futon on a frame or a corner sofa made of pallets with straw mattresses available) - bathroom, – terrace in front of the house, perfect for morning yoga, On the floor: – 2 independent bedrooms (1 with a double bed, 1 with two single beds that can be conveniently joined together. On the first floor there is also a hammock-style net suspended two meters above the ground. A wall lamp mounted above the net allows you to truly relax with a good book. Our Slow Huts are: – Meadow – the easiest to get to, with a view of the flower meadow and birch forest, – Forest – the deepest in the forest, the furthest away, you enter it through a bridge, – Góra Igliczna – here, from the windows of the dining room and bedroom, the landscape extends to Mount Igliczna. At Slow Huts you will feel peace, touch a tree, hear birds and crickets chirping, and see the mountains. The foreground is covered with a flower meadow with echiums, marigolds, poppies, cornflowers and clover, with specially designated zones for observing wildlife. Each zone has blankets, deckchairs for sunbathing and a basket with a magnifying glass and a diary of a meticulous observer of the local fauna and flora.

Preparing a slow food breakfast or snack basket involves us on a journey through selected points of the Kłodzko Valley to collect the unique flavors of the region and make consumption a fusion of various olfactory, taste and aesthetic pleasures.

The activities we offer for guests include: – spring collection of birch sap, – spring search for antler and bear garlic sheds, from which they make macerates together, – summer picking berries or linden flowers and preparing immune juices from them, – autumn harvest of herbs (St. John's wort, tansy or yarrow), – autumn trips to the rutting grounds, – lighting a fire in the snow in winter and making tea from raspberry sticks. You will find us near Bystrzyca Kłodzka, in the Eastern Sudetes, at the foot of Śnieżnik. This is the location of the picturesque Międzygórze, considered the most beautiful village in Lower Silesia. Slow Huts is located a bit off the beaten track, right next to the forest, surrounded by a vast garden where, in warm months, we arrange a relaxation zone with hammocks among the trees, tables and deckchairs. When you leave our house, you will almost immediately find yourself on a hiking, cycling and cross-country trail. MIĘDZYGORZE Be sure to take a walk around Międzygórze, which delights with its wooden buildings in the Tyrolean style with beautiful carvings, cloisters, balconies and balustrades. In Międzygórze you can see the historic urban layout, the wooden and brick Gigant holiday house at ul. Sanatoryjna 5 from 1882 (built thanks to Dr. Heinrich Janisch, who founded a center for the treatment of lung diseases as a climatic station here and initiated the period of development of the town), Gigant II, the wooden church of St. Józefa Oblubieńca with a baroque interior, the Krokus and Alpejski Dwór guesthouses and the former post office building. You can stop by the Dom nad Wodospadem for lunch, and go to the Kotlina Gallery for some atmospheric souvenirs. FOR CYCLISTS Two singletrack loops start in Jodłów, less than 20 km from us: Jodłów and Ostoja. Singletack Glacensis is the largest network of bicycle routes in Poland, offering over 200 km of one-way paths for two-wheelers. And among our Czech neighbors in Dolni Morava there is the Downhill Trail. FOR MOUNTAIN CLIMBERS AND CLIMBING LOVERS Right from our place you can go for a walk to Mount Igliczna. You can choose from: the red trail leading over the Wilczka Waterfall to the shelter under Igliczna, the green trail leading to the stone flood barrier and from there leading quite steeply up, and the yellow trail leading through the Garden of Fairy Tales located on the slope of Lesieniec. Below the peak there is a small shelter and the Maria Śnieżna sanctuary. From Międzygórze you can also climb Śnieżnik, where there is a new observation tower, where an observation tower was recently built (it is 34 m high). On clear days, you can see Śnieżka from the top, but you can also see the Alpine peaks (Dr. Krzysztof Strasburger photographed the Schneeberg and Rax massifs from there, 281 and 292 km away, respectively). Climbing fans will find rocks and great climbing conditions in Międzygórze. There are fully developed rocks here, such as Wilk, Baszta or Kozie, as well as wild ones that are almost not visited at all. We recommend Skała Brzuszki and Płyta nad Brzuszki. IN WINTER SEASON Beautiful cross-country trails can be found in the Bialskie Mountains. You can also go backcountry skiing in the area, and you can go ski touring to Śnieżnik. For skiing, we recommend the Dolni Morava or Bukova Hora resorts in the Czech Republic and the smaller Cenkovice resort. You can reach the Polish Czarna Góra in half an hour. The mentioned Dolni Morava complex also includes: a toboggan run, the Cloud Path, SkyBridge (the world's longest rope bridge for pedestrians) and playgrounds (including a water one). Where else is worth visiting, what to do and what to see? – A dam on the Wilczka River, the construction plan of which can be seen in Orańska, and the Wilczki Waterfall nature reserve, located in the Śnieżnicki Landscape Park. There are several viewing platforms and a historic bridge from the times of Marianna of Orange. The waterfall is beautifully lit at night and looks like the home of the elves from Tolkien's novels. – Marianna Orańska's Palace in Kamieniec Ząbkowicki. – The Phillumenistic Museum in Bystrzyca Kłodzka, which exhibits all objects related to the history of non-fire. – The ruins of the non-existent village of Rothflössel, currently Czerwony Strumień, where there are the remains of a baroque chapel. – Uranium mine in Kletno, where you can also visit the Earth Museum, the Bear Cave, a mineral heap and the flooded Kletno quarry. – Czech Pastviny reservoir (35 km from us), where you can rent kayaks, boats, or just swim.
