In the heart of the Śnieżnik Massif, on the slope of Koci Grzbiet, with a view of Góra Igliczna, Slow Huts were built. We built them at a slow pace, because although we love being on the move, we are in no hurry. Have you heard of friluftsliv? This is the Norwegian philosophy of outdoor life that has guided us for years. Happiness may mean something different for each nation, but for us it is contact with nature. This and the Scandinavian design of our cottages connect us with the Norwegians. We live in a small house here - don't be surprised by its austere façade! In line with the new trend in ecological architecture, to produce as little CO₂ as possible, we decided to insulate the building of the former goat factory from the inside and leave hollow bricks on the outside. Our TV is a large window in which we watch a different nature program every day, inspiring us to prepare activities for you. We will invite you to a spring search for wild garlic from which we will make macerates, autumn trips to the rut and winter lighting a fire in the snow and cooking tea from raspberry sticks. We will also prepare for you a slow food breakfast basket with unique flavors of the region. We are looking for them throughout the Kłodzko Valley. We invite you to our beech and spruce forest on a mountain slope. When you see a sign along the way: Slow down and you will find the rhythm of your life's path - know that you have arrived.
PS In winter, like in Norway, we invite you with chains on your wheels.
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.
In winter, we suggest applying face cream and walking forward, recharging your batteries with the purest whiteness of snow.
