Some people dream of space flights, others of a cruise in the Caribbean, and we just wanted to have a windmill. In Masuria. Not just any windmill - our imagination was stimulated by those that we had seen in Spain and France years earlier. And although we modeled it on southern buildings, the windmill looks as if it had always stood on the hill in Zyndaki. We built it 6 years ago using the same method as 200 years ago. And when it was finally ready, our ideas of what the space between the three lakes in Zyndaki might look like did not end at all. Below the windmill there is a wooden house where we will live someday. However, it is empty for now. One day it will be here at all - we are in the process of creating a ceramics studio where we will invite you to workshops. However, before we make all our dreams come true, we decided to create another place for an unusual form of relaxation, because we have always liked what is original the most. Right next to the forest, there was a small glamping site with one very comfortable tent with a special shape. It is close to nature, but you do not have to give up comforts: in a wooden house hidden in a birch forest, a comfortable kitchen and bathroom await you.
We value craftsmanship, living close to nature and space. Kindness and joy of life are even closer to us. If you feel the same way, welcome. We offer wake-ups with a view of the windmill on the hill and nights with the forest rustling behind the tent wall.
On a small hill, surrounded by three lakes, there is the Zyndaki Windmill. Our wooden house is located right next door. And below, on the edge of the forest, a long distance from the windmill and the house, there is Glamping Zyndaki. It is an intimate and very comfortably furnished tent for people who want close contact with nature and an unusual form of relaxation.
The tent has a comfortable bed for 2 people and additionally 2 single fold-out futons. It also has electricity and bedside lamps so you can read in the evenings.
In a nearby wooden house, we created a bathroom with a shower and a kitchen - everything to make glamping life as comfortable as possible.
The plot where the glamping site is located is not fenced.
In the house hidden in a birch and alder forest, you will find a small but really well-equipped kitchen, where you will find a fridge, a stove and a coffee machine. There will also be a place for a bonfire and a grill at your disposal.
If you are not comfortable with cooking, you may like the option of eating at We Młynie. We highly recommend this restaurant in Warpuny, where the food is very tasty. You can eat there fish soup or zander in chanterelles, as well as pizza or a burger.
It's like this here: no internet, poor coverage, around fields, meadows and lakes. For some it may be the definition of boredom, for us it is the best in the world. And we will never tire of these views and walks around the area.
At location:
– there is a bookcase and board games,
– you will make a bonfire (with waffles! more information in the food section),
– we have 2 kayaks and we will take you to the river with them,
– there are deckchairs – we suggest lying down in front of the fan, reading and looking at the clouds.
There is a forest just a stone's throw away, and there are three lakes around which you can reach on foot.
There are rural beaches on lakes Warpuńskie (2 km) and Zyndackie (1.5 km) where you can relax. At Lake Giełądzki, where you will reach through the forest, there is no beach on the shore closest to us, but there is a pier where you can also sit down and relax.
A little further:
– You've probably heard about the picturesque Krutynia and the rafting trips that take place on this river. But did you know that the Krutyń trail starts right next to us? The thin stream flowing from Lake Warpuńskie through Zyndackie is the beginning of this river. During the season, kayaking traffic on Krutynia is similar to Marszałkowska in Warsaw, but in the nearby sections it is quieter. We have 2 single-person kayaks and we can drop you off at a place where you can swim privately
– We are lovers of charming Reszel, a town 20 km away. It is quiet, picturesque, and on September 1 it completely dies, which has its own charm for those who like to visit off-season. In Reszel there is a Gothic castle with a wonderful view of the historic buildings and the Warmian landscape. The castle also has a gallery and a restaurant with a beautiful courtyard.
There is a lot to discover in Masuria and nearby Warmia. It is beautiful here at any time of the year, and this region will charm both those who want to relax in peace and those who love sightseeing, history and architecture. Those who rest best when moving will also be delighted. Here's what else you can do:
– ride bikes, using picturesque routes: the Bicycle Loop around the Great Masurian Lakes trail is 300 km long – you can, for example, start in Mrągowo 15 km from here,
– skiing on the Four Winds Mountain,
– go to the nature reserve on Lake Łukajno and observe wild birds,
– Krutyń (on the Krutynia River) visit the Natural History Museum, and near this village also the Zakręt Reserve – you will see floating islands there with your own eyes, and maybe even meet an insectivorous sundew,
– take a trip to the Kadzidłowo Wild Animal Park (recommended especially to families with children – in the summer there are crowds of families here, so it's best to go to Kadzidłowo off-season – be sure to also visit the iconic Oberża pod Psem for plum dumplings or dumplings with groats and cottage cheese.
– go on a trip along the trail of Teutonic castles: in addition to Reszel, there are castles in Nidzica, Kętrzyn, Ryn, Olsztyn, Lidzbark Warmiński and Szczytno.
What’s there for children?
For children there are holidays like old times. Believe it or not, from our own experience we know that even smartphones and tablets are out of the question here, because rural entertainment seems to be much more fun. Rolling down the hill, gliding to the lake with flowing hair, playing hide and seek. It's simple and no frills, but it's like something out of a fairy tale or an adventure movie.
During the season, you will most likely meet our two Hutsul horses here, with whom we come on holiday. You will be able to observe them, pet them and interact with them.
What’s there for employees?
Leave work behind. Here we restore the factory settings to come back to it with new energy. We don't have internet.
