At first glance, Stara Morawa does not differ from other villages in the Śnieżnik Massif. However, it is old for a reason. The first mention of Miraw (the then name) appeared in documents from 1346 issued in Prague by Prince John of Luxembourg. It was the same year when his son Charles IV became king of Germany, Bydgoszcz received city rights from Casimir the Great, and Edward III defeated the French in the Battle of Crécy. Centuries later, there was a marble mine, an ironworks producing cannons and cannonballs, and a lime kiln processing dolomite deposits from open-pit mines in the area. Was happening!
Now nothing happens, and that's what we love. From the windows of the house for a couple or a slightly larger group with teenagers (there are two bedrooms, each for three people) you will have views of Młyńsko Mountain, Suszyca and the ski lift at Kamienica (800 m from us). From the terrace to the rustling birches and meadows. Immediately after breakfast, which I can provide you in a basket, you can hit the road. Depending on the season, these include cycling, cross-country skiing, skiing, caving, walking up and down, or an escapade to the reservoir accompanied by an inflatable crocodile. We invite you to the Morawka River valley, where between the Bialskie Mountains and the Śnieżnik Massif you can lose track of time and gain peace of mind.
Next door, 30 m away, there is our second, slightly larger house:

Our house has 80 m², is luxuriously equipped and taken care of in every detail. Our favorite room is the bathroom with a bathtub and a shower with a view of the mountains. We are surrounded by the peaks of the Bardzkie Mountains and the Śnieżnik Massif.
The interior atmosphere is created by: a fireplace, panoramic windows, designer furniture, lamps and accessories. Downstairs there is an open space for spending time TOGETHER with a comfortable sofa, a swing and a fireplace. There are two large bedrooms on the first floor. Each room is for three people, has a double bed and a single bed. We attach great importance to comfortable sleep. High-quality mattresses, pillows and duvets will make you feel blissful and relaxed. The house also has a spacious kitchen and a large table, as well as a room for storing suitcases and other things.
Our second cottage is about 30 meters from this cottage. A slightly larger one (with 4 bedrooms for 8 people), where we welcome pets and younger children (you can find it here: https://slowhop.com/pl/miejsca/2209-polna-mieta-classic.html). You will not look into each other's windows, we have ensured as much privacy as possible. We, the hosts, live 100 meters away and will be happy to tell you where to go for a walk, where to go skiing, and where to bike, if you want.
IMPORTANT! We have a charger for electric cars.
The kitchen is a real oasis for lovers of cooking and pleasant moments at the table. A large induction hob, an oven with a microwave function, a dishwasher and a large fridge with a freezer will make the process of preparing meals easier. You can eat them on beautiful tableware, at an oak table or on a large terrace.
If you wish, I will be happy to prepare a breakfast basket for you. We will discuss the details before your arrival or on site.
Revel your soul, there will be no boredom. Well, unless you want to, then boredom comes for a cup of coffee, an after-dinner nap, puts you in a hammock and lets you lie with your belly button up. Usually, however, the natural offer of attractions in the area is too tempting and pulls out even the most ardent fans of lazing around.
But let's start with what you will have and can have under your nose. There is a goat inside, and from the terrace there is a soothing view of birches, meadows and mountains. On request, we can bring a sauna and a hot tub for you (this involves additional pleasure, but also an additional fee).
Our family of 4 knows something about this, because we spend most of our time outdoors all year round. We will be happy to tell you what, where and how in the Kłodzko Valley. The Kamienica ski lift is right under your nose (800 meters from Polna Mięta), and the Czarna Góra ski center is 15 minutes away by car. The cross-country ski trails are about 5 km long. The combination of Polish cross-country skiing trails with Czech ones makes us the largest center after Jakuszyce.
After sunbathing or swimming, go to the recreational reservoir in Stara Morawa (2 km). We will also direct you to our favorite hiking trails (for advanced and walkers) with observation towers.
For cyclists, our area is a real paradise, we use it ourselves. Hundreds of kilometers of trails, with the largest network of Singletrack Glacensis paths in Poland stretching for 260 km. These are built in forest areas, one-way routes only for cyclists. If you don't have your own bike, it's not a problem, we have several friendly equipment rental companies. For those who prefer recreational trips on asphalt roads, we have plenty of picturesque roads with low traffic between villages at the foot of the Śnieżnik Massif.
Two bicycle routes pass through Stara Morawa:
– black bicycle trail: western Bialskie Mountains loop (Stronie Śląskie, Młynowiec, Przełęcz Dział, Przełęcz Sucha, Nowa Morawa, Bolesławów, Stara Morawa, Stronie Śląskie), length 24.70 km, medium difficulty level,
– black bicycle trail: Janowa Góra loop (Stronie Śląskie (town), Stronie Śląskie (village), Janowa Góra, Kletno, Stara Morawa, Stronie Śląskie), length 14.20 km, recreational route.
If you prefer walking, the path to the forest starts right in front of the house. In the neighboring town of Kletno you can visit the Bear Caves and the underground route in the old uranium mine in Kletno. For health reasons, we recommend health resorts in Lądek-Zdrój, Polanica, Długopol, Kudowa and Duszniki. Another nice place to see is Międzygórze with the Wilczki waterfall. This town was built in the Alpine style, and the buildings there are architectural gems.
We provide you with sports equipment: balls, a bocce ball set, a net and badminton rackets. The living room gives direct access to the terrace, where there is a comfortable set of lounge furniture and a large table with chairs where you can eat meals. The large garden space allows for various activities without getting in each other's way. We have a chillout zone with hammocks and a bench under a birch tree, a fireplace and benches, a sports zone and a playground.
There is a shed on the property where you can store sports equipment. We have friendly rental companies of electric bikes, off-road scooters, downhill and cross-country skis.
What’s there for employees?
In the common area there is a large wooden table overlooking the garden. You can work in one of the bedrooms, on the swing in the living room or prepare a work station on the terrace. The internet works flawlessly.
