There is an idyllic atmosphere here, which will appeal to those who love nature and want to spend a lazy holiday. It will also be good for lovers of bicycles and kayaks, two kayaks and four bicycles are waiting on site.
The Iława Canal flows near the cottage, on the waters of which sailboats often appear. On its shores you can sit down and reflect.
The closest to us is Lake Kocioł, on the eastern shore of which is the village of Karnity. On the beach by the castle, or more precisely the palace and park complex from the 19th century, there are attractions for children and adults, mini-golf and a menagerie. Other larger beaches are: the municipal beach in Miłomłyn, the municipal beach in Ostróda, the beach by Lake Szeląg Wielki and the beach on the island on Lake Drwęckie, which can be reached by boat or kayak.
The blue bicycle trail of regional scope, which leads from Zalewo to Iława (and runs through Debinka), is perfect for cycling.
There are many trails in the area leading through forests and lakes, perfect for walking, running or cycling. For example, we recommend a walk through the Lake Iłgi reserve, where you can meet flycatchers, wood pigeons, tawny owls, and kingfishers. For a slightly longer trip, we recommend the Jasne nature reserve, which includes forests by the lake of the same name (which, by the way, comes from the clarity of the water). Next to it is also the smaller Lake Czarne, which in turn owes its color to the very lush life of underwater fauna and flora. There is also the Taborskie Sosny nature reserve, where several hundred-year-old pines grow, reaching up to 30-40 meters in height. For shipbuilders, they were an exceptional material for building, among other things, masts of sailing ships.
Here is a small list of places in the area that you can visit:
- the ruins of the castle in Szymbark (43 km from us),
- Jerzwałd (25 km), the place where Zbigniew Nienacki, the author of the series about Pan Samochodzik, created, where you can walk in the author's footsteps and visit the nature education center (great for children),
- Miłomłyn - a town located on the Elbląg Canal route, where there is a chamber lock,
- the Vistula Lagoon,
- Stegna (you can reach the sea in an hour),
- Olsztynek (with an open-air museum and blueberry buns from the Jagodzianka confectionery in season),
- Frombork and Olsztyn,
- the Ostoja beaver nature reserve on the Pasłęka River,
- the sanctuary in Gietrzwałd,
- the battlefields of Grunwald,
- Ostróda with a very pleasant promenade by Lake Drwęckie.
In Ostróda you can also rent a kayak, SUP board or boat. The Drwęca River flows through Ostróda - perfect for kayaking and very unique, because it is a nature reserve along its entire length (the only river in Poland). The Drwęca is considered one of the most beautiful kayaking routes.
The Miłomłyn commune, where we are located, has the status of a health resort - you will be delighted by the purity of the local air. In Miłomłyn itself you can visit a salt graduation tower.
