One of my favorite childhood memories is bathing in a hot tub with the balcony doors open. When I was little, I thought that every house had a bathroom. There are more obvious things that are not obvious to me in this 130-year-old, post-German building. Like the fact that it is located in the heart of Szklarska Poręba, and yet it is quiet and peaceful here. The interior tells a story, delights with its spaciousness and the warmth that reigns here, which is passed on to the residents. In the space open to all four sides of the world, colors, textures, patterns and shapes await. Recovered old tiles, recreated arches and restored floors fill a comfortable apartment for 4 people with an atmospheric bedroom and a comfortable sofa in the living room. With a balcony for celebrating everyday life and occasions, a large table that brings people together, and a kitchen where you want to conjure up something delicious. Frey comes from the surname of my grandparents' wonderful neighbors, who moved into this house after the war. I am proud that after a year and a half of effort, we managed to restore it to its former form.
Come and enjoy sensual relaxation in an aesthetic interior, delight in old architecture, closeness to nature and the joy of discovering the paths of the Karkonosze Mountains.
Frey is an apartment in a former German, over 130-year-old house located in the center of Szklarska Poręba, which I restored to its original shape. Its 75-meter interior, open to every side of the world, features renovated boards and old tiles, arches connecting huge rooms, wooden windows and doors (as well as a wooden ceiling in one of the rooms) and colorful decor referring to the history of this place.
The apartment space is divided into:
– a bedroom with a double bed (on the garden side, so it is quiet),
– large, spacious living room with a wooden ceiling, armchairs and a comfortable fold-out sofa,
– kitchen-dining room with a large table connected to the living room by a large arch,
– bathroom with bathtub and access to the balcony,
– a second balcony to which you can exit from the kitchen and living room,
– utility room with dishwasher, washing machine and dryer,
– hall where you can store your equipment (bikes, skis, snowboard – we have drainboards),
– glazed porch with a clothes hanger.
Don't let the proximity of the center of Szklarska worry you. The house is located on a very quiet street and exactly 78 meters from the forest. And we will tell you what our favorite non-touristy places in the area are.
You can simply relax in our unique house. Enjoy the silence, the proximity of the forest (78 meters away), the bathtub in the bathroom where you can take a bath with the balcony door open (in winter it's like soaking in a tub), celebrate on the terrace, feel over 100 years of history this place, experience its energy, be charged with colors and be with yourself.
The house is located in the heart of Szklarskie Poręby, but on a small street with only 6 houses, where it is quiet and peaceful. It's a great base to explore the city and hit the trails. You can leave the house and through the forest reach the Szklarka Waterfall and Chybotek, from where you can go towards the Karkonosze Grave and the Złoty Widok viewing point.
The unique tourist attractions in our area include:
– Śnieżne Kotły, i.e. glacial cirques and a great viewpoint,
– Wielki Szyszak, the second peak of the Karkonosze Mountains,
– Jakuszycka Glade, which is a paradise for cross-country skiing fans,
– Jakuszyce Glassworks,
– Crocuses reserve in Górzyniec, best to visit in early spring,
– Bobrowe Skały, attractive especially for climbing enthusiasts,
– Wang temple,
– ski slopes in the border town of Harrachov.
– Palace in Staniszów and the captivating Pakoszów Palace,
– Juna Land Museum.
A well-developed network of tourist trails in the city and the surrounding area (almost 100 km of marked tourist trails) and the proximity to chairlifts and drag lifts located in the mountains create very good conditions for practicing a variety of tourism all year round.
You can also have fun cycling. You can choose the route depending on your fitness, willingness and skills, e.g. the 9-kilometer Three District Connector or the difficult 50-kilometer Cogeneration Route, which leads through the Karkonosze and Jizera Mountains. You can also hit the middle and drive 20 kilometers on the Large Szklarska Pętla.
Jakuszyce needs no introduction to cross-country skiers. Those who have already mastered the technique can try their hand at the Piast Run, and beginners can start learning with an instructor and, after an hour of training, take the route to the beautiful Orle shelter.
This space is conducive to work. It stimulates creativity, inspires and triggers ideas. If you want to come to workation, don't hesitate. Internet works great.
