While reading, lying down, cooking, you can stare at the view from the large windows, which changes depending on the time of day, year and weather. We are high in the mountains and even though there are a few houses nearby, you can feel that this is the kingdom of wild animals that come to the house and fly over it.
We are right next to the trail leading to the shelter on Hala Boracza (which is lower), so hiking is within reach. From Hala Boracza (stop at the shelter to taste blueberry buns) through Polana Cukiernica you can go to Hala Redykalna. You can go to Hala Rysianka, Hala Lipowska, Wielka Racza, Zapolanka or Rycerzowa. On September 29, Hala Boracza hosts the autumn redyk, or the roundup of sheep from the pastures. These are also great areas for mountain bikes, and in winter for ski touring.
The cycling route along the Soła River is 17.5 km long and leads from Rajcza through Milówka and Cisiec to Węgierska Górka. Although these are mountain towns, the route is not demanding because it leads through the river valley. There is also a route: Milówka, Rajcza, Rycerka Dolna, Rycerka Górna, Młada Hora, Ujsoły, which is 59 km long. These are two loops that start in Rajcza with sections of varying difficulty. The easier loop is the northern loop through Nieledwie and Milówka (23 km), and the southern loop is more difficult (through Rycerka and Ujsoły, 36 km).
