Lower Silesia is full of attractions – from magical historical places, castles, museums, through countless trails, forms created by nature, shelters to places offering great classes and workshops.
It is difficult to mention all of the first ones – the entire extraordinary Valley of Castles and Palaces, including the impressive Książ Castle with the Książ Stud Farm, the Ceramics Museum in Bolesławiec, the great multimedia exhibition Atmospheric Karkonosze opened for visitors by KPN in the beautiful walls of the Sobieszów Palace, the Basilica in Krzeszów considered a European pearl of the Baroque, or the Podgórze Uranium Mine run by absolute history enthusiasts and the Arado Project in Kamienna Góra.
Attractions that provide time in movement and nature are, of course, mountain trails leading through the Karkonosze National Park to Śnieżka, with picturesquely located Shelters (Samotnia, Odrodzenie, Dom Śląski, Strzecha Akademicka), Rudawski Landscape Park - Rudawy Janowickie and the entrance to Skalnik with a beautiful panorama of the Karkonosze, bike routes - Kaczawskie Singletracki and Giants (we recommend the loop in Borowice with the possibility of swimming in the Podgórna stream) or the Park in Bukowiec - a journey in time, a walk through the 18th century complex with the possibility of renting a boat and sailing on one of the ponds. It is worth seeing the magical land of rocks - Adršpach Rock Town - impressive, huge rock formations, the height of which reaches up to 100 meters, decorated with waterfalls, a lake, narrow passages create an extraordinary landscape. One of the most charming towns offering hiking trails, cross-country trails in winter and ski slopes, with an outdoor ice rink surrounded by trees is Mała Upa, located at an altitude of 1050 m above sea level. You will also find the aforementioned restaurants and a great winter equipment rental there.
For fans of downhill skiing: Czarnów Ski, located 10 minutes from the house - a small, well-functioning resort with illuminated slopes. Skimu Mała Upa - a small, charming complex with approx. 7 km of trails and the largest ski resort in the Czech Republic - Skiresort.cz, including Pec Pod Snezkou and Janske Lazne (Cerna Hora) - a total of 50 km of trails (40 min. drive).
The house is surrounded by forests and meadows, where cows and sheep (the largest herd in the area is 800) are traditionally grazed. You can also observe regularly encountered forest animals - roe deer and deer (autumn, unusual rutting, heard from the window of the house). In the summer, in the immediate vicinity of the house you will find streams, blueberries, raspberries and forest blackberries in large quantities, in the autumn mushrooms - from chanterelles, through the abundant parasol mushroom to boletus.
The initiative of events and workshops is also active - from ceramic workshops, through beekeeping, observations of bats with sound detectors, or the observation and audio recording of the autumn rutting organized by the KPN with a walk with binoculars from the Hunter's Lodge through Samotnie to Strzecha Akademicka - an amazing adventure at dusk, we were there - we recommend it!
