I remember running around this attic as a child, which was then one big old hay warehouse. My friends and I jumped on hay bales and made bases, built barricades, and you went up the ladder through a hole in the ceiling to the attic. Later, when my parents had already renovated Jesionówka (Hospitality Farm) and started receiving guests, changes came, but I changed and grew too. The attic changed from a hay warehouse into a micro museum of weaving equipment and a billiards room. My parents dreamed of such a place, because they played their first games of billiards on a similar table when they went abroad to pick fruit. You could say that this place grew up with me. First it served as a playground, then as a place for socializing over billiards, and now it's time for the next stage. It's time to share this piece of history with you.
Living with me, you will see the yard where I grew up and which grew up with me. You will probably notice the parents who are bustling around in the garden and greeting the Guests of the Guest House, you will notice our shepherd and cats. I renovated the 200-year-old barn in a classic way, I arranged 4 apartments in it - all with kitchens and bathrooms. I invite you to the Śnieżnik Massif, drop by.
Our apartments were created after the renovation of an old, 200-year-old, German barn, which, as is the case with barns, used to be a home for farm animals, a place for farm equipment and hay. However, those times are long gone and the barn has gained a new life.
Today, it houses 4 apartments, 3 in the former attic and one on the ground floor. Each apartment has its own bathroom and kitchen. Each apartment can accommodate up to 3 people.
The apartment on the ground floor is adapted for people moving in wheelchairs. You can enter it without having to climb any steps, only low 2-3 cm thresholds. The doors are wide, 1 meter in the passage. The bathroom is equipped with handles and a special sink, the shower is without a cabin.
Each apartment has a wooden floor, on some of the walls we used cleaned boards that once served as the floor of the barn's attic. You can also see the beams that form the structure supporting the roof.
Each apartment is equipped with its own kitchen, where you can prepare your own meals. There are many interesting, touristic places in the area and in almost every one there are good restaurants with excellent food.
In the Kłodzko Valley there are many attractions related to history, architecture, nature, hiking, cycling and winter sports. And here you can relax in peace after a day full of attractions, lie in a hammock, light a bonfire in the evening or simply look at the starry sky.
What to do in a place where time slows down? You can do nothing, but then you will not discover the wonderful potential of the Kłodzko Valley. However, you can observe the Śnieżnik Massif from the windows of the apartments or from the swing in the garden. On an August night you will spot shooting stars, in the morning in the garden with coffee, you will listen to birds singing, you will be delighted by the mists enveloping the surrounding mountains, in the evening it is time for a sauna, a bonfire. A fireplace, wine and a book in the "barn" also sound inviting.
We live in the mountains, on the edge of the forest. So you can hike as much as you want, go crazy on singletracks by bike and admire the views from Śnieżnik. It is not worth eating in the shelter at the top, so take a decent provisions for the road.
Returning to singletracks. Singletrack Glacensis is the largest network of forest bike paths in Europe. The routes run along the eastern wall of the Kłodzko Valley, from the very north (Srebrna Góra/Bardo) to the very south (Czarna Góra/Międzygórze), along the way stopping off at Złoty Stok and Lądek Zdrój, as well as passing Kłodzko in close proximity. You have about 4 km to the Jodłów and Ostoja loops, which is the closest route to us. The good news for beginner singletrack riders is that the level of difficulty on all routes is very even, i.e. easy.
With the whole family or alone, you can go to the nearby Trójmorski Wierch in 2.5 hours, drink water from a mountain spring on the way, and then admire the area from the observation tower at the top. To get you started, we recommend a walk to the mountain above the house, i.e. Pątnik. And for views of the entire Basin, go to Mały Śnieżnik.
For climbing fans in Międzygórze, there are rocks and great climbing conditions. Silence, no other climbers, and exceptional nature and views. You can feel like pioneers breaking into the local gneiss peaks for the first time. There are fully developed rocks here, such as Wilk, Baszta or Kozie, as well as completely wild and rarely visited ones.
If you are not afraid of icy water, you can try to dip your feet in the stream flowing through the village. Goworówka is full of beautiful stones, clean water. It looks especially beautiful flowing through the Czarny Rów gorge.
The entire Kłodzko Valley is rich in tourist attractions, natural, historical, religious, ski resorts. Just across the border on the Czech side there is, among others, a "path in the clouds" and the Dolni Morawa ski resort.
What’s there for children?
Lots of space to run, cats and a dog to pet. Time for nature observations, let's go! We will show the kids what a buddleia looks like and what kind of wings a water nymph has, what catnip smells like and what paths our cats take. You will see that a huge German shepherd is a cuddler, that it is never too early to go skiing, and mushrooms after rain grow faster than kids. For children we have a spacious garden where they can run around at will, a playground with ladders and swings. For bad weather we have a library in the living room equipped with interesting books for children, a great alternative to TV.
You can take your kids to the Tri-City Wiech, to the river, and by ski lift to Czarna Góra. For horseback riding adventures go to a friendly farm in Gajnik, Nowa Wieś or Potoczek - each just a few minutes away by car.
What’s there for employees?
In apartments 1, 3 and 5 there are comfortable tables at which you can work, we also have good wi-fi.
