Przystanek Gałkowo

We have two houses on our meadow - a larger Guest House and a smaller Prairie House. They are placed on the plot so that they do not look into each other's windows and have plenty of air between the buildings. On our premises there are also hammocks, a wooden swing and a place for a bonfire.  The Guest House has 4 bedrooms (bed layout 2, 1+1, 2+1, 2+1), 2 bathrooms with showers, a fully equipped kitchen, a living room and a large covered terrace. Here we can comfortably accommodate 10 people in the bedrooms and 2 on the sofa in the living room.   The Prairie House has 2 bedrooms with 5 sleeping places (bed layout 2, 2+1), a living room with a fold-out 2-person sofa, a kitchenette and a bathroom with a shower and a terrace.

At a distance of 400 meters from us there is a famous restaurant Potocki, and 2.5 km from us, in Ukta - an excellent restaurant Słowiówka and several restaurants in Ruciane-Nida. In our homes you can of course prepare meals yourself.

The nearest area is the Ferenstein stud farm, 400 m from us. You can pet the horses there, admire them running around the pastures and learn to ride. Throughout the year, the stud farm organizes various events and horse competitions, St. John's Night or Hubertus. The nearest forests are rich in mushrooms: chanterelles, boletes, boletes - just bend down and the addition to your scrambled eggs ends up in your basket. Within a radius of 2-3 km there are many kayak launching points on the picturesque Krutynia. The Krutynia flows through a landscape-water-forest reserve located in three communes: Piecki, Mikołajki and Ruciane-Nida. Its length is 99 km, and the area of its basin is 638 km². Within a radius of 4-10 km you will find several lakes, e.g. the quiet and intimate Mokre lake. It is located on the Krutynia kayak trail, within the Masurian Landscape Park. There are three nature reserves around the lake: Królewska Sosna, Zakręt and Krutyna. Another lake that is the kingdom of water sports is Lake Nidzkie. Its undoubted attraction is the islands, and the most beautiful of them are: Płaski Ostrów, Mały Ostrów, Kępa and Kalinowy Ostrów. There are also 2 ski slopes in the area: GołębiewSKI in Mikołajki and the G4W Ski Resort in Mrągowo, located on the peninsula of Lake Czos. A few kilometres from Gałkowo, in the small town of Pranie, is one of the most famous forester's lodges in the history of Polish literature. It was here, in the years 1950-53, that Konstanty Ildefons Gałczyński came to visit and it was here that such works as "Kronika Olsztyńska", "Wit Stwosz" were created. and "Niobe". In 1980, a poet's museum was opened in the forester's lodge, where, in addition to a beautiful interactive exhibition, numerous concerts and poetry evenings are held. It is a must-see in our region.
