Quick check


From above, everything looks smaller. Problems, everyday worries, and from our mountain even the Dunajec and Szczawnica. It is here, in the place of our family peace, 600 m above sea level, in the buffer zone of the Poprad Landscape Park, that a dozen or so years ago I bought a small house on a small plot of land from Mr. Stanisław. Gradually, I bought the adjacent land, brought in electricity and expanded the house, which has become a spacious place of rest for 10 people, i.e. my family, friends and friends of these friends. I also developed the entire area around, creating a unique space to which we gladly return at every opportunity. Because how can you not use it, when there is a sauna, a garden tub, two-person hammocks, a pizza oven, a fireplace, a gazebo and even a summer kitchen with fires. There is also a chance for a hot coffee on the terrace, because the children play on the boules pitch, in a wooden house or draw with chalk on the wall. And with the coffee there is a view. To the Pieniny Mountains, Szczawnica, the meandering Dunajec and the Tatras in the distance.

PS Access is only possible by off-road vehicle. The access road is steep in places, so in winter, when there is snow, strong chains will be necessary. If necessary, the caretaker of the habitat will be happy to provide free transport, and you can leave your own vehicles in a safe place in Szczawnica.

We are not on-site, but friendly help will look after you

Many years ago, as a child, I spent my holidays in Tylmanowa and Krościenko nad Dunajcem, where I served as an altar boy in the local church. After years, I decided to take my children on a bike trip around the peaks of the Pieniny Mountains. Over time, the children forgave me. Since that memorable trip, we started visiting Szczawnica regularly with the whole family. Today, the children also come here independently - with friends and families. This is our beloved corner of the world, with which we became associated several decades ago. We spent Christmas, birthdays, New Year's Eve and ordinary days here. Agata learned to ski in Palenica, Paweł broke his snowboard in Tatrzańska Łomnica, and Jakub installed the internet so that he could play online games. One day, the children came to their mother's birthday and unexpectedly joined her at the table in Muzyczna Owczarnia, bringing her great joy. A lot has happened over the years - our lives and plans have changed - but emotionally we are all forever connected to this place. Each of us lives in a different place in the world and follows our own paths, but we all meet in Szczawnica – just like a few decades ago.
