The Tuchola Forest is a quiet and less popular cousin of Masuria. It also has lakes, forests (90% of the Tuchola Forest is made up of trees), great kayaking trips and beautiful bike trails. But instead of a Miss School competition, it wins the nautical olympics. Thanks to the fact that the Tuchola Forest never became fashionable, we can enjoy a tourist-free environment, a small number of buildings and unfenced lakes. Just look at our clearing by the forest. We have hidden 3 mini cottages for couples among the trees, and before your eyes there is the dale and meadows. And then pine trees and lakes. The more popular ones are Wygonin and the quietest in the area - Długie.
In the 24 m2 of the cottages, we have packed everything you need to take a break from everyday life, and even more. There is a bedroom on the mezzanine, a sofa, a kitchenette, a bathroom with a shower, air conditioning and a large terrace. And on it a tub. Apart from that, simple pleasures. Coffee on the terrace, hammock, bonfire, deck chairs. You can go mushroom picking, you can go on a bike trip, watch the sunset over the lake. Then an evening in the tub and that's how it goes. Unhurriedly, simply.
P.S. We invite you to the black and yellow house "Foxy" with your dogs, the other two: Anise and Wasabi are anti-allergic.
Near the forest, overlooking a clearing, stand two cottages: Ginger and Foxy. Each cottage sleeps two and has a bathroom with a shower, a kitchenette, two mezzanines with large mattresses, and a living room with a sofa. They have terraces with jacuzzi tubs. The cottages are heated and cooled by air conditioning.
Foxy - Located on the edge of the forest, its terrace overlooks a meadow and an overgrown marshland. The terrace also includes a hot tub. The cottage has two mezzanines with 140 cm wide mattresses. Steep stairs lead to the main mezzanine. The mezzanine is lockable, providing additional privacy. A ladder leads to the second, smaller mezzanine. On the ground floor, there's a living room with a fold-out sofa, which seamlessly connects to the kitchen. There's also a bathroom with a shower. Foxy also has air conditioning with a heating function and underfloor heating.
Ginger - A cottage with a very similar layout. Located on the edge of the forest, its terrace overlooks a meadow. On the terrace is a hot tub with a jacuzzi function. The main sleeping area is located on a mezzanine, while a second, smaller mezzanine is accessible by a ladder. On the ground floor, there's a living room with a fold-out sofa, which is closed by a door for added privacy. The living room connects to a kitchenette. The cottage has a bathroom with a shower. Like Foxy, Ginger has air conditioning with a heating function and electric heating.
In summer, we set up loungers in the meadow, hammocks hang in the forest, and there are areas for a bonfire and barbecues.
You probably don't expect it, but our mini houses have fully equipped and functional kitchenettes.
In our town, just 300 meters from Siedlisko, there is a grocery store where you can stock up on products necessary to prepare meals. Additionally, at the same distance, there is a restaurant that is definitely worth visiting. Karczma pod Klonami serves delicious dishes and is open in the summer season, and off-season it is available on weekends. It is a great place for a tasty meal in a pleasant atmosphere.
If you want to go a little further, we recommend Oberża Konarzyny, located 4 km from Siedlisko, which enjoys a very good reputation among guests.
At a distance of 6 km from Siedlisko, in the town of Stara Kiszewa, you will find all the necessary shops and services, including bakeries, grocery stores (Biedronka, Dino, Limonka), general stores and flower shops. In Stara Kiszewa there are also cafes and restaurants that offer a variety of meals.
There are two options. Either you'll be bored and it'll be wonderful. Or you won't be bored and it'll be just as great! Discover the Tuchola Forest, nap in a hammock, kayak, and swim in the lakes. Here's what you can do at Siedlisko:
- The area around Siedlisko offers picturesque trails perfect for hiking and biking. While exploring, you can discover the beauty of the local nature and enjoy the fresh air.
- Each cottage has its own terrace with a jacuzzi, perfect for relaxing under the stars.
- Each cottage also has its own barbecue or bonfire area.
- Hammocks are strung in the forest behind the cottages.
Attractions in the area:
- Lake Wygonin is a stone's throw from Siedlisko. This is the largest private lake in Poland, covering almost 70 hectares. Wygonin is a popular name. Summer cottages line the shore, there's a sandy beach where kids frolic, and the surrounding forest adds a wild feel. Swimming is highly recommended; you can rent a boat and sail out. This is also a lake that has become legendary among carp anglers. The depths hold such impressive specimens that the angler must exert considerable effort to catch them. The largest fish caught so far weighed 21.4 kg. Carp caught with a rod are said to be both brave and cunning. They're such gems.
- Going the other way, you'll reach Lake Długie, located right next to Lake Krąg. Smaller than Wygonin, but quiet, picturesque, and great for swimming or solving crossword puzzles by the shore. The least popular in the area, it's quiet and slow.
- For sailing, choose Lake Wdzydzkie, also known as the "Kashubian Sea." It's actually not just one lake, but a complex of interconnected reservoirs, approximately 9 km long along an east-west line. There, you can rent a boat and set off on an adventure. From north to south, the lakes stretch for approximately 11 km. If you have a drone, we recommend seeing this paradise from above. Something truly unique.
- In the nearby Dunajek River, there are stables offering horseback riding. This is a perfect opportunity for horse lovers to try their hand at riding, regardless of their skill level.
- Kręgi Kamienne Nature Reserve: Known as the Polish Stonehenge, with a history dating back to 1958.
- If that weren't enough, the surrounding rivers (Wierzyca and Wda) are excellent places for kayaking. We recommend it for entire families. However, the simplest way to spend time here is to immerse yourself in the pine forests, an area perfect for hiking and cycling. Be sure to grab your bikes, baseball caps, and water bottles and hit the road. We'll provide you with analog maps of all the most beautiful trails.
- Kashubian Ethnographic Park: An open-air museum with over 50 examples of folk architecture from across Kashubia and Kociewie. The museum covers 22 hectares on the shores of Lake Gołuń. You can explore cottages, manors, a school, a forge, windmills, churches, inns, farm buildings, and craft workshops on your own, as each farmstead is staffed by an exhibition curator who will tell you all about the important and historical aspects. You can also participate in workshops organized on the Museum grounds: pottery, embroidery, paper flower making, and more.
