In the times when Karpacz was called Krummhübel, the health resort of Alexandrinenbad was located at the foot of the Karpatka Mountain. Healing water and uplifting herbs attracted elegant ladies and wealthy men. Even the German star of poetic realism, Theodor Fontane, spent his holidays here. In the 1920s, Krummhübel was in bloom and the waterfall on the Lomnica Dam attracted tourists. In the summer they listened to music in the band shell built by the water, in the winter they went ice skating and competed on the bobsleigh track built right next to it. The average stay of tourists in Karpacz was three weeks. High life of the Weimar Republic.
History writes various scenarios, and one of them leads to this house, which is no longer a health resort, but you can still relax and breathe deeply there. He ended up in good hands - first my grandmother's, then mine, and he survived unscathed. Thanks to my passion for interior design, the house boasts an elegant appearance and historical setting. An old German tiled stove stands next to a modern sofa, each bedroom has its own avant-garde fireplace, and the windows in the living room know the history of Alexandrinenbad inside out.
You couldn't imagine a better location. The house is located among the trees at the foot of the Karpatka River on the Łomnica River. While resting in the garden, you can hear the sound of a waterfall, the splash of a river, birds singing and your own thoughts. We invite you to a house that enchants with history, delights with design and provides intimate closeness to nature.

- A trip to Śnieżka, which is worth starting from the parking lot located at Głosów Górskich Street in Karpacz. From here, follow the green trail which will lead to Wang Church. You will stop here for a while, because this unique building was built without the use of metal nails.

- The Karkonosze Mountains are a paradise for hiking enthusiasts. There are many tourist trails in their area that allow you to safely and attractively explore this beautiful land.
What’s there for children?
For children, there is, above all, the garden and the surrounding forests and hills, which unleash wild nature and crazy ideas in them. They soak their hands in the river, collect stones and build towers out of them, choose the prettiest pine cones from under the trees, make snowmen and ride on a sled. After a whole day of frolicking, it's worth warming your cold feet and drying your wet clothes by the fireplace. This is when the books and board games available at home come into play.
For parents' convenience: highchairs, a baby cot and a sled.
There are plenty of attractions in the area that will provide children with unforgettable holiday memories.
