There is a region in Poland that nobody dares to say a bad word about. I am talking about Roztocze, whose book of complaints is empty. Maybe because it accumulates all the best features of a place where you want to escape to, take care of yourself, listen to what the waterfalls buzz about and taste homemade wine. Probably due to the fact that vitamin D is produced in a doubled dose, and at the same time the night sky over Roztocze is as black as ink.

In this wilderness, beyond the village of Górniki Nowe, we found our land and planted an experimental vineyard. We, i.e. Zofia and Jacek - Mateusz's parents, built his clay house 2 kilometres away. Love comes from people, so we, with the help of the family, have built a wooden cottage for ourselves, our relatives and for you. We personally know that the slower you lie here, the longer the vacation lasts, the telescope provides the best entertainment, and the lack of internet and cellular coverage is the greatest relief.

Here doing nothing is doing something very valuable for yourself. Come for absolute peace, the celebration of slow-motion mode, the smell of the harvest, afternoons in a kayak and mushrooms in a basket. We will advise you where to eat and we will throw in eggs from happy chickens.

Near a young experimental vineyard, among the fields of Roztocze, on several acres of land. The whole family was involved in the construction of the cottage, because in teamwork we have at least a bachelor's degree. We built it for ourselves - Jacek and Zofia, but we cannot always spend time here, so we will gladly make it available to those who want a break from concrete reality.

The house is wooden, on a stone foundation (which was bravely made by Gosia and Agnieszka - our daughter-in-law), covered with an old ceramic tile. Taking care to take part of our previous life with us, we installed the first windows from our family house. The house is built of natural materials. It is located behind the village, invisible from the road. The interior has been decorated with ecological or second-hand materials. After all, nothing can be wasted.

The cottage is designed for 4 people (max 5 or 6) and consists of:
- downstairs - a living room with a sofa bed and a goat connected to the kitchen, bathroom,
- a large, open space in the attic, i.e. a bedroom with a double bed,

There are also radio, board games, and books at your disposal. On the terraces: armchairs, hammock, swings, grill. There is a sandpit in the yard.

Dogs are welcome with us, but please do not let pets on beds and sofas. Watch your pets because the area is not fenced.

The cottage has everything, and even a little more, to create savory dishes, or simple and rural, depending on your needs and preferences. There is a fully equipped kitchen with an electric cooker, kettle, fridge, toaster and pots, a large goat for drying mushrooms and baking fish, serving utensils, a fireplace, barbecue and breakfast terrace overlooking the grain. Within a radius of 10 km from the house you can buy cheese, bread, honey, preserves (mushrooms, fruit). We will guide you what, where and how. We can also order eggs for you, we will tell you where the chanterelles grow and breakfast and dinner are ready.

If the kitchen is not your kingdom or you just want to take a vacation from standing by the pots, we have some proven places for you:

About 7 km away in Bondyrz there is a delicious Italian pizza - La Majella.

We cannot forget about the wonderful Fisherman's Cottage in Bondyrz, next to the Roztoczański Trout breeding farm. The menu is rich in home-quality dishes made of smoked, fried and baked rainbow trout. It is undoubtedly the best Roztocze trout in the world. Confirmed info. Our favorite is smoked, warmed up in a goat house or bought raw and baked in foil on a goat.

Zagroda Guciów in Zwierzyniec - homemade dinner and regional products.

Zwierzogródek in Zwierzyniec - pampered, slow food burgers with great ingredients.

An active recipe for Roztocze includes walks, bicycles, canoes and mushrooms. For those who love to spend their free time on the move, there are 1000 km of hiking and biking trails as well as canoeing trips. And for those who appreciate beautiful views and like to discover the history of the places visited, there are wooden architectural treasures and chapels famous for their miracles.

But it's really a place to do nothing and calm down. Sometimes a neighbor will pass by a tractor or the August star will fall from the sky. Silence, nothing is happening.

When you get bored by the fire goat, you get to know the whole area for a walk, read all the books and light a fire to the sky, we recommend getting to know the area.

Winter madness in the Lublin region is only in Roztocze. Sleigh rides, cross-country skiing and 2 slopes, one 3 km, the other 7 km from us.

In Zwierzyniec:
- Canoeing trips are a must-see in the summer.
- Church on the Water.
- Plenipotent Palace.
- Zwierzyniec Brewery - in May, June and September you can visit the brewery from Friday to Sunday. In the months of July and August, sightseeing is possible from Wednesday to Sunday.
- Summer Film Academy. It is a cultural feast for cinema fans and those who like good movies.

In July, one of the most interesting folk festivals in Europe - Folkowisko - takes place in Gorajec. It's 40 minutes from the Miners.

The Cieszanów Rock Festival takes place in Cieszanów (about 40 minutes away).

Echo Ponds - a complex of four ponds, located in the Roztocze National Park, is an ideal place for swimming.

- Bondyrz (16 km), a village of 2 mills. In the inconspicuous village of Bondyrz on the Vistula River, there are as many as two mills, as if straight from the stories told by Iwaszkiewicz. One, along with the entire milling farm, has been restored and looks amazing, especially its undershoot, which is now an absolute rarity. It is a pity that a stone building of a village bathhouse from 1928 is decaying right next to it - perhaps even more rare.

Piekiełko na Wzgórzu Kamień - according to the legend, the devil decided to bet with one of the local peasants that he would build a hell on the hill overnight. If he could do so, then the peasant would give him his soul. Hell was almost finished, but as the devil carried the last boulder, the hens crowed, announcing dawn. The rocks left on the hill are therefore the remains of the devil's building.

Within a distance of 16 km:
- Refuge of Konik Polski and its breeding in the stables of the farm in Florianka (14 km).
- Jacnia ski slope (16 km).

Within 28 km:
- The Capital of Polish Language Festival in Szczebrzeszyn - an event during which both the author and the reader soak their feet in the same river. We highly recommend going on this literary festival.

What does Roztocze have to do with the Flintstones? Maybe Fred Flinston worked in a quarry, of which we have quite a lot in Roztocze. Although there are few inselbergs here, numerous quarries are definitely worth visiting. Józefów, Krasnobród, Nowiny and Bruśno are the leaders here.

Please note, this is a TV-free zone. Despite this, we did not notice any childish boredom. There is a lot of scope for adventure, i.e. a real holiday in the countryside. The kids look for the wind in the ears of grain, observe the moon up close, imitate the mooing of cows and fly kites. We have board games and books, a rocking chair and a hammock, and there is also a sandbox.

For the comfort of parents and children, we have a cot and a bathtub.
