There are a few things you should know about Roztocze. This is the land between the middle Vistula and the Bug. The one where you cycle exceptionally, and the one with the border between Eastern and Western Europe. First of all: it is the most "wooden" region of Poland. You can still see hundreds of villages with traditional buildings, there are also single thatched cottages. Secondly: the air here is as transparent as the water in Wieprz, Tanewia and Lada combined, and the grapes are turned into fine wine.
Right here, on two morgens in Roztocze, there is a small clay house for 4 adults and 2 children, and nothing is happening there. Sometimes mushrooms dry on a hot stove in autumn, a neighbour drives a tractor outside the window, the host brings eggs from happy hens, and the kids chase away a herd of geese. The obligatory thing to do is to cut yourself off from reality, which will be facilitated by the lack of television and wifi and a cellular network that sometimes is lost in the field. If you're looking for absolute silence, a terrace overlooking the meadows and freedom, pack your bags.
We will tell you how not to get lost in Piekiełek, where to eat a delicious trout and drink local beer, and where waterfalls fall. In Roztocze, you can still enjoy a wonderful break.
In an idyllic house made of clay and straw in Roztocze. It is ecological, healthy and extremely cozy. For 4 adults or 4 adults plus 2 children. In total 4, max 6 people. The ground floor is a 30 m2 space with a bathroom with shower, a kitchenette and a seating area. There is a large terrace window letting in the sun and stars, a sofa, an armchair, a bench, a goat that warms well and a dining area, i.e. a table with 4 chairs. Everything is made of natural materials and in earth tones. We do not want to interfere with the surrounding nature, so the house is an integral part of Roztocze. Up the stairs to heaven, you will enter the 30m2 floor. It is there that an atmospheric bedroom with a large bed and armchairs is located. One of the walls is lined with a wooden owl mosaic, and the sheets on the bed look like a mound of hay. The first floor opens onto a large terrace where you can eat a meal at a table or sit on comfortable seats.
The house is built in strawbale technology, so it is ecological, healthy and warm. The interior design is also consistent with the idea of natural building. We combined upcycling with a hint of DIY. Recycled accessories, a sink made of a brass bowl and found with flush glass. I even designed the length of one of the walls for 3 cabinets that we sold (a bit of a reversal of furniture thinking to size). We made the shower and sink ourselves from tadelakt. A large part of the wooden elements is also recycled wood. Instead of throwing it away, we repaired and this is how we arranged the house in a simple and cozy way.
When it comes to the achievements of civilization, there is light and a stove. That's basically it.
We are very flexible in terms of arrival and departure times. If there are no other guests after you, it all depends on your needs. You can sleep longer and leave even in the late afternoon.
Dogs are welcome with us, but please do not let pets on beds and sofas. Watch your pets because the area is not fenced.
A small clay house 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, a large goat for drying mushrooms and baking fish, serving utensils, a fireplace and a large terrace for outdoor breakfasts. 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. In a year or two, we plan to offer you our own grape wines and raspberry and blackcurrant liquors.
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.
Walks, bikes, kayaks, mushrooms. Roztocze offers so many attractions that you can stay here for a long time and get to know National Parks, Forests, villages with wooden buildings and numerous roadside shrines. But in fact, Two Morgi is a place for doing nothing and calm down. Sometimes a neighbor will run over with a tractor or a dog will chase away the geese. Quiet, nothing happens...
When you get bored with a fiery goat, get to know the whole area on foot, 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 here, 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 in the summer.
- Church on the Water.
- Plenipotent's 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 moviegoers and those who like good movies.
In July, Gorajec hosts one of the most interesting folk festivals in Europe - Folkowisko. It's 40 minutes from the Miners.
Cieszanów Rock Festival is held in Cieszanów (about 40 minutes away).
Ponds Echo - 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 Wieprz River, as many as 2 mills have been preserved, as if straight from Iwaszkiewicz's stories. One, along with the entire mill farm, has been restored and looks sensational, especially its undershot wheel, today an absolute rarity. It is a pity that the stone building of the village bathhouse from 1928 is decaying right next to it - maybe even more of a rarity.
Hell on the Stone Hill - according to the legend, the devil decided to bet with one of the local peasants that he would build a hell on the hill in one night. If he could do so, then the peasant would give his soul to him. Hell was almost over, but as the devil carried the last boulder, the rooster crowed, announcing the dawn. The rocks left on the hill are therefore the remains of the devil's building.
Within 16 km:
- Ostoja Konik Polski and his farm in the stables of the farm in Florianka (14 km).
- Ski slope Jacnia (16km).
At a distance of 28 km:
- The Capital of Polish Language Festival in Szczebrzeszyn - an event where both the author and the reader get their feet wet in the same river. We highly recommend going to this festival of literature.
At a distance of 50 km - the Tanew River:
- Canoeing.
- Noises (cascades) on the Tanew.
What does Roztocze have to do with Flintstones? Maybe it's that Fred Flinston worked in a quarry, which we have quite a lot in Roztocze. Although there are few monadnocks here, the numerous quarries are certainly worth visiting. The leaders here are Józefów, Krasnobród, Nowiny and Bruśno.
What’s there for children?
The kids have two acres of fields to show off here, which is a real holiday in the countryside. They look for wind in the field, chase away geese, ape mooing cows and persuade their neighbors to help on the farm. We have a large house for children with a wooden kitchen and sandbox.
For the convenience of parents and toddlers, we have two fold-out cots, a feeding chair, a bathtub and toys on site.
For the slightly older ones, there are a few board games, and of course looking for a needle in the hay sheets.
