We have a cheerful team of forest people, a really old building where soldiers speaking different languages have been stationed since 1930, and around forests, mountains and rivers. We go to the city only when it's a real necessity, and somehow we have more fun walking in the mountains and having casual conversations with guests.
Everything is old here, with legend and atmosphere. We stopped by right after the soldiers moved out. We have restored it and got rid of the military spirit by making our own beer. Instead of a rifle, we have books, we prefer climbing to field exercises, and we invite families with kids here. We invite you to Zieleniec, where there is a climate for many things, and we know exactly what for.
The army had been stationed here for almost a hundred years, because the building served as a watchtower for border guards. Since the soldiers left - we are warming this place. All apartments and rooms have either their own kitchenettes or easy access to a shared dining room with kitchenette). You can book stays from 1-7 days with us). We spend time together in the dining room, children in the living room, read in the library, play in the games room, and drink wine in the fireplace room.

What are we proud of?
- from our two terraces (on the lower one, with a view of the Larch, morning coffee tastes delicious, on the new one, at the Black Hut, we want to organize evening dances
- from the renovated Black Hut in the garden, which was a horse stable before the war, then the army kept snowmobiles in it, and now it is an ideal additional space for workshops, meetings in a closed group, and in the attic, when it rains, yoga is good: )
- from our secret place - Forest Strumyków, we have trod the path to it ourselves and on hot days, kids can safely wade in shallow but wide spilled streams, build dams, make mud compresses for each other and exercise balance in walking on the footbridge :)
- we also have a grill, in case someone would prefer grill to fire
We are in love with pretty objects and that is why we asked the Berlin illustrator Nadia Linek to create a Forest Zoodaki collection especially for us. Leśne Zoodaki are Popielica Zosia, Jeż Kazimierz, Bóbr Bronek, Dzik Tadzik and Borsuk Stefan. We put them on T-shirts, toby and mugs and everyone can take their favorite pet home with them.
And Zoodaki have also become patrons of our 4 attic apartments.
We do not cook for guests, but each of our apartments is equipped with its own kitchenette with a fridge, electric kettle, microwave oven, a set of dishes and cutlery. We have equipped the apartments with kitchenettes for families with young children - mothers with allergies appreciate it very much.
We do not have an induction hob in the two smallest apartments, but for guests using these apartments and for guests who live in rooms, we have prepared an additional kitchen and dining room in the Watchtower Basement. It is equipped with a gas cooker with an oven, microwave oven, dishwasher, refrigerator, coffee machine, electric kettle, dishes, pots and cutlery.
In the winter season, there are many bars in Zieleniec, and skiers willingly use them. In the summer, when the Orlickie and Bystrzyckie Mountains are empty, the offer is smaller, but there are several good places to choose from. Our guests usually prepare breakfast and dinner with us, and eat their lunch somewhere while sightseeing.
If you come to Zieleniec, you probably already know the answer.
In summer:
- we ride bicycles, because the area is a paradise for road and mountain cyclists. Sometimes flat, sometimes up, luckily sometimes also down... and a whole lot of newly created singletracks :)
- we wander around the Orlickie, Bystrzyckie and Stołowe Mountains, we breathe, stare and relax with the views
- we visit Torfowisko pod Zieleniec, a unique nature reserve with 8000 years of history. It resembles the Siberian taiga. Supposedly...
- we sail on a pontoon on the Nysa Kłodzka, using the waterside hostels in Bardo.
- we visit the towns of the Kłodzko Valley and visit castles, palaces and adits
- we wander among Errant Rocks, Rock Mushrooms and climb Szczeliniec Wielki
- we practice rock climbing on the nearby walls of Szczytnik
- we admire the Wild Eagle Valley, the beautiful church in Neratov and the giant rope park in the Czech Rziczki
- we eat Drwala's Omelet or Chatara's Chop in the Jagodzice Shelter in the Bystrzyckie Mountains
- we drink mineral water during the Chopin Festival in Duszniki Zdrój
- we visit the beautiful Japanese Garden in Jarków and buy chokeberry specialties, which Jarków is also famous for
- we wander around the forest picking mushrooms, blueberries and wild strawberries
- we drop by the Masarykowa Chata Shelter for pancakes with blueberries
- sometimes, when we get carried away by our imagination, we play discgolf or ride a horse in western style
- we visit the old fortresses in Kłodzko and Srebrna Góra, we penetrate the Forts of Charles, William and Frederick
- we visit the Gold Mine in Lądek Zdrój
- we lie a lot on the grass, deckchairs and hammocks
- we read, although we also like to play board games in the library
- in the evenings we sing and play by the fire
- in the morning we practice yoga in the garden or in the attic of Czarna Chatka
Winter
- Zieleniec has an alpine microclimate. Red blood cells are buzzing, they pull a man out of melancholy in a few hours, and children from catarrh just as quickly.
- It also has the Zieleniec Ski Arena Station, with almost 30 lifts, services such as heated couches, it's almost like in Aspen. Plus, there's always snow!
- Running shoes! Prepared routes for beginners and advanced.
- Forest Garden - here we burn winter bonfires, organize snowball fights and make giant snowmen.
Always
- We look into the Czech Republic, eat fried cheese, lentylk, utopenca, washing it all down with kofola! We are constantly looking for new Czech beers that we like the most in the world
- We unravel the mysteries of history. Apparently, the plane wreck found in the forests of Zieleniec is the one in which Hans Frank escaped from Festung Breslau. Worth careful checking.
- The bog near Zieleniec is extremely deep. There are voices that this is where the Amber Room is located...
At location
- we relax in the garden, swing on hammocks, play net and look at the children
- inside we hang out in the library and the fireplace room, we play board games and table football
- we cook, bake, cut and laugh together
- we do not worry about our children's dirty clothes - using a communal washing machine and dryer in the evening
- we are delighted with the fact that no one goes over anyone's head and everyone can find their own corner in Watchtower or in the garden
- we savor the silence, the proximity of the forest and the singing of birds
- we recharge the batteries before returning to the city
What’s there for children?
We love kids of all ages, we are parents ourselves, that's why we think about families in a special way.
- we provide a travel cot, baby bath, high chair and electronic nanny free of charge.
- you can use the washing machine free of charge
- babies sleeping in the room with their parents or in their own bed and not requiring bedding can leave their savings for something else (they are free with us)
- we have additional bedding for babies - we provide it for free.
Of course, children don't care about it, so information for them: we have a playground inside and out, and parents in our climate are extremely relaxed. And the thing we are really proud of is our little Bullerbyn - 3 colorful houses for young children (they love to play in them) and creative workshops for children. In winter, kids make snowmen and igloos in the garden, they also use our hills and slide down the "claws" hill. And they breathe clean air all the time!
Come on over!
