On a small gravel road on the edge of two Masurian villages, trees reflect on the surface of Buwełno Lake, dragonflies are the size of helicopters, and there are houses for those who respect tradition and value modern minimalism. On a bench, just like a few generations ago, contemplators of the present moment sit sipping local beer and talking about life. Above the stove, mushrooms dry on strings, mornings start with a bicycle trip to the shop, and evenings end on the bridge to the accompaniment of crickets and the clap of cranes.
The concept for Ublik was nature, simplicity, minimalism, design. Without plastic and excessive colours. It was our way of protesting against fences and intrusive interference in space. That is why the grass is a bit wild, not evenly cut, in some places a meadow as it was before we came here, a sea of flowers, a few weeds.
The small, black cottage overlooking the moraine hills and the lake will comfortably accommodate 4 people. Here, rest is a different kind of being active: swimming, fishing at sunrise, rafting along the trail of lakes on hot days, cycling trips along the Masurian wilderness. We put at your disposal a private pier, canoes, a boat and bicycles. Silence around, no neighbours, uncluttered space and wonderful views. For the weekend, for holidays, in the low season.
PS Ublik Green & Black is part of Ublik Green & Wind, on the opposite side of the gravel road. The black cottage stands all by itself, in the middle of green meadows, on a hill - for nature lovers and retreat lovers, it is just perfect.
In a black cottage with a bright interior for 4 people. The area is about 55 m2 with a mezzanine at an angle. The house is located on a Masurian meadow by a dirt road, so you don't have to worry about a lot of traffic, or even a small one. Sometimes a stork will fly by, sometimes a crane, sometimes a cyclist will get lost here, and by car it is mainly vacationers from the other 3 block houses. These are the neighbors. A lake, a meadow, fireflies, lizards warming in the sun, snails after the rain.
We give the house to your caring hands and we hope that you will be comfortable, beautiful, relaxing and with a long perspective here.
On the ground floor, waiting for you:
- a living room with a goat and a large window (view of the moraine hills and Lake Buwełno), open kitchen,
- a separate bedroom (wide bed 180 cm),
- bathroom with shower.
On the mezzanine:
- 1 giant bed - (200x200 cm).
We didn't want to cut ourselves off from nature, so the house is fenced. Here it is as it is and as it has always been - moraine hills covered with grass, trees by the lake. We have not interfered with almost perfect nature. We only planted traditional fruit trees, often found in old Masurian habitats, and roses and hydrangeas typical of Masurian gardens.
Ublik Green & amp; Black is part of Ublik Green & amp; Elevator that is on the other side of the gravel road. It stands on a hill, in a clearing, nearby there are two Ublik Green Polana houses, but all of them are far away from each other, they do not parade each other and do not interfere with the views.
At your disposal is a kitchenette with an electric stove (2 burners), a dishwasher, a small under-counter fridge, a coffee machine, a kettle, pots and dishes. If cooking is the last thing you think about during your holidays, we will recommend places that we know and often visit ourselves. We can recommend local products from our village.
- on the other side of the lake in the village of Przykop you will find one of our favorite restaurants - the "Stara Kuźnia" inn. This is a place where when you come for dinner, you leave after dessert. Waiters are not feeders, but people of flesh and blood who do not forget about the customer. Everything from the method of serving to the precise execution impresses.
- On the Great Masurian Lakes Trail in Rydzewo there is the Black Swan Inn. It is an interesting combination of a restaurant and a museum, where among old fishing nets you will be able to enjoy chanterelle soup, excellent vendace, sweet caramelized ribs, pork chop in mushroom sauce with caramel dumplings.
- Barka in Prażmów is a pub awarded by Gault Milleau, which from a distance gives the impression of an abandoned barge, which rust has treated with the tooth of time. There you will find a combination of Polish and Asian cuisine, foie gras with elderberry, octopus carpaccio, zander in mango-chilli sauce, crab ravioli in lemon butter and several other items.
And many others!
Ublik is a place on earth where doing nothing is on the top of the charts. When you win the battle with sleep early enough, you will be greeted on the pier by an unusual game of lights and colors taking place during sunrise. Claude Monet himself would have delighted in such an impression. Later, it's time for a bike trip around the lakes, along small asphalt, gravel and field roads - discovering unspoilt, tourist and historical places.
We have bikes available for you already in the price, so you can start planning your routes. You can also use other bicycles and equipment located in Ublik Green. We will be happy to recommend routes suitable for any fitness level. Not far from here, about 8.5 km, to the great climatic restaurant Stara Kuźnia, the port in Rydzewo, Śniardwy and further to Mikołajki.
The golden hour in Ublik is a time of exceptional, sunny illuminations. Then it's worth finding a quiet haven. Drown your eyes in the glowing sun reflecting in the surface and the meadow shimmering with warm colors. Let your thoughts run into space, sipping wine and relaxing fully. You can also lie on a private beach and contemplate on your own pier. Bathe alone in the lake, kayak on the long Buwełno Lake and row a boat. We also have for you in Ublik:
- 4 kayaks,
- a rowing boat.
By the lake we have prepared a place for a bonfire and a grill. Under the starry sky with best friends in silence and bliss. It could not be better.
Calm the sea dogs - in many places you can rent cabin and non-cabin sailboats. You will find the most opportunities to catch the wind in your sails in the nearby Mikołajki and Giżycko.
We praise bloodless hunting and hunting with binoculars, which is why we recommend the Nietlickie Marshes, which is an ideal place for lovers of birds and nature. To observe game: deer, elk, wild boars, foxes, we recommend the surrounding forests and the Piska Forest.
The immediate vicinity delights with wild areas, and hiking is the best way to discover moraine hills, forests, meadows and lakes. Nearby is the Natura 2000 area and the Nietlickie Bagna reserve - the largest and the only well-preserved peat bog in the Masurian Lake District. It is also worth going for walks in the surrounding villages, i.e. Cierzpiety, Paprotki, Przykop. Through meadows, wilderness, fields, forests and lakes Buwełno, Wojnowskie, Ublik Mały and Ublik Wielki.
For fans of holidays in the saddle, we recommend our favorite Ferenstein Stud in Gałków. It is professional, from scratch, for advanced, small and large. You can experience a gallop across the river, a trot through the meadows and a gallop in the paddock.
What’s there for children?
For kids, fun till the end, fun, a lesson in freedom and freedom. Toddlers watch butterflies leg through a magnifying glass, look for crickets in the tall grass and race to the lake shore. Keep an eye on the little ones, because the paved area is not fenced and the space around is unlimited. So they can run off somewhere unnoticed. Children learn to play in nature, get to know classic games and bury secrets by securing them with slides. They build sandcastles on the very shore and form a harmonious crew with dad - the captain, sailing the boat to the other side of the lake. In the evening they fall asleep with a smile on their lips, and in the rain they read books from cover to cover, arrange cities from blocks and huge garages made of Lego.
We have prepared for your convenience
- a food seat,
- a cot,
- bicycle seat.
What’s there for employees?
Perfect place for two working people. In the kitchen, lie down at the table or on the terrace overlooking the fields. After a short walk during a break from work, lie down in a hammock by the lake. You can here without haste, without tourists and an overwhelming number of attractions, just relax in nature.
