Wolves howl to the moon, and deer roar in the rut that a reserve of absolute rest has been established in the Drawsko Lakeland. Among the pines at Lake Siecino, Kasia and Mariusz - wolves with passion, lovers of dogs, sails and running - have opened their dream Wilcza Ostoja (Wolf Refuge). They also gave their hearts to Szczwany Lis i Szlachetny Jeleń (Sly Fox and Noble Deer), i.e. Scandinavian houses, which they arranged with great taste and cunning. Each for 4 people with a mezzanine and a terrace. You will not find the noise and hustle and bustle here. Everyday life is filled with peace and quiet, and the houses are made of wood, beautiful fabrics and light. Pay attention to the furniture created by Mariusz and books about wolves.
Glacial lakes scattered around the area, berries and mushrooms hidden in forests, as well as walking and cycling routes allow you to forget about a head full of busy thoughts. Locals deviate from the road towards Wilcza Ostoja in search of silence, the best smoked fish, a pack of wolves, deer, famous drahim honey, adrenaline during off-roading and amazing ornithological experiences. Everything you need is in this place. Only you are missing.
The wolves howl that the Noble Deer and the Cunning Fox are ready to receive guests. We hope that His Deer and our Fox will captivate you.
What can I say - there is no other place like this. Nowhere else will the Fox and Deer fill you with the aura and energy needed for relaxation. No unnecessary glances from the neighbors, no loud sounds of the city and no time that runs like crazy.
With a head full of ideas and a heart full of love for the inhabitants of the forest, we created the younger siblings of the Gray Wolf. We present to you two atmospheric Scandinavian-style houses, whose charm will surely enchant you. The 35m2 4-person interior is warm and cozy, filled with wood and the smell of cones. Their device was inspired by forest animals: foxes and deer. Although their layout is similar, they differ in character. Sly Fox is the exact opposite of Jelenia. White interiors, bright colors, fox motifs and shades of blue. The deer is the king of the forest, so wood is plentiful, and the kitchen is hidden in the treetops. Watch out for the ubiquitous antlers, which are an attribute of his deer.
The interior of the Noble Deer and Sly Fox consists of a fully equipped kitchenette with a small dining area and a living room that create an open living space. The houses also have a cozy bedroom and a mezzanine with two beds and a small but functional bathroom. Of course, there was also a wooden terrace from which you can admire life in the crowns of green pines.
Everyone who visits us will find here many albums and books about wolves and nature, and thanks to the help of the Association for Nature "Wolf", an educational path will be created nearby.
You cannot starve. Each cottage has a fully equipped kitchen with a coffee machine, dishwasher, lake full of fish and barbecue. You can enjoy your breakfast on the terrace and spend long evenings in the dining room with open terrace windows.
The famous drahim honeys are also our local good. In addition to the well-known flavors, such as multiflorous, linden, rapeseed or buckwheat, among them is the king of all honeys: heather, which bees obtain from the largest in Europe heathland Klomina located near Borne Sulinowo. It is a real feast for the senses.
If cooking isn't on your vacation dream list, we recommend some delicious spots nearby and a little further.
There is a place where guests start to clap at the sight of dumplings with meat, a duck cries with emotion, and guests from the Oder river take home buckwheat as a souvenir from their trip. Folwark Karpno is also a farm, so poultry, pork and rabbits are simply organic.
FISH LIKES in Lubieszewo is an exceptionally perfect, even idyllic place. Throughout the year, you can eat fried or stewed trout with garlic butter or fried vendace from Lake Lubie. The smell of smoked eels, trout and whitefish tempts tourists traveling through the countryside.
The inn on Jermak in Drawsko is an interesting mix, you have fishy flavors and eastern influences. The chef from Nepal delights with the flavors of oriental cuisine and more.
You can be bored, sleep until noon, paddle and pedal, swim, walk and explore. We have such luxuries in this Lake District.
Drawskie Lakeland is a pearl in the crown of Polish geographical regions. The combination of enchanting nature with historic cultural heritage is an ideal starting point for any kind of vacation. There will be plenty of attractions for both nature lovers and amateurs of active recreation. The magic of the Drawskie Lakeland lies in the post-glacial lakes scattered all over the area. We especially fell in love with Lake Siecino, where the Wolf's Ostoja is located. It is crystal clear and transparent and you can drink the water without boiling it.
The local network of interconnected rivers is a true kayaker's paradise. One of them (Drawa), with its beauty and wild nature, was charmed by Pope John Paul II, whose name has been called the current of its waters since 2005. Drawa rowing means tiredness, but also satisfaction, contemplation of nature and, above all, a wonderful time.
When planning a holiday in Wilcza Ostoja, it is worth packing bikes or renting equipment on site. Beautiful views, long routes, undisturbed peace of meadows and finding lakes hidden among forests are ideal conditions for cyclists. Our areas are covered with a dense network of bicycle routes that lead through the most picturesque areas.
Of course, active recreation is not only about bicycles.
As avid sailors, we can praise the Drawskie Lakeland to heaven, because it is a paradise for sea wolves, anglers and scuba divers. There is a zone of silence on the lakes located in the Drawski Landscape Park, so you can try meditation. This land of forests and lakes also has a lot to offer mushroom pickers and horse riding enthusiasts. Nobody will complain about boredom here.
We highly recommend in the area:
- Jelenino, the largest deer farm in Poland, which is located in Jeleniewo near Ostrowice,
hiking along forest trails,
- bicycle, canoe and hiking routes,
- picking mushrooms, raspberries and blueberries,
- the possibility of purchasing regional products (honey, preserves, tinctures),
- extremely picturesque photo holes,
- "Poland Trophy" competition taking place on the Drawski field,
- horse riding outdoors,
- winter period: sleds, cross-country skis, sleigh rides.
What’s there for children?
Peace and quiet, the smell of the forest, mushrooms, birds singing and insects chirping. Children respect this silence and dance with wolves, look for foxes between trees and antlers of branches, drink lake water (you can really drink it!), Play with Indians and cowboys and run without shoes. We hear that you can rest even if there are two preschoolers in the house. They discover what a holiday is without animation, a swimming pool and a playroom. They have a piece of the forest to know, pine cones, hares, beetles and rowing with their parents. Parents turn their heads and rest in full swing. During the rain, children learn about wolf stories hidden in interesting books and watch the world from the ceiling on the mezzanine.
