    We moved to Podlodówek, 21-0=140 Michów.
    How to get here?
    Take a bus from Lublin, direction to Michów. The bus goes from central station, close to old city in Lublin and is going through Lubartów city. Sometimes is better to take a bus just to Lubartów and than try to catch the bus to Podlodówek village. But ask the driver if he goes to Michów first.
    If you are travelling by car, please ask us for details.
