    Description

    Hello, my name is Kasia and my husband name is Darek. My mother lives in a separate apartment in the house. We are often visited by children and
    grandchildren.
    We will be pleased to host travelers, nature lovers, adventurers, artists, musicians, couples, singles and families.

    We live in a country house with a garden and orchard, we grow herbs and other beautiful plants. The farm is located by the lake, which gives the possibility of trekking, hiking, canoeing, outdoor exercise and relaxation. Sometimes we make bonfires with sausages or grill. In summer we have a recreational swimming pool.
    For children there is a playground with a trampoline. Outside you will hear beautiful singing birds, various animals, and nearby goats, chickens, foxes and deers.
    We go mushroom picking a lot, I can teach you to recognize different species.
    We often go on sightseeing trips, if you feel like you can go with us.
    We cook together. We will show our kitchen, you will show us yours.

    In the immediate vicinity there is a famous post-German "iron bridge" with narrow-gauge tracks. The route has the largest number of German bridges, each one is unique. The railway is closed so you can take the tracks for a nice trip. There is a monastery from the 11th century in Mogilno, which is a big attraction.

    There is a small dog in the house, a very large dog outside, a hug.

    My love for animals directed my life to cooperation with foundations for the protection of animals.

    We are not vaccinated and we will never be.

    Cultural exchange and learning opportunities

    I can teach you Polish. Information about plants and fungi, their care and health. You can teach us your language and your hobby.

    There is no strict schedule for the day. Sometimes I get up early and sometimes I stay in bed late.
    Before that, your activity depends on you. After breakfast, I like to work. After dinner, how you spend the rest of the day is up to you. I like to go for walks or sit by the fire, but sometimes the situation requires me to work late. We can spend our free time together.
