Description
We left the city to live in one of the wildest places in Poland - the heart of Insko Landscape Park (Inski Park Krajobrazowy). We do not have human neighbours - our neighbours are foxes, deers, boars, wisents, wolfs and lynxes that live in the surounding forests.
This place is full of earth power - people say that it can heal the soul.
We are a couple who after many years of travels and living in a big city, found their happiness surounded by birds and trees :)
We prepare this place to help people find their peace of mind and disconnect from civilization and daily problems.
Our place is a home to horses (Hevra and Hassan) and cats (Oshi and Dzika).
If you look for a place to connect with the nature, stay away from a big city life and find your peace of mind - this is a place for you. You can bike around the wild forest for hours, swim in a lake (1.5km away), pick mushrooms in autumn and watch the stars when sitting at a camping fire. We have a phone connection here but the internet is weak and disconnects from time to time. The closest shop and restaurant are 9km away and a closest bar 30km away ;)
We speak Polish, Russian and a little bit English and French (but we try our best).

Cultural exchange and learning opportunities
You can find here the peace of mind and disconnect. You can enjoy the nature, watch the wild animals visiting from time to time and the beatiful night skies (no light polution) and sunrises and sunsets.
You can hear all the animal sounds - frogs, cranes, deers, owls - changing every season.
You can use all the facilities: sport/yoga room with mirrors, ping-pong table, camping fire with sitting, rain protected area, fully equipped kitchen.
Andrzej: I travelled my whole life through the wildest places in the world by kayak, bicycle, raft, horse (New Guinea, Siberia, Patagonia, Congo and many many more). I organized guided tours to Altay and Kamchatka as well as survival trainings in Poland. I feel very connected with nature and I am learning from it all the time.
Ewa: My big love are plants - especially herbs and their use. I am learning about their influence on health, cooking and cosmetics for years and this is a life-long journey. In the last years I am creating a permaculture farm and using the area to grow ecological products and use them for cooking.
