Holiday home for max. 9 persons
Szklarska Poreba, Giant Mountains of Poland, (Szklarska Poręba-Schreiberhau), Poland

Three chalets on a property with a guesthouse, a playground and a wellness area by the stream, ideal in winter and in summer


The property is in the most beautiful district of Szklarska Poreba - Biała Dolina – at 715 metres above sea level, where snow lies until the late winter and where the legend of the mountain spirit emerged about a thousand years ago. It is about a 15-minute walk from the town centre.

The property comprises three holiday chalets with a terrace, which were built in 2016. Owing to the Scandinavian building style and the building materials, they provide good insulation. Parking on site is free. For sportspeople there is a room for drying clothes and equipment, free of charge. Wireless Internet access is available free of charge. Each chalet has a semi-automatic fireplace fire with bio-pellets (5kg provided), for cold days. You only need to press a button for a warm fire.

A rapid stream with clear mountain water flows all around the house. You can catch trout in it and cool off in its waters in the summer. The water in the stream is really cool, however. In front of the house there is quite a large site with a campfire for cooking sausages or soup in a pot. Specialities include sourdough soup or pea soup. There is a playground for children with two slides, Wendy houses and three swings.

You can relax in the hot Banja larch tub, both in summer and in winter. The Russian Banja is also called a (garden) washtub, a Japanese sauna and a Norwegian sauna. The therapeutic principle is the same as a sauna. The body is cooled quickly in the water and circulation is stimulated. The advantage of the Russian Banja, compared to the traditional sauna, is that you can stay in it up to 3 ours, at an ideal temperature of 39 degrees. Those who would like to relax can use the sauna and then cool off in the cold shower or the tub with cold water. Such a treatment has a beneficial effect on the skin and well-being. The guesthouse also has a sauna and a volleyball court. There will soon be a 20 x 15m pool.

You can also order breakfast, which is served in the form of a buffet in the guesthouse. Everyone, including vegetarians, will find their favourite dishes here. The breakfast times can be agreed, both for those who like to be on the pistes at dawn and for those who would like a lie-in.

Right by the asphalted road there is a car park for a large number of cars. The access to the properties can be difficult in winter in heavy snow. Please contact the owners before arrival and enquire about the best route.
