Description
19 HJ. 25. That's the inscription you'll see on the brick walls of the stable adjacent to our house. This means that it was built in 1925 by someone with the initials HJ, and we are getting closer to discovering his identity. All indications are that his name was Hermann Janzen. They say he was a Mennonite and was exiled to Siberia. The fact that we don't know anything for sure further excites our imagination. The canal-crossed plains, overgrown with willows, are full of stories of the descendants of settlers who came here in the 17th century from the Netherlands and Friesland. In turn, we are filled with curiosity for the charming towns and villages here, delightful in their architecture and culture. We have breathed new life into the canal-side habitat with an old orchard, but in such a way that no one forgets that we are located in a Zulawy village. It's idyllic, rustic and sympathetic to the past history of the place. Two apartments in the house and one in the stable invite groups who dream of a break from the city. We welcome family, friends or newcomers, as we are an excellent choice for yoga or creative workshops. Cyclists have special favors with us, and, as you might guess, the love of bicycles gave our place its name. Rides through the Dutch-like plains of Zulawy will turn your idea of a bicycle vacation upside down.
