Dom w Gajówce

Hey there beyond the seven forests, six mountains and five rivers! You are greeted by Emilia, Tymek, Nela and Alexander - ETNA for short. This Italian volcano characterizes our family quite well, and that is why we are not suitable for All Inclusive hotels - at the very thought we start to smoke and bubble. We value peace and quiet away from crowded boardwalks, cotton candy and stalls with ciupagi. Every time we spend time in the Grove, our behavior changes. We slow down, listen to nature, gaze at the fire and the sky full of stars. Transformed into a home: wood, stone and brick, they have protected successive generations for 300 years. It is here in the part of Lower Silesia, at the meeting point of three countries, that you will find the largest number of similar half-timbered houses. Visiting the area you will see them in different corners, some beautifully restored, others covered with plaster and Styrofoam, and some dilapidated.... buried by time. As soon as you cross the threshold, you'll get a sense of what a unique home you've found yourself in. You will see and touch history from the inside. You'll appreciate the carpenters' work, intricate in its simplicity. The arched vaults thick barrels, touching cellar and bread oven will transport you to another dimension. Here you will feel the days when there was no electricity, no water, no cars, and no store in the area. Relaxing in front of the house, you don't know whether to look at the mountains or the house ...as if from another dimension. The view from the courtyard changes with each time of day. Trees swaying in the wind, cranes circling, deer approaching and sunsets that draw colors in the sky like the aurora borealis. It's better than a TV, which you won't find here. I recommend this place on Earth to all lovers of blissful relaxation, hiking, cycling, motorcyclists and children who can't peel their noses off the screen. The house chose us as its new caretakers in 2017. The renovation took over three years and was a beautiful adventure. The joy of working at the grassroots, the vision and satisfaction that came with the renovation pushed us forward like a bulldozer. Today we are bursting with happiness and pride that we accomplished this. The days when we spend time here with our friends are the most beautiful reward. A dream come true. Maybe you'll think I'm a weirdo, but I feel that this house is alive, enjoying the company, the laughter, the bustle of discussions and games. Alone for so many years, today it enjoys the presence of every visitor. I think you will also feel this bond. You are welcome! P.S.. We live in Wroclaw on a daily basis. The wife is rational and balanced, and I in hot water company with a hundred ideas to implement. By education I am a physiotherapist and a Nordic walking instructor..who knows, maybe we will meet on the route one day. See you there! Hi!
