Kids fun in Nowa Sól, lakes Szumino and Niesłysz

18 August 2020 / / 0 Comments

There is a park of dwarfs in Nowa Sól that will make your kids happy. The entrance is free and you will find enough playgrounds and animal to keep your kids busy for 2-3hours.

The fun time for the kids was the planning time for me. With temperature of 30°C+ we decided to look for some nice lakes and hang around them. And do we drove towards lake Szumino. On our way there we spotted the highest statue of Jesus in Europe. Although to me it looks like a statue of Aragorn from “the Lord of the rings” 😉

Lake Szumino appeared to be reasonably clean and the spot we found was good enough for an overnight staying but…

half an hour after we arrived, a tractor sprayed manure on a nearby field… The smell was so intense that we decided to look for another place, with some fresh air, for a change 😉 And so we found lake Niesłysz, with ctistal clear water and white sand on the beach 🙂

This sign made me loughing a lot:

Toilet – 50m, running – 25m

Lakes Niesulice and Niesłysz

17 August 2020 / / 0 Comments

While looking for another lake with clean water and a sandy beach we found a convenient and quiet place at lake Niesulice.

But a tractor arrived to a field neighbouring with the lake … to spray it with the manure….

And so we decided to move….

And we found a lake with a cristal clear water, lake Niesłysz. It is a real pity that it got colder and cloudy the next day because we were tempted to stay there for longer.

From one lake beach to another in Wielkopolska

We wanted to stay for a day at the shore of Jeziorsko lake that is known for lots of opportunities for wild camping. But seeing the tons of trashes left behind by the previous tourist, we knew we would not enjoy it there… Amazing how irresponsible people can be…

We moved severel kilometres North, to a small lake called Przykona. The nature was beautiful, but it is allowed to use motorboats on that lake so knew staying for longer is not an option.

On the next day Rafal took some time to have a look at our solar installation that seemed not to work as expected… Indeed two of the panels are not charging the second battery but fortunately the fix should be relatively easy, once we are back to our “base”.

He was lucky enough to secure all the connections on the roof right before a huge thunderstorm…

And do it was time to move forward… The public beach in Śrem is excellent for families with kids. Free water slide for kids above 100cm (but smaller could to try it as well as noone is guarding it), clean sand and warm water (poor water transparency though – I lost my ring in the water and there was no way to find it back 🙁 In that beach we also left behind the best sand toys of our kids, but we only discovered it on the next day :-/)

After getting enough (too much?!) sun we decided to move forward and visited a beach in Nowy Debiec, which occured to be a big holiday resort with a nice beach and dozens of small bars, ice-cream places and toy stands. Our kids loved it but we didn’t so we decided to look for another place… After having checked several forest parkings we ended up in a public beach in Dominice at the shore of Dominickie lake. We actually liked it so much that we stayed there for two nights. Nights of the falling stars 🙂

Joyful time at Bakałarzewo

21 July 2020 / / 0 Comments

It was just by a chance that we arrived to Bakałarzewo. We were looking for a quiet place to park for the night nearby Wigierski Park Narodowy and the small parking by the lake was indicated on one of the maps of possibilities for wild camping.

And the town/village was a very positive surprise to us: with a river and a lake and full of history! We enjoyed our time there a lot! Just layzing by the lake (with a sandy beach), visiting the local playground and paying a visit at small bunker.

The guide for bunker impressed us with his passion for history. You should not miss this 30 minutes excursion just at the border of the village.

And in the afternoon of the next day a lovely couple joined us for the evening and a little bit of the morning! Thank you Asia and Mirek for the joyful and valuable time we that we spent together!

Digging in the past memories and Wigierski Park Narodowy

On our way to the North of Poland I wanted to visit a special place, nearby a village called Ateny (Athens :-), where I spent several summer holidays camping in a tent with my parents when I was small. Very small…

Unfortunately the place has changed and my memories are very faded so the landscape did not ring any bell…

Anyway, the area still looks very attractive for spending summer there.

Our camp was set up nearby a big campsite of scouts.
Looking for memories from Mum’s childhood…

Afterwards we had several stops at viewpoint on Wigierski National Park. This natural reserve must be gorgeous when seen from the water level.

Augustów

Augustów definatelly is not our cup of tea… Too loud, too crowded and full of entertainments…

After a long walk in the city centre and along the lake, we decided to go back to the nature and stay for the night at the shore of Białe lake. The place was pretty empty until the sunset when 3 other cars arrived within on hour. Anyway the night was quiet and peaceful 😀
