Potoczek

Location and atmosphere

The house was built at the beginning of the 20th century and was thoroughly renovated in 2006. Bright and warm rooms with beautiful views to the mountains are simply decorated with traditional country furniture. Potoczek is a perfect place for families with children, who can safely and happily play in our large garden. Also, there is a smithy and a granary from the 19th century in the garden. An excellent herbal tea made of herbs picked up at nearby meadows and EKOCENTRUM ICPPC’s garden is always ready to be brewed. The Eko-centre ICPPC is the first educational and exhibit centre of this kind in Poland that promotes ecological building technologies, energy economy and water and sewage management. Trainings and workshops are regularly organized. See for more information on ICPPC at www.eko-cel.pl. It is located directly next to Potoczek.

Facillities

We also cook for vegetarians and vegans.

Surroundings and activities

The Malopolska region is amazingly rich in both natural and historical treasures. The farm is only 50 km from Kraków, yet nestled in the beautiful Beskidy mountains, covered with forests housing deer and badgers. Visitors can enjoy the wonderful parks and reserves in the area and pay a visit to the famous Babia Góra National Park, only 40km away, is a must. Within 10km of Stryszów there are a number of castles, monasteries and mansions to visit, including the house that Pope John Paul II was born in in Wadowice, only 14km away.
