The Farm Wild Camping

To explore locally, you can go kayaking on the Wilga River (10 minutes’ drive); the meandering route leads through meadows and woodland. Hikers and cyclists will probably make a beeline for the Masovian Landscape Park (20 minutes), which is laced with trails through forest and around waterways. You might be lucky enough to spot black storks and rare linnets around the park’s protected Bagno Całowanie peat bogs, which you can explore on wooden boardwalks. Anglers can keep themselves busy fishing for carp at the Łowisko Wilga lakes (15 minutes), while golfers hone their handicap at Sobienie Królewskie Golf and Country Club (10 minutes). If you’re after a lazy day soaking up the sun, head for the family-friendly lakeside waterpark at Wodna Kraina (15 minutes), which has a sandy beach, bar and restaurant, plus trampolines and waterslides, paddleboard rental and swan-shaped pedal boats. For a quieter vibe, you can also try wild swimming in the clear water at Morskie Oko (20 minutes); take a picnic and listen out for the sound of frogs croaking on the river banks.
