Other slopes in the area: Kartasiówka, slope in Lubstynek and Wygoda.
Mushroom Trip
Although the forests in the immediate vicinity of the cottages are mixed beech and pine forests, which do not seem too "mushroom-producing", you can come across several different species of mushrooms - majestic kites, chanterelles hidden in the moss and handsome boletus, which at first glance hard to see among the colorful leaves. For larger "hunts" it is worth going to the pine forests growing along the road No. 530 in the direction of Dobre Miasto. We especially recommend the area halfway between the exit from route no. 7 and the town of Szeląg - forest parking lot marked on the map.
