Our comfortable and modern vacation apartment
(flat) is the
ideal base for a vacation
in western Poland and/or Central Europe. Renting our apartment allows guests the opportunity to enjoy the full beauty of
nature, forests, lakes, romantic and timeless Polish villages, Polish culture and
Poland. The apartment (flat) is located right in the centre of the small
and attractive lakeside town of Lubniewice in the province of Lubuskie.
Prior to 1945 the town was known as Konigswalde and was part of the
Prussian province of Neumark/East Brandenburg, Germany.
Our apartment is available for holiday let and rental throughout the year
and has its own
separate direct entrance, a large living-room, fully equipped kitchen, bedroom,
bathroom, and large balcony. The apartment has been recently upgraded with
new kitchen, bathroom, and furniture.
The little town of Lubniewice is located in an area known as the Lubuskie Lake District
of the far west of Poland. The area is an excellent location for lovers
of nature, canoeing, horse-back riding, fishing, hiking & cycling. The area is also
dotted with many interesting historic sites of interest to lovers of
German and Polish history and culture. Lubniewice is a beautiful place to relax for you and your family.
Lubniewice is an excellent place to source good, healthy Polish food and
drink. Eating establishments in the town include a couple very good restaurants, a pizzeria,
ice cream and fast food outlets, and a range of bars, offering
a vast
choice of local Polish food, vodka and beers. Should you wish to cook
your own food, Lubniewice has a daily street market selling locally
grown fresh fruit and vegetables and a selection of small traditional local shops. If you
want to eat for free, the forests which surround the town are full of
delicious wild mushrooms, blueberries, and game, such as wild boar and
deer!
Renting our self-catering, self-contained holiday apartment for a vacation
will allow you to get 'away from it all', but still leave visitors within easy reach of
the undoubted attractions of major cities like Berlin (Germany), Poznan,
Szczecin, and the lesser known cities of Gorzow Wlkp and Zielona Gora.
Day trip opportunities around Lubniewice include: the world's tallest
statue of Jesus in Swiebodzin; the nearby large city of Gorzów Wlkp with
its impressive range of shops, shopping centres, hypermarkets, bars, restaurants, night clubs,
Polish jazz club, and large
multiscreen cinema complex. Crystal-clear lakes; such as those in
the town itself, in nearby Lagow, and countless lesser known and little
explored locations. The
River Obra canoe trail. The impressive Miedzyzecz Underground Bunker and
Fortification system built by the Germans in the 1930s. Numerous castles and palaces.
There is an abundance of Polish, Jewish, and German history all around
the area. Old steam train
locomotive rides in Wolsztyn (the last fully-operational mainline steam
train depot in Europe). The world famous birdwatchers paradise, which is the Warta
Slonsk Wildife Reserve ... and much more. All this and the bright lights
of the large cities of Berlin, Poznan, and Szczecin, less than two hours drive
away. A detailed
Information Guide on the town of Lubniewice and photos of the apartment
itself can be sent to you on
request and a larger information file of
attractions and important things to see and do awaits you in our holiday
apartment. The owners speak English and live within easy reach of the rental apartment,
should you have any questions or need advice on what to see and do in
the area.
