Location & getting here

Where is Ośrodek BORSZÓWKA located?

The property is located in Biała Dolina — the most beautiful part of Szklarska Poręba — 2.1 km from the town centre. Major hiking trails and ski lifts are nearby, and the drive to the centre takes about 5 minutes by car, or correspondingly longer on foot.

Is parking available for guests?

Yes, we have a large parking area with room for everyone. We don’t charge for parking.

It’s about a 5-minute drive to the centre of Szklarska Poręba. The area has hiking trails, cycling routes and ski lifts.

Do I need snow chains in winter?

The paved roads leading to our property have a relatively gentle slope and are a priority for snow clearing in winter, so chains are recommended. Whenever driving into the mountains in winter, it’s always worth considering bringing chains for at least two wheels.

Families with children

Is the guesthouse suitable for families with children?

Yes — for children, there’s a large playground with a slide, swings and a fitness module, an indoor play area, a volleyball court, a room for louder play, and plenty of green space. Our little stream is often a hit with kids too — it’s shallow enough that the water only reaches their knees at most.
