The old Tuchola Forest between the Brda and the Wda. Aurochs, bears and wolves once lived in it, and fugitives and deserters hid in its trackless woods.
Northern Poland. From Tuchola it is about 130 km to Gdańsk. Location and borders (PL)

For spring: a spa hotel in Tleń, close to the kayak rentals on the Wda, and a converted barn with a sauna.
For summer: a house for a large group with a jetty on the Wda, and forest cabins with their own beach.
For autumn: a hotel with a pool and saunas on Lake Charzykowskie, and a house with a fireplace on the Wda.
For winter: a palace with an indoor pool and salt cave, and cabins with a pool and sauna for groups of up to nine.
A four-star hotel in Tleń, in the Tuchola Forest. Buildings alternate with woodland, and the village keeps its quiet, forest character. On site there is a spa centre, a tennis court, a pool with activity programmes, a bar, a restaurant, and a cafe with terraces.
Five apartments in a two-level, carefully converted former barn in Osiek. The character of the place comes from the building itself: exposed timber beams, restored furniture, muted grey tones, and a quiet adults-only format. There is a sauna, jacuzzi, and small pool on site. The largest apartment, "Stodoła", is about 100 m² and has two bedrooms and a fireplace.
A three-story Swedish-style house for a larger group. Several levels, kitchens on the floors, a garden with a fire pit, and shared space make it suitable for friends travelling together or a large family stay.
A settlement of wooden two-level cottages for 6 people, spread across 2.5 hectares of pine forest with its own shoreline on Lake Okonińskie. The main value of this address is its relationship with the water: a private beach with fishing piers, kayaks, SUP boards, and on weekends a sauna and wood-fired hot tub. It works well for families with children and couples. The beach and piers belong to the resort.
A four-star hotel by Lake Charzykowskie, with a pool, spa area, saunas, and fitness facilities. Its main strength is the location: close to the water, the promenade, and the road toward Bory Tucholskie National Park.
A house for 6-8 people on a hill above the Wda valley, rented as a whole. More than a hectare of land slopes through a meadow toward the river; inside are three bedrooms, a living room with a stone fireplace, and two bathrooms. The standard is simple. Mobile coverage can be weak, free WiFi is available. It suits guests looking for quiet and good walking paths. Pets are also welcome.
A restored nineteenth-century palace with a broad leisure offer: indoor pool, spa area, salt grotto, playground, mini-zoo, and access to a nearby stable. The hotel works both for couples and families, especially for guests who want a comfortable base on the southern edge of the Tuchola Forest region.
Several spacious Scandinavian-style cottages for groups of 4-9 people, with a shared wellness zone: an indoor heated pool, sauna, jacuzzi, and gym. A good choice for families, or for two or three families travelling together. There is a large playground, trampoline, sandpit, and sports field.
