A great place to relax, off the beaten track, hidden quite deep in the forest, I often go back there. I recommend it ;)

You just have to be careful because the owner apparently doesn't like guests very much.

A place worth recommending for relaxation. Large, spacious shelter. It has two dining tables and benches. There is a grate above the fireplace, and next to it there is a large supply of wood and waste bins. A place under the patronage of the Kolbuszowa Forest District.

From the dam on the Łęg River we have a fantastic view of the reservoir of the same name (also called the Maziarnia Reservoir). There is a walking path around the reservoir.

A pleasant path along the western shore of the Łęg reservoir. Entirely sandy, interspersed with roots. After the rain, it is passable for everyone, on dry days it gets muddy.
