Mazuria Ecolodges

Finished the wishes season, places now for the hunting season for a land! If the weather allows it (it left well) we will be in Mazuria from February 9 to february 12 to research the land of our dreams.

With the program, we will make a brief with the notary before leaving and then we will go round the estate agent’s offices proposing interesting lands, we will stick up ads in the stores and look for by ourself by asking the private individuals.

We will benefit from it to test competition, to meet the manufacturer of wooden houses Mazurskie Domy and to admire the area by discovering other magic places…

Of course the great report when we come back!
