A meal for two in a restaurant costs around 60 PLN, and accommodation is available from just 30 PLN. Viewers in the comments section echo the creator’s sentiments.
Best in September. They make ajvar at home and distill rakija. You can rent a boat. The water in the lake is clean and warm.
I went and really enjoyed it! Only stayed a day and regret it was so short. Highly recommend.
