Mierzecin - castle in Poland with magical nature!
Mierzecin Castle is located in Dobiegniev in Poland, including Poland's third largest vineyard, a horse farm and a SPA. The castle operates as a luxury hotel and you can stay over for a night or a weekend and enjoy the peaceful surroundings, restaurant visits and wellness treatments.
The castle was built in 1861 by a von Sydow but then sold to another von, haha. The castle is a historical monument with an octagonal tower in the English Gothic style.
Magical nature
Nature in Poland is generally beautiful and we are constantly driving through intensely green deciduous forests that frame, and almost flood, the roads. The Poles also like parks. I do not know how many parks we have already stumbled upon, but the wild park behind the castle is probably the most peaceful and at the same time most imaginative we have seen. Like stepping into a fairy tale or a Japanese garden!
Wedding at a castle in Poland
When we peeked into the castle's park, we also stumbled into a wedding. The bridal party came down the stairs and the wedding took place in the red little Chinese house in the park. It's not hard to understand that it's popular to get married in this environment! (Peter grumbled a bit because he wanted to fly his drone, but didn't dare for fear of disturbing the wedding...)
Polish-style camping
After the visit to the castle, we rolled towards what we hoped would be a campsite. Where the GPS said there was no camping sign, but we parked by the road and walked down the dirt road on foot. And yes, there was a small lake, tables and chairs in the open, toilets and showers, tents, canoes and a bunch of happy Poles. And also: a whole bunch of caravan sites with electricity, water and the possibility of emptying the caravan toilet.
There was even a small, small reception desk with a guy who spoke only Polish. Despite the language confusion, he managed to explain that everything is free, even the electricity! What a great service!

When you dare to take a chance, you can experience higher peaks, but also lower valleys sometimes. But we think it's worth it! 🙂

Great nature and cool castle. That's what we like? And then free camping, fantastic. We look forward to the continuation. Have a good trip.

Us too! And the fact that camping (and electricity!) would be free was a total surprise!

Wow! Now I understand what you meant in my comment. About surrounding yourself with beautiful nature. How beautiful it is there! Feels a bit unexpected, I think. But since I have never been to Poland, I only have prejudices about what it "should" look like there 🙂.

Right? The countryside in Poland is nice and free camping was an extra plus that we didn't expect 🙂.

At least we had the name of the castle we were going to, the first time in France. I understand from the pictures that you were captivated, so were we and have continued to look for castle campsites for five years. Have a good trip!

The castle campsites you find in France seem fantastic! Here, the campsite was a little bit away from the castle, but it worked out 😉

What a nice surprise! And nice, with a camipng in this beautiful nature and with plenty of space. Not so fun to stand next to everyone else on a larger campsite and have a few metres between cars and caravans.
Both the environment and the vegetables here are truly beautiful.
26 June 2017 - 9:36
Helena says:
Of course it is nice nature, and not so crowded when you are in the countryside 🙂

Fun to follow your adventures on the trip! Poland is underestimated as a tourist country, has a lot to offer both of nature and culture, at reasonable prices. I realised this when I had a Polish friend who told me.

The fact that the electricity was free was really not bad! What a fairytale park and what a great place to have your wedding. I just enjoy all the nature and the nice Chinese red house that is glimpsed among the bushes. I would love to visit this beautiful castle and park in the future?

BP says:
Poland is amazing!!! The greenery is so striking and beautiful, I think. To find a campsite where everything is free - absolutely incredible I think.
You do and have done fantastic publicity for Poland. Imagine if you could also make the ferries more attractive. Then I think the country would be invaded by both caravaners and ordinary tourists. Not only is it incredibly beautiful there, but it's also very cheap. At the Polish tourist office only when you get home;-)
26 June 2017 - 21:45
Helena says:
It's so nice that you also like Poland! Yes, the greenery is one of the most striking things. It is so intensely green everywhere 🙂 The ferries should really spit up. I know many people who avoid them because they are so boring. If they got their act together just a little, they could get many more types of travellers than just truckers!

Elisabeth says:
What a nice surprise that everything was free! There are plenty of castles and parks and churches in Poland! Nice to get tips on new places, as it will certainly be a new trip there.
