The big tree
It is called the palace in Kobylniki but it is really closer to the town of Szamatou艂y. From route A2 you head north to Szamatou艂y and then watch for the sign of the palace hotel. It is off road 185. The approach is everything you would expect of a great location. It is seen in the distance and the gate in front make a good impression. We drove right up to it and then went for a walk around the grounds to take pictures. When we were done we went inside to see what it looked like and it was magnificient. Wooden panels everywhere with history embedded in each panel. The price for a stay of one night was 230 zl($104 USD) for two people.
The palace is everything you would expect. Beautiful rooms, woodwork everywhere, history, a restaurant, plenty of grounds to walk on, quiet in an isolated area away from noise, somewhat different from the palace we saw yesterday in Napachanie.
This palace was built in 1886 for the Twardowski family. They owned it until 1939 when it was turned over to the National Treasury of Poland. A tourist hotel enterprise was established and today it is a hotel

To jest nazwane pa艂ac w Kobylniki ale to jest naprawd臋 bli偶sze do miasta Szamatou艂y. Od szlaku Na ciebie p贸jd藕 na p贸艂noc do Szamatou艂y i wtedy oczekuj znaku hotelu pa艂acu. To jest precz droga 185. Podej艣cie jest wszystko, czego oczekiwa艂by艣 wielkiej lokalizacji. To jest zobaczone w odleg艂o艣ci i bramie na przedzie robi膮 dobre wra偶enie. Pop臋dzili艣my w prawo do tego i wtedy poszli艣my na spacer dooko艂a grunt贸w by zrobi膰 obrazy. Kiedy byli艣my zrobieni poszli艣my wewn膮trz by zobaczy膰 co to wygl膮da艂o jak i to by艂 magnificient. Drewniane panele wsz臋dzie z histori膮 osadzon膮 w ka偶dym panelu. Cena dla pobytu jednej nocy by艂a 230 zl($104 USD) dla dw贸ch ludzi.

Pa艂ac jest wszystko, czego oczekiwa艂by艣. Pi臋kne pokoje, wyroby z drewna wsz臋dzie, historia, restauracja, du偶o grunt贸w by chodzi膰 dalej, spokojny w izolowanym obszarze daleko od ha艂asu, nieco r贸偶ny od pa艂acu zobaczyli艣my wczoraj w Napachanie.

Ten pa艂ac by艂 zbudowany w 1886 dla rodziny Twardowski. Oni posiedli to a偶 do 1939 kiedy to by艂o przewr贸cone do Narodowej Skarbnicy Polski. Przedsi臋biorstwo hotelu turysty by艂o za艂o偶one i dzisiaj to
