We had a riotous time getting here yesterday as the GPS reference is not quite correct or if it is it's impossible to programme
(0.7999999!)

Our trusty Garmin led us to a dead end so we thought we'd have to abandon our plans and go elsewhere but where?
No sites on camper contact or park4night.
Getting dark
Not got Polish money yet
Then I thought let's try a Britstop approach and see if a restaurant would let us stay in the carpark. Mistakenly i parked at a baker's parking square and got short shrift after miming sleeping pose and pointing at the van. Niet niet!
Then tried one more time to find this spa and drove up a steep closed road after being helped by three different young Polish people with phones (always ask a young person in eastern Europe because they will have a smattering of English at least and will always have Google maps on their phones - the older people tend to be unhelpful or nervous when asked and generally have no English)
Anyway we finally got here....
Helped through the gate in the pitch dark and to the site by an elderly Polish gardener who was really nice but could only say 'Ealing Broadway' as he had visited once I think.
Staggeringly beautiful wooded small camp high up overlooking the town. The couple are a Dutch / Polish pair who opened this in 2002 and it's the first one in Poland. I'm hoping to get them round for dinner tonight to get to know more but in the meantime not sure how Martin is going to feel when he finds its a naturalist spa. I'm easy with that stuff having been a Dutch hippy myself back in the day. It'll probably be empty anyway but the facilities look amazing. Expensive at 25e each a day and minimum two days stay but we have saved loads recently in free or very very cheap spots so we're going to treat ourselves (although Martin doesn't quite know the nature of the treat yet !)
Walking distance into what looks like a lovely town of Bielsko-Biala.
If you do decide to visit here go to the website first which we discovered the wrong way round
Broken Link Removed
naturystyczne-cezar/ (select the union jack to translate)
If you do, - Google Sauna Cezare and read some of the hilarious accounts online by people who've been here. Sounds definitely interesting and as we have been starved of social contact for 5 weeks I hope they'll accept my dinner invitation.
I shall report back tomorrow if anyone is interested

this bit of the coordinates seems to work correctly 49.7853,19.0818 might just be the minute format of the other bit that's a bit skewy

Well done for finally locating what must be Poland's only naturist spa!

Hope you enjoy the experience - let us know how you get on.

Living the dream.
Sounds interesting but €100 per stay minimum is a bit steep, ok then, bloody extortionate :eek:

This message was brought to you by a very tight Badknee.......

Sounds lovely, but intriguing. Can't wait for an update, especially your OH's reaction. Well done for persevering and finding somewhere.
Was also interested in what you said a few posts back about being escorted out Holland - doesn't sound like 'the very liberal Dutch' :)

Only ones with clothing or without clothing, or the only ones there?

No the owner didn't give an answer all day so we cooked a three course meal in case but they didn't come so we have left overs for a week! I don't think they are a couple any more so maybe didn't want to come together. Hey ho their loss.

I found out today that no clothing is actually mandatory here but he waived the rule as we arrived late and no one was here. he also only charged 60e for two days which was pretty good.

I will but Martin won't .
I have a friend who would like to join me so we will go together - probably when martin wants to stop travelling due to his Parkinson's worsening. (A time I don't look forward to.) but I will need my breaks if I am a carer.
I have honestly never seen such a lovely retreat resort on three acres in the woods above a town with fabulous views to mountains beyond
Krakow is so close and it's 40 kms away and at the moment cheap to fly to. Even at 25e a night it's still cheap for all the facilities. You've obviously got to be into the whole ethos which many aren't.
