Dabrowa

The hunting district Dąbrowa covers 11,344 hectares, of which 9,857 hectares are forest, while the remaining 1,487 hectares consist of agricultural land, meadows, wetlands, and small streams. At the center of the district is a 19-hectare lake where fishing is possible. The forest is predominantly coniferous (83.6%) but also includes oak (5.8%), birch (4.4%), alder (2.7%), and other deciduous trees (3.5%). The name "Dąbrowa" comes from the Polish word for oak ("dąb"). A large part of this beautiful district is hilly. Dąbrowa has 75 high stands and hunting blinds, as well as 21 feeding areas. Up to six hunters can hunt at the same time, though the optimal number is four to five.

The district has a good population of fallow deer, with an annual harvest of approximately 50 animals. Dąbrowa also has good populations of red deer and wild boar, while the roe deer population is quite limited. Each year, about three roe bucks are taken. Dąbrowa also has a fine red deer population, with an annual quota of around 17 stags—most of them with a trophy weight of 4–6 kg, though some trophies exceed 6 kg each year. More than 20 fallow bucks are harvested annually, and they are typical Polish fallow deer, with some stags reaching or slightly exceeding a trophy weight of 3 kg. There is a reasonable population of wild boar in Dąbrowa, which are hunted both individually throughout the season and during driven hunts in autumn and winter.

When visiting Dąbrowa, you can choose between two cozy accommodation options, both offering authentic Polish hospitality. The first is with Janusz Boguski, where up to six people can stay. It is not a luxury stay, as guests live privately with the family in their home. However, the atmosphere is warm and welcoming, and the catering is excellent. Janusz Boguski speaks good German. The second accommodation is with Janusz’s son Kasper and his family in Bursztynowo, set in beautiful surroundings. Here, guests also stay privately with the family, who take great care of their visitors, and the catering is top-notch. This location offers two double rooms. The hosts speak English. Both places have Wi-Fi, good mobile coverage, and a refrigerator available for guests.

Dąbrowa is located approximately 320 km from the Kolbaskowo border crossing south of Szczecin, about 18 km from Świecie and 25 km from Grudziądz, the nearest larger towns, and 120 km from Gdańsk, the nearest international airport.
