We first went to Tatarska Jurta<\/a> in February 2013. The Supra\u015bl area was covered in snow back then and we and our friend got stuck in a pile of snow with almost no GSM network and no ideas on how to get our car out of it. On Fridays night, our Tatar hosts helped us to dig out our car and safely get to our destination. Back then we fell in love with Kruszyniany, wooden mosques, locals\u2019 hospitality and Tatar food that can\u2019t be found anywhere else. You will find our report from 3 years ago HERE<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We wanted to go there again in summer 2013 but something got in our way. So many plans, so many places, something new every time. We definitely waited too long to come back. This time we made a spontaneous decision to come back, almost in the last minute. We persuaded our friends to go, booked the rooms and left Warsaw at 8 pm on Friday. There\u2019s about 250 km from Warsaw to Kruszyniany<\/strong>. Maks was already asleep in the car when we arrived, the village was covered in darkness but we were still greeted by the friendly host \u2013 Mrs. D\u017cenneta and soon after that Tatar specialties arrived on the table \u2013 savoury manty with cheese and garlic and my beloved sweet manty too. We drank delicious tea with it and quickly realised that it\u2019s been too long since our last visit here!!!<\/p>\n

It gets quite crowded during lunchtime on weekends, even in winter. Someone\u2019s taking plates with fascinating Tatar food different from the food we eat every day from the kitchen all the time. If you want to stay at Jurta, there\u2019s several rooms. They\u2019re simple but nice and tidy too. For us it\u2019s a perfect place for a trip with friends and the kids. The little ones can be laid to bed upstairs while we can sit down in dining hall, eat, talk, play board games without worrying that we\u2019ll wake the kids up.
\nWhen you arrive in Tatarska Jurta, you first enter a large dining hall \u2013 there are two right now, both furnished with wood, both with huge tables which make long celebrations and slow breakfasts even easier.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

What makes Jurta a perfect place for families?<\/strong> The fact that there\u2019s a kids\u2019 corner with toys and stuff in every hall and on every floor. There are two in both dining halls and one on the 1st floor where the rooms are \u2013 Maks quickly went there during breakfast so I could get ready without constant \u2018Mommy, I\u2019m bored!\u2019. There\u2019s also a chance you kid will get a Tatar friend \u2013 Maks played with his almost-peer \u2013 Emir, Mrs. D\u017cenneta\u2019s grandson. In the summer there\u2019s a whole covered terrace for families with some tables under the roof and a playground nearby \u2013 they\u2019ve got it all worked out! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Tatarska Jurta<\/strong> is a place where you will listen to Mrs. D\u017cenneta\u2019s stories about Tatar culture and Tatars in Poland, where D\u017cemila will tell you about food and nearby restaurants, where you will rest far from the city and most of all \u2013 that\u2019s the only place where you will learn about Tatar flavours! I wrote quite a bit about their cuisine after our first trip to Kruszyniany \u2013 check it HERE<\/a>!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This time we obsessively stuffed ourselves with sweet manty<\/strong> with cheese, yoghurt and raspberry sauce, we loved potato babka<\/strong> which was different than the one we knew from Suwalszczyzna or other parts of Podlasie, our friends ate lamb and Maks had ko\u0142duny with broth<\/strong>. We also tried kat\u0142ama<\/strong> – turkey meat baked between pasta slices with tomato and capsicum sauce, we nibbled on kartoflaniki<\/strong> – dumplings filled with potatoes and for the dessert we just had to eat leafcake<\/strong> with cheese or poppy seed. It\u2019s a real pity we haven\u2019t tried granny Tamara\u2019s doughnuts! Next time! Add generous breakfasts, omelettes, pancakes, and Tatar tea with min, lemon and ginger to all these wonders and you\u2019ll get a real culinary paradise!<\/p>\n

strong>What can you do in Kruszyniany apart from eating and listening to Tatar stories??? Rest, walk, enjoy the silence, peace and time passing by slowly. You should also check the wooden mosque<\/strong> in Kruszyniany and listen to D\u017cemil\u2019s stories. He\u2019s the one minding the mosque. You can also visit the Tatar cemetery with crescents on them.<\/p>\n

If you have a car, it\u2019s worth visiting the nearby city of Supra\u015bl (about 40 km) look for bisons roaming free around (we spotted some!) and if you\u2019re coming with kids, you must visit a tiny village called Poczopek with incredible owls! There\u2019s a forest park Silvarum in Poczopek where you will also find a megaliths park, bridges, ponds, A Gallery on the Edge of Wild (from 1.11 to 31.03 an appointment is needed) an a whole lot of weird sundials. A place Maks did not want to leave since everything fascinated him!<\/p>\n
