Our history started many years ago when we were just a campsite with the Szuwarek bar, supported by a dedicated team known for their warm hospitality. Over time, the resort grew—not only through modern infrastructure, comfortable cottages and apartments, but also thanks to our restaurant, where we serve homemade Masurian cuisine and bread, baked from a cherished family recipe. Over the years, our bread has become a symbol of Pajda Mazur’s local tradition.
