November has its own pace. Calmer, quieter, as if the world wanted to slow down for a moment to prepare for winter. In Zieleniec you can feel it very strongly — in the air, in the landscape and in the way time flows here. The long weekend in November is the perfect time to come to Orlica and let yourself breathe for a while.
Some believe that autumn is the time of the end. In Zieleniec it is the opposite — it is a time of renewal. Mists in the morning lazily creep over the slopes, the sun wanders low, staining the southern slopes with gold and copper, and the air is so clean that every breath acts as a sip of energy.
Right now, the Zeleniec microclimate — the same one that ensures a long stay of snow in winter — is working at its fullest. The altitude of more than 900 m above sea level and the unique pressure give the body an impulse to recover. A few days are enough to feel the difference: sleep is deeper, breathing calmer, and head lighter.

Walk in the rhythm of autumn
A long weekend is the perfect time to discover Zieleniec from a different side than winter. The trails, which pulsate with the life of cyclists and tourists in summer, now tempt with silence and space. A short walk towards Orlica, a longer hike in the Bystrzyckie Mountains or a trip to nearby Dusznik-Zdrój — it all depends on the mood. All you need is a thermos with tea, a jacket, good shoes and a desire to just be.
If the weather permits — and the forecasts for the long weekend are really promising — it's also worth getting on a bike. Singletrack Glacensis or simply mountain trails are still open and the autumn light adds to their charm. The view of the mountains in shades of gold and red from the perspective of the saddle remains in the memory for a long time.
Autumn in the mountains has something healing about it. Fresh air, gentle coolness, sometimes a gust of wind from Orlica — all this together works like natural cryotherapy. This is why Zieleniec has been called “mountain cryochamber” for years — a place where the body renews itself in a completely natural way. For many visitors, autumn is the favorite time of year near Orlica — without crowds, without haste, but with a sense of closeness to nature and oneself.
Afternoon with a cup of tea
After a whole day in the fresh air, the Greenhouse slowly plunges into the evening calm. In guest houses and hotels, the lights come on, the smell of mulled wine and hot dishes emanates from the restaurant, and a pleasant warmth is felt in the air. This is the moment to stop. For tea with honey, a book, a conversation, or simply — silence.
More and more facilities in Zieleniec offer SPA zones, saunas and massages — ideal after a day spent outdoors. In autumn, it is not just a luxury, but even a duty: to warm up, let your muscles rest and feel that it really slows down. For many people, these evenings are the quintessence of autumn Zieleniec — without haste, with music in the background, with the feeling that here and now is enough.

Regeneration in earnest
There is hardly a better place for an autumn reset than Zieleniec. The microclimate, clean air, silence and landscape of the Orlice Mountains are a combination that really makes a difference. If you add a few days of slow motion, a little exercise and a good night's sleep, the effect can be surprisingly strong. Therefore, it is worth breaking away from everyday life and allowing yourself something as simple as a walk, breathing and smiling for no reason.
Because autumn in Zieleniec is not sad. She is calm, beautiful and needed.

Catch a moment for yourself
Although it is only a few days, they can prove to be special. The forecast for the long weekend foreshadows the sun, and this, combined with the crisp air, gives the conditions just perfect. It is worth coming before winter arrives — to feel the mountains in a calmer version, warmer in the mood and cooler in the air.
Greenery in autumn is an invitation to simple things: a walk, a conversation, a cup of tea. For a rest that really makes a difference.
