What is Little Japan in Przesieka?
It is the Siruwia Japanese garden created by Sylwia and Jakub Kurowski. The landscape and plants of the Karkonosze (Giant Mountains) are combined with oriental plants and motifs, following feng shui principles. Streams and waterfalls run through the garden, there are rare plant specimens — some over 100 years old — and the owners’ pride is a collection of about 3,000 rhododendrons in more than 80 varieties. The garden lies at about 600 m above sea level; the owners describe it as the highest Japanese garden in Poland.
