IMPORTANT INFORMATION:
There are 4 seats in each sleigh, an additional fee of PLN 90 applies for each unoccupied seat. So if you want to go in a sleigh with three people - you pay an extra PLN 110 PLN, if you want to book one sleigh just for two persons - you pay an extra PLN 220. In my opinion, it is worth paying the extra amount to avoid arguments while taking seats in the sleigh,
the event is planned for approx. 45-65 people in a two-story regional inn at the tables for 4, 6 and 10 people,
evening outfit is not required - we suggest casual tourist/everyday clothes,
in case of lack of snow, the sleigh will be replaced by horse-drawn carriages (for 4 people each).
