House of Carl and Gerhart Hauptmann in Szklarska Poręba located only a 15-minute walk from our property, also in the picturesque Valley of Happiness, formerly called the Valley of Seven Houses, which once formed the heart of artists' journeys.
The fame of the later Nobel laureate Gerhart and the charisma of the lesser-known Carl – author, among others, of "The Book of the Mountain Spirit" (Rübezahlbuch) – have long attracted representatives of culture and the arts from across Europe.
In the former writers' house there is currently a museum that presents mementos of both writers, Karkonosze landscapes by painters associated with the pre-war "Kunstlervereinigung St. Lukas in Ober – Schreiberhau" – "The Artistic Brotherhood of St. Luke in Upper Szklarska Poręba", as well as a collection of paintings by Wlastimil Hofman and the art of contemporary artists, mainly from the "Nowy Młyn" association.
Around the museum stretches a park founded by Carl Hauptmann, revitalized in 2011 – now "Park of the Mountain Spirit".
Currently the museum aims to serve as a cultural center for the local artists' colony.
