In Podlaskie voievodship, in the commune named Michałowo, there is a village Jałówka, where, at 3, Szkolna Street, you can find an inn „Przy Tłoczni”, whose owner is EuRoPol GAZ s.a. The inn is situated about 500 m from Byelorussian border and about 10 km from the border crossing Bobrowniki. The usable area of the inn is about 1100 square metres. On the two floors of the building there are 13 hotel rooms, including: 2 apartments, one room for 3 persons and 10 double rooms. Each room is equipped with a kitchenette and a bathroom. Comfortable lodging conditions will meet the needs of most exacting guests. On the ground floor of the building there is a dining room with a fireplace for 28 people, where you can taste regional meals. The inn has at its disposal 10 garage stands and 40 parking places, as well as its own water intake, water treatment and waste-water treatment plants. The whole property is enclosed and guarded for 24 hours.

The inn is located in a former school building from 1892. The school was built on the initiative of the then parish-priest, the Reverend Jakub Bałubaszewicz and it was to continue traditions of the first parish school in this area that had been founded in 1615. During the interwar period the school implemented a full teaching programme of a 7-years’school. There worked eight teachers in it. After the II World War, due to gradual decrease in population number, the number of classes was also decreasing, and in 1993 the school was closed. In spring 1999 the whole site was purchased by EuRoPol GAZ s.a. and, as a result of recondition and modernisation works, in autumn that year it was thrown open to companies co-operating with EuRoPol GAZ s.a., as well as to other guests.

The inn is situated not far from Białowieska Forest (about 60 km), in the region that for ages has been inhabited by population of different cultures: Poles, Byelorussians, Lithuanians, Russians, Ukrainians, the Jews and the Tartars. Traces of these cultures can be found also near Jałówka. In the place named Kruszyniany, located at the distance of about 20 km from the inn, there is a monumental, wooden Muslim shrine dated from the 19^th century. Jałówka, which used to be the seat of starosts (foremen of districts), was twice visited by the king Stephan Batory, who was travelling from Warsaw to Grodno in 1580 and from Grodno to Warsaw in 1582.
Presently, after five ages, Jałówka – as the seat of our inn, will gladly entertain all of you, not necessarily while going to Grodno.
