Imagine waking up without an alarm clock. Outside the window, trees are rustling, and you have the whole day ahead of you to do absolutely nothing. Sounds like a dream? In 2026, this dream is easier to fulfill than you think.
You don't have to be a logistics master to turn your standard 26 vacation days into a massive 62 days of blissful rest. The calendar aligns perfectly, so with just a few smart decisions, you gain time for reading books by the fireplace, forest walks, and long conversations under the stars.
Here is your simple guide on how to escape into nature in 2026.
January: 6 Days for Winter Silence
The year starts perfectly. New Year's and Epiphany fall such that by taking only 2 days of leave (Jan 2 and 5), you gain almost a week off.
- The Plan: Hide away in a cabin where the only sound is the crackling fire in the fireplace.
Spring: 12 Days When the Forest Wakes Up
Spring in the forest is a spectacle. To not miss it, aim for Easter and the May weekend.
- Easter: Take 4 days off after the holidays. You gain 9 days to observe nature waking up.
- May Weekend: In 2026, you have 3 days of the May weekend without using a single vacation day.
- The Plan: Morning coffee on the terrace and birds singing.
June: 4 Days to Welcome Summer
Corpus Christi is a classic. Just 1 day of leave on the Friday after the holiday gives you a 4-day long weekend.
- The Plan: Long evenings, walking barefoot on the grass, and bathing in a lake or hot tub.
Autumn and Winter: 15 Days for Regeneration
When the days get shorter, the forest becomes the coziest.
- November: Take 2 days of leave after Independence Day. That's 5 days for an autumn reset with a book.
- Christmas: Take 4 days of leave after Christmas. You connect Christmas with New Year's, gaining 10 days off.
Your Bonus: Where Do the Extra 9 Days Come From?
This is the most important trick of the year. In 2026, two public holidays fall on a Saturday (Aug 15 and Dec 26). The law in Poland is clear: the employer must give you 2 days off for this.
How to turn this into a 9-day vacation? It's simple:
- You take these 2 days that the boss "gives back."
- You add 3 days left from your vacation pool (because in our plan, you didn't use everything!).
- So you have 5 days off in a week (Monday-Friday).
- You add the weekend before and the weekend after.
- Result: A full 9 days in nature at any time you choose!

One Final Tip
The most beautiful places in nature - those secluded, with a view and atmosphere - are unique. There aren't many of them. When others realize how good this calendar is, the best dates will disappear.
Don't wait. Plan your peace now. Find your place at Cabinest and enjoy the thought that this time is reserved just for you.
