October 15, 2025, Schronisko PTTK „Na Śnieżniku"

The first mention of the development of Śnieżnik Mountain dates back to 1809, when the owner of Międzygórze, Count Wilhelm von Magnis, built barns and shepherd's huts on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik. In 1838, Międzygórze was purchased by Princess Marianna of Orange, the Lady of Kamieniec Ząbkowicki – daughter of the King of the Netherlands and wife of a Prussian prince. In 1840, she invited her father, King Wilhelm, with whom she reached the summit of Śnieżnik on July 20th. In 1869, the Duchess took over the land on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik. She commissioned a highlander from Switzerland to build a Swiss mountain hut (Schweizerei am Schneeberg or Schweizerei auf dem Schneeberg) on the mountain pasture below Śnieżnik, which now forms the main part of the mountain hut. Construction was completed in 1871. The building initially served as a tourist inn, with 50 beds and a large dining hall. In the following years, the buildings were modernized several times. In 1872, utility rooms were built on the site of an old dairy farm. In 1880, a meteorological station was opened at the inn. In the 1930s, the inn had 30 beds. After World War II, the building stood empty until 1946. The dilapidated buildings were taken over by "Orbis," renaming it "Szwajcarka." In 1947, the Polish Tatra Mountain Shelter Board took over. The following summer, a shelter was opened, named "Na Śnieżniku" to distinguish it from the "Szwajcarka" shelter in Rudawy Janowickie. In 1950, the building became the property of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society. At that time, the shelter had 63 beds. In the 1980s, the shelter was thoroughly modernized and renovated thanks to the efforts of its then-lessee, Zbigniew Fastnacht, who managed the facility from 1982 to 2001. After his death, in recognition of his achievements, the shelter was named after him.

The Králický Sněžník National Nature Reserve encompasses the central and peak parts of this mountain range and was established in 1990. Covering nearly 1,700 hectares, it protects natural ecosystems, including subalpine meadows, peat bogs, and fragments of primeval spruce forests. These mountains have a fascinating geological structure – the glacier shaped their relief, leaving behind rocky seas, cirques, and karst caves in the upper Morava River valley. They are also home to rare plant and animal species, such as the omiegi, the hazel grouse, and the mountain bluebell. For gravel cyclists, the reserve offers attractive yet challenging terrain – it's worth being prepared for long climbs and variable weather conditions.

September 11, 2025, View of Sky Bridge 721

A view of Sky Bridge 721. Sky Bridge 721 in Dolní Morava is one of the most spectacular attractions in the Czech mountains, right on the border with Poland. This 721-meter-long suspension footbridge hangs 95 meters above the valley, guaranteeing a thrilling experience and exceptional panoramic views of the surrounding area. It connects the Slaměnka chalet on the slopes of Slamník Peak with the slopes of Chlum Mountain, providing a unique walking route for hikers who aren't afraid of heights. It's also worth noting that the "Sky Walk" is located nearby, a wooden observation deck 55 meters above the ground.

It is better to book a place to stay in advance, the food is OK, the prices are like in other shelters in Poland, you have to take into account that there is no Wi-Fi on the premises of the shelter, and the mobile internet is so-so.
