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 Wilczki Waterfall was formerly called Wodogrzmoty Żeromskiego (The Żeromski Waterfall). Years ago, the waterfall reached a height of approximately 27 meters, but after the great flood of 1997, the water eroded the artificially created 5-meter threshold, and now the water falls from a height of approximately 22 meters. Admission to the waterfall is free. However, the Wilczki Waterfall is not accessible to people with strollers or wheelchairs due to the numerous steps. Around the Wilczki Waterfall, there are viewing platforms from which you can admire the waterfall and its surroundings, as well as benches for walkers where you can sit, immersing yourself in the atmosphere of this extraordinary place and listening to the sound of the falling water. Above the waterfall itself, an iron bridge provides a beautiful view of the falling water.

The area of the exceptionally valuable rural church founded at the end of the 13th century, rebuilt in the late Gothic style in 1452-3, preserved in later Renaissance and Baroque modifications, is complemented by the late Baroque ossuary from 1793, the enclosure wall and the Calvary from 1799.

The highest waterfall in the Śnieżnik massif (22 meters tumbling into a cauldron) is a sight to behold (and listen to). Good trails offer numerous viewing points. There's also a restaurant right next door, so once you've admired and admired it, you can relax comfortably.

The PTTK "Jagodna" mountain shelter in Spalona is a charming place in the Bystrzyckie Mountains, nestled in an exposed clearing along the former Sudeten Highway. The building boasts over 120 years of history – from a tavern and inn, through a German Brandbaude, to today's tourist shelter. Today, it offers 57 beds, a buffet, a recreation room, and camping facilities. In winter, it houses a ski stadium and groomed cross-country trails.
