The shelter is open from 9:00 AM to 7:00 PM. If you call when it's open, they will wait for you with accommodation. Payment is cash only. Possibly by bank transfer, but the GSM signal there is terrible.

Supposedly a shelter - but every time I'm here I think that it's one of the few places where you don't feel the atmosphere in the mountains (I didn't sleep, I just passed by a few times) payment only cash!!

A mountain tourist shelter of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (PTTK) at an altitude of 890 m above sea level, 800 m from the Leskowiec mountain, from which it takes its name. The location is beautiful - from the nearby Leskowiec and Gronie Jana Pawła II there are some of the most beautiful mountain panoramas in the whole of Poland (i.e. eat, sleep and watch). There is a buffet, a kitchen with full board and accommodation for tired tourists. The shelter is open all year round.
