If you're heading to Ślęża, it's almost certainly from here. There's a good parking lot here and plenty of trail signs. The pass is at 384m above sea level and from here there are beautiful views of the surrounding area.

PTTK Tourist House on Mount Ślęża

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The Tourist House is a different category from the PTTK shelter, which means that this building is subject to different rules than shelters. There was already a building on this site in 1837 and it has a long history. One of the more interesting rooms here was the current Knights' Hall (formerly the Ślęża Hermitage, where members of the Mountain Society met).

There is no running water here, so there is no accommodation, only a buffet.
