Majláthova Chata

The first hut was built according to the decision of the Hungarian Carpathian Association in 1876, but only after three years the one-room wooden hut was ceremoniously opened on August 4, 1879. On this occasion it was also given the name Majláthhütte in honor of the deputy chairman of the Liptov section of the KV, Béla Majláth. Barely a year later, the shack burned down on July 18, 1880, with then-local herbalists, who feared the growing number of tourists, being accused of the arson. In 1880 a simple chalet was built, called the Hinzensee Hut, which in 1885 was moved further up into the Žabia dolina valley. In 1881, the KV had a successor to the first hut, a stone hut with three rooms, built on the ruins of the wooden hut. Although this did not have an official name, it was called Majláthhütte like its predecessor, but the name Popperseehütte (Slovakian Popradská chata or Chata pri Popradskom plese) increasingly prevailed. The hut featured an unusual “guest book” in which guests would engrave their names on the walls and wooden beams.The second hut also fell victim to a fire in 1890 and the third building was erected in 1892 by the local squire and owner Franz Máriássy from Batizovce (German Botzdorf). In 1897 Prince Christian Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen had the third hut demolished with the intention of keeping tourists away from his hunting grounds in the Mengusovská valley. But pressure from public opinion forced the prince to build a simple wooden hut, which opened in 1899. This hut was then rebuilt several times, later expanded with a stone hostel for tourists and in the last stage of expansion offered space for 150 guests in 25 rooms. In 1951, shortly after it was nationalized by the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, the smeltery was named Chata kapitána Morávku after the Slovak financial guard and partisan member Štefan Morávka, who fell below Kriváň on January 13, 1945.In 1961 the older wooden building collapsed under heavy snow pressure, the newer stone part burned down in 1964. Since a new mountain hotel, the Horský hotel Popradské pleso, had just been built right next door, there was no reconstruction at that time. A new building only began in 2006, which was approved on December 30, 2010 and opened in February 2011. The new hut uses the historical name Majláthova chata.
