This shelter, opened in 1953, is located on Polana Chochołowska at an altitude of 1146m. You can eat here and stay overnight (smoking is not allowed). It is a great base for trips to the Western Tatras.

Hiking

It's usually very crowded in high season, as the ascent is easy and flat. I recommend the apple pie.
