PTTK Markowe Szczawiny mountain hostel

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A good shelter in a clearing at an altitude of 1180m above sea level. Beautiful views of Sokolica, Gówniak and Diablak. There is food and drink, and you can spend the night here - that is, live not die.

Also, take a look at their website, where they will show you in the picture which peak is which - very helpful!

Gówniak

Highlight • Summit

Gówniak is a beautiful mountain in the Babia Góra range, at an elevation of 1,644 meters above sea level. That's high. To the west is Diablak, the highest peak of Babia Góra.

But where does the unfortunate name "Gówniak" come from (if you speak Polish, you know what I'm talking about!)? It turns out that many oxen once grazed on the slopes of Babia Góra, and the mountain takes its name from their abundant droppings...

Babia Góra (Diablak)

Highlight • Summit

If you're going to Babia Góra in the summer, take clothes for the peak as for autumn. If you're going to Babia Góra in the autumn, take clothes for the peak as for winter. If you're going to Babia Góra in the winter, take clothes for the peak as for... Antarctica. You're welcome ;)

Harrow Pass

Highlight • Mountain Pass

The Brona Pass is at an altitude of 1412m above sea level and divides the Babia Góra massif into eastern and western parts. There are several gorges and a pond near the pass.

The name of the pass ("brona") comes from the old Polish "brama" and has been called that since 1925. Previously, it was called Siodło.
