Chatka pod Śnieżnikiem

The wooden shelter stands at 1170 meters above sea level on the northeastern slope of Mount Śnieżnik, surrounded by spruce forest with beech and fir trees.

The structure appears on maps from 1936 and served as a base for naturalists conducting research in the Śnieżnik Massif during the 1930s.

The shelter functions as a traditional rest point for hikers and foresters, maintaining the custom of leaving non-perishable supplies for future travelers.

The single-story building contains two rooms with a tiled stove and wooden bunks, requiring visitors to bring their own water supplies.

The shelter marks the boundary of a nature reserve and sits near the Polish-Czech border, making it a strategic point for cross-border hiking routes.
