Chatka pod Śnieżnikiem

Chatka pod Śnieżnikiem, Mountain bunker in Śnieżnik Massif, Poland.

Chatka pod Śnieżnikiem is a small wooden hut on the northeastern slope of Mount Śnieżnik in Poland, sitting at around 1170 meters (3,840 feet) above sea level amid spruce and fir forest. The single-story building has two rooms, each equipped with a tiled stove and wooden bunk beds for basic overnight stays.

The hut existed before 1930: German topographic maps of the 1930s mark it as a Hütte, and the date 1878 once read on a roof beam is considered erroneous. Its exact construction date and purpose are unknown; it probably served woodcutters or hunters. In the 1930s scientists studying the Śnieżnik Massif, including its peat bogs, used it for lodging and preliminary work on their material. After 1945 woodcutters and Border Protection troops used it; around 1963 Z. Dumański of Lądek-Zdrój found it overgrown and hidden from the path.

The hut is also known as the hunting lodge on Czarcie Gon under Śnieżnik, one of the few surviving hunting lodges in the Sudetes. Part of Sebastian Sadlej's 2024 novel "Za szczytem" is set inside it. In the 1980s, under martial law, forestry staff and the hut's caretakers began strictly enforcing registration of overnight visitors.

The hut is reached by foot along marked hiking trails and offers basic overnight shelter, but there is no running water so bringing your own supply is necessary. Mountain weather here can change quickly, so setting out prepared for rain or cold is a good idea regardless of the season.
