Mountain shelter PTTK "Murowaniec", Mountain shelter in Hala Gąsienicowa, Poland

The stone shelter stands at 1500 meters above sea level in the Tatra Mountains, offering accommodations with 116 beds across multiple rooms.

The shelter opened in 1925 under President Stanisław Wojciechowski's presence, followed by reconstruction in 1951 and restoration after a fire in 1963.

A memorial plaque dedicated to Polish poet Adam Asnyk adorns the entrance since 1929, marking the connection between literature and mountaineering.

Visitors reach the shelter through marked trails from Kuźnice, taking 90 minutes on the blue trail or through Jaworzynka Valley on the yellow path.

The shelter's staircase features early 20th-century symbols reflecting Polish highland decorative patterns and Hindu-inspired mountain culture motifs.
