Schronisko na Starej Polanie, Mountain shelter in Karkonosze Mountains, Poland.

The wooden mountain lodge stands at 800 meters elevation on the northern slopes of Karkonosze, offering accommodation and dining facilities for visitors.

Originally named Schlingelbaude in the 1690s, the shelter initially housed workers constructing the Laurentius Chapel on Śnieżka summit before becoming a tourist destination.

The shelter received its current name in 1951 to honor Bronisław Czech, a Polish ski jumper who made significant contributions to winter sports.

Modern visitors can access multiple marked hiking trails from the shelter, which serves as a strategic starting point for exploring the Karkonosze region.

The facility marked the transition from traditional livestock farming to tourism in the Giant Mountains, transforming local economic patterns by the early 1900s.
