Shelter on Ornak Hall

First, although a primitive shelter in the Valley tourism Ko¶cieliska was a big shepherd's hut on Polana Pyszna leased in 1909 by Ski Section of the Tatra Society from Management Goods of Count Zamoyski. It was rebuilt in the years 1910 -1911, in subsequent years the upgrading works were carried out several times. During World War II, the Soviet partisans and Tatra couriers gave shelter on the way to Hungary. Shelter was destroyed in 1945 during the fighting Germans with the guerrillas.

After the war, on the Little Ornaczañska Polana shelter was built, which still serves the tourists. It is a beautiful building, in the style of new zakopians, by project by Anne Gorska.. Shelter was officially opened by August 8, 1948.
