Stunning views of the Tatra Mountains. So good, you'll lose your mind. You'll just want to jump for joy (just be careful not to fall off that tower!)

Right next to the shelter is the Silesian Beskid Tourism Museum. It is worth visiting this place. In the season, there are guides there who will tell you about the history of this place. The facility is supported by free donations, it is worth supporting if you can. I recommend seeing it.

Delicious food, accommodation conditions are closer to a hotel than a hostel, I recommend.

I was here only for a short while, but the friendly service and very good żurek made me want to come back here during my trips around the Silesian Beskids. There are two stamps on the mantelpiece for collectors: Barania Góra and PTTK Shelter on Przysłopie.

Although the lookout tower is absolutely hideous, conquering Barania Góra is very satisfying. In good weather, the panoramas are excellent.
