    Hiking

    The highlight is the Albertine Monastery.
    The hermitage and its accompanying wooden church were designed in 1912 in the Zakopane style and built near the Kalatówki pasture on the Sleeping Mountain. It's not uncommon to encounter (very young) nuns in Catholic habits on the Polish hiking trails of the Western Tatras.

    A small wooden building, erected here in 1901. Brother Albert (Adam Chmielowski) founded this monastery, and masses were held here. In 2001, this hermitage was declared a historical monument, and now in the room next to Brother Albert's cell there is an exhibition of his memory.

    Mountaineering

    Additionally, turning right from the blue trail onto the yellow trail, after walking about 700 m you can reach the charming Albertine Monastery.
