Majláthova Hut
Highlight • Mountain Hut
The second hut also fell victim to a fire in 1890 and the third building was erected in 1892 by the local squire and owner Franz Máriássy from Batizovce (German Botzdorf). In 1897 Prince Christian Kraft zu Hohenlohe-Öhringen had the third hut demolished with the intention of keeping tourists away from his hunting grounds in the Mengusovská valley. But pressure from public opinion forced the prince to build a simple wooden hut, which opened in 1899. This hut was then rebuilt several times, later expanded with a stone hostel for tourists and in the last stage of expansion offered space for 150 guests in 25 rooms. In 1951, shortly after it was nationalized by the communist regime in Czechoslovakia, the smeltery was named Chata kapitána Morávku after the Slovak financial guard and partisan member Štefan Morávka, who fell below Kriváň on January 13, 1945.
In 1961 the older wooden building collapsed under heavy snow pressure, the newer stone part burned down in 1964. Since a new mountain hotel, the Horský hotel Popradské pleso, had just been built right next door, there was no reconstruction at that time. A new building only began in 2006, which was approved on December 30, 2010 and opened in February 2011. The new hut uses the historical name Majláthova chata.

... it reads where the climb from Popradske Pleso (along Velke Hincovo Pleso) takes you to the highest house (2250m) in the Tatras.
The man we saw passing (with, among other things, a barrel of beer; see photo) undoubtedly carried many times the weight advertised).
