PTTK Leskowiec Mountain Shelter

Highlight • Mountain Hut

A mountain tourist shelter of the Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society (PTTK) at an altitude of 890 m above sea level, 800 m from the Leskowiec mountain, from which it takes its name. The location is beautiful - from the nearby Leskowiec and Gronie Jana Pawła II there are some of the most beautiful mountain panoramas in the whole of Poland (i.e. eat, sleep and watch).

There is a buffet, a kitchen with full board and accommodation for tired tourists. The shelter is open all year round.

John Paul II's Groń

Highlight • Summit

It is located in the main ridge of the Little Beskids between the nearby Leskowiec (922 m above sea level), from which it is separated by the shallow Midowicz Pass, and the more distant Magurka Ponikiewska (817 m above sea level). Two side ridges extend from it. In the north-west direction, the ridge goes to Gancarz and further, in the south-east, initially a small ridge just below the summit, transforming below into a ridge with the peaks of Jaworzyna (662 m above sea level) and Harańczykowa Góra (624 m above sea level). From the valleys between these ridges, the source streams of the Rzyczanka, Ponikiewka, Tarnawka and Targoszówka streams flow.
There are two clearings on the top of Groń Jana Pawła II; in the north it is Polana Beskid, in the south it is Polana Bargłowa (there is a tourist shelter on it).
Initially, this peak was called Jaworzyna. During his childhood and adolescence, John Paul II reached the summit many times - later also as a bishop. In summer he covered the trail on foot, in winter he went skiing here. The last time he climbed Leskowiec and Jaworzyna as a cardinal was in 1970, after a mass celebrated on the occasion of the 25th anniversary of his priesthood in Kalwaria Zebrzydowska.
In 1995, at the initiative of PTTK activist Stefan Jakubowski from Andrychów, a chapel was erected under the summit (in Polana Bargłowa), and a steel cross from 1991, dedicated to "people of the mountains".
