The wooden shelter is in poor condition. The owners are gradually renovating it and are asking for support. Come in for coffee and other treats; the proceeds will go towards renovations.

On the way to the High Owl, there once stood several huts, pictures and walls testify to this. The last ones fell victim to the flames, so only ruins remain. What a pity.

One of the few wartime shelters to have escaped destruction: it is situated on the slopes of Mount Rymarz in beautiful surroundings - a great place to stop.

From this mountain - and from the observation tower - the views are simply stunning. It is the second highest peak in the Sowie Mountains. From here you can see the entire Sowie Mountains, the Stołowe Mountains, and even the Karkonosze Mountains - amazing!
