Edward Jelinek lived in the second half of the 19th century and was an active activist for the Polish-Czech brotherhood, and a plaque on the rock here is in his honor, attached in 1897. Two years later a bronze medallion was added under the plaque.

Polana Strążyska

Highlight • Natural

The former alpine hut now houses a medium-sized hut with a kiosk for hikers. Outside, there are free park benches with a table.
Even from this valley meadow with its mild climate, you can see the peak of Giewont (Reclining Knight).
This is a major hiking trail intersection.

View of Giewont

Highlight • Viewpoint

Hikers can see the summit cross of Giewont (Reclining Knight, 1895 m) early on. The mountain massif is impressive. But also frustrating if you want to climb it. The summit seems infinitely far away.
