PTTK Mountain Hut under Bereśnik

The PTTK Mountain Hut under Bereśnik, also called the Bacówka under Bereśnik, lies at 843 m above sea level in the Sącz Beskids, in the Radziejowa Range. The approach leads from Szczawnica.

History of the bacówka

The bacówka (shepherd's-style mountain hut) was opened to tourists in 1989. It was built by the Pieniny branch of the PTTK in Szczawnica. In August 2013 the building was named after Edward Moskała, and according to the Wikipedia entry it was the last of similar tourist buildings whose construction he initiated.

In August 2009 the magazine “n.p.m.” placed the hut third in a ranking of mountain huts.

Accommodation and trails

The building has 40 beds in 2-, 4-, 7- and 8-person rooms, and the owner is the PTTK (Polish Tourist and Sightseeing Society). A yellow trail leads from Szczawnica: uphill it takes about an hour, downhill 40 minutes. A black trail runs to the Zaskalnik waterfall and takes 45 minutes up and an hour down. A blue trail also leads to Szczawnica.
