Schronisko Betlejemka
Schronisko Betlejemka is a little mountain hut in the Polish High Tatras.
Unlike the other touristic mountain huts, like the famous
Murowaniec located some 200m further below, Betlejemka is a hut only for mountaineers who have a license of the Polish Alpine Club (
PZA) or any other mountaineering club of the world affiliated to the
UIAA organisation.
For this reason, not everyone can sleep in it, and it is a very small place: 20 people maximum. During summer, it is quite difficult to book a place in it, but off season, it makes an excellent alternative to the noisy other refuges, with a totally different atmosphere, amongsts real mountaineers and not messy tourists.
The style of this beautiful wooden construction, similar to the traditional wooden barns, also adds a lot to the charm of a night in this place.
There is no food served and the shower is very basic but Murowaniec is only few meters away... beer also :)
If you would like to book few places (if you are alone or very small number your request has more chances to be accepted), you can contact them via the contact details on
this page.
