Hostel on the Lipowska Meadow
Located several hundred metres to the east from the peak of Lipowski Wierch, the hostel on the Lipowska Meadow is an excellent place for all forms of leisure – from various sports to all sorts of parties and events. It constitutes a perfect starting point for hiking, running, or horse riding trips, as well as for winter sports. There are two ski lifts in the direct vicinity of the hostel. The local conditions are very good for ski-touring, cross country skiing, or even free-ride skiing.
The hostel is hosted by a three-generation family, taking care of this place since 1969. The facility offers 48 beds in 2-, 3-, 4-, 6-, 7-, 8, and 10-bed rooms and a campsite with a campfire. Children can have fun on the nearby playground. Visitors can also use a Finnish sauna. What is definitely worth mentioning is the local cuisine, with home-made traditional pierogi, pancakes, and highlander sauerkraut soup [polish: kwaśnica]. There is a possibility of transporting tourists and their luggage from Złatna Huta.
The facility hosts numerous events and parties, e.g. “HOLA” – a quiet meeting with sheep. The first edition of the meeting took place in July 2019 near a pen full of sheep, located for some time in the Lipowska Meadow, and it was very popular among tourists.
