Tips from the Community
Built on the rock itself, on the site of an ancient place of worship and a medieval castle, it hides many unique secrets within.

The biggest historical problem of the facility has always been the lack of a natural water source at the very top of the mountain. Over the years, various methods were used to cope (including collecting rainwater or transporting water). It was precisely the permanent problems with the water and sewage infrastructure and the failure to meet modern sanitary requirements that forced the managers to close the accommodation base in February 2014. Today, tourists can only buy a hot meal, snacks, or souvenir stamps here.

The current building was created on the initiative and with the funds of Georg Haase, a well-known Wrocław entrepreneur and owner of the powerful Haase Brewery. It was designed by the famous Wrocław architect Karl Klimm. Interestingly, a special, extremely atmospheric banquet hall called the "Pustelnia Ślężańska" (German: Zobtenklause) was set up in the new shelter, where tourists could enjoy beer and relax in a unique atmosphere.

In ancient times, Ślęża was a sacred mountain for many tribes, including the Celts and Slavs. It was a powerful center of sun worship. Interestingly, the surrounding peaks formed a coherent religious system: while the Sun was worshipped on Ślęża, the Moon was venerated on the neighboring Radunia. To this day, stone ritual ramparts surrounding the summit areas are preserved there.

A historic tourist facility located at the summit of Mount Ślęża at 718 meters above sea level, named after Roman Zmorski and listed as a historical monument since 1988. The current stone building was constructed in 1907-1908 under the patronage of the Zobten Mountain Society, replacing earlier wooden structures that had served hikers since 1837. Originally featuring a richly decorated "Zobten Hermitage" hall where mountain society members gathered among hunting trophies, the building now operates as a tourist house providing only catering services due to water supply issues that prevent overnight accommodation!!!

built on the ruins of a medieval Piast castle whose fragments can still be seen in the church's underground crypt. Originally founded in the 12th century by Palatine Piotr Włostowic who brought Augustinian canons from Flanders, the current neo-Romanesque structure dates from 1852 after the previous chapel was destroyed by lightning in 1834.
