For a shelter, the food is quite good, especially the sweet snacks - cheesecake, apple pie, normal prices, quite crowded in season and it's better to book accommodation in advance. In good weather, you can eat a meal outside with a beautiful free view of the Tatra Mountains.

From the clearing, views extend to the south and east. With good visibility, you can admire the High Tatras, the Lubań massif, the Pieniny Mountains, the Spisz Magura, parts of the Sądecki Beskids, and the more distant Slovak ranges.

The views of the Tatra Mountains from this mountain hut are jaw-dropping. It's located at the intersection of many trails, including those to Kudłoń, Stare Wierchy, and, of course, nearby Turbacz. Food and drink are available, of course, and accommodations are available too. It's a fantastic place.

Wikipedia says that this peak is "not very outstanding", but I don't know: there are beautiful views of the Gorce Mountains here - just look at the photos: is it not very outstanding?
