Lipowska Hall

Opis miejsca

Extensive hall located on the south-eastern slope of Lipowski Wierch (1324 m), at an altitude of 1180-1290 m above sea level. The name of the hall probably comes from the lime trees that used to grow here. On the upper edge of the hall, under the forest is the PTTK shelter on Hala Lipowska. It was built in 1931 by the Bielsko section of the Beskidenverein, breaking the previously concluded agreement with PTT on the division of competences in the development of the Beskids. There is a wooden cross in the hall, at which formerly masses were celebrated for shepherds from this hall and from other surrounding areas. At present, the cross was renewed, a chapel was built next to it and a commemorative boulder was installed, at which the Road of Light commemorates the bishop of Kraków Karol Wojtyła who visited Hala Lipowska.
