PTTKs (Beskidy Red route)

We are planning to walk along the Beskidy Red route from around rabka towards dunajec in late September/early October and stay in mountain PTTKs. Is it necessary to book ahead? Do we need to take bedding? Do they serve breakfast(I know they have main meals etc). is there anything else we should know? Thanks!

Great idea.


Nope. They will always accomodate you, even in the kitchen, so in the morning you will have to pack your stuff up to make room for cooks. :):):)

But don`t worry, the time you want to hike isn`t as busy as summer.


A sleeping bag and a foam mattress is a must in some shelters. You need to check out beforehand.


If you wish and pay, they do.

Here are some facts. All shelters take reservation, some only by phone (especially in summer season), some by email. Some take a non-refundable advance. You will find all the details in the attached links, but only in Polish.

Here are some details in English, which I translated for you.

Thank you to both of you - that is really helpful. We are coming Ryanair (only hand luggage) - we can each probably fit in a sleeping bag but may need to buy a bedroll in Krakow. How much might we pay - and can anyone suggest a good shop to buy from?

I am sure you know Decathlon chain store.

There are two in Krakow: Plaza and Zakopianka

Put in google: decathlon krakow

thanks again!
