Hala Kondratowa is located in Tatra National Park, as in every National Park there are certain rules that need to be followed; first of all the visitors must not disturb the inhabitants of the park namely the animals. Therefore we ask you not to feed the native fauna of the Park, it finds its food on its own! Noise is also very disturbing for the animals.

Not only the fauna but also the flora of the Park is strictly protected; do not pick any plants or berries. Respect the nature! This Park is our home, we do our best to live in harmony with all the bigger and smaller inhabitants of the Park. It is a place where our guests can relax and fortify themselves. For you own safety do not forget to inform your family, friends or our staff members if go hiking alone.

The weather in our region is capricious and changes rapidly, therefore we strongly advise you to check the weather forecast before leave the shelter. Take enough water and plan your route reasonably so your back in the shelter before the sunset. Do not forget suitable clothes and equipment such as: map, torch and a compass.

In case of any doubts considering your health condition do not hesitate and call Tatra Volunteer Rescue and Emergency Service (Tatrzanskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe, abbr TOPR): 601-100-300
