Abstract

Strzecha Akademicka is one of the oldest and best known shelters in the Giant Mountains. The author of the article tries to answer the question of whether in the era of relaxation, based on the maximization of experiences and stimuli, Strzecha Akademicka together with other shelters are able to attract new tourists. Searching for the answer, he presented the history of building, its reconstructions, raised legal problems and related to the status of the facility, as well as the expectations of modern tourists. After such an analysis, he attempted to conclude that, with optimal cooperation of administrative offices, the facility could be adapted to the ergonomic fulfillment of current and new functions.
