Shepherd's hut on Szymoszkowa


Located at the foot of Gubałówka, near Polana Szymoszkowa, the sheepfold is one of the places where you can feel the true atmosphere of Highlander shepherding traditions. The host of the sheepfold is shepherd Józef Król, who preserves long-standing customs related to sheep grazing and the production of regional cheeses.

During the season, traditional oscypek, bundz, and żętyca are made here according to old recipes. The wooden sheepfold, the view of the Tatras, and the sheep grazing nearby create a unique atmosphere that has attracted both locals and tourists visiting Zakopane for years. It is an excellent opportunity to experience the authentic flavors of Podhale and to explore the region's shepherding culture more closely.
