While walking toward Kuźnice (6 Przewodników Tatrzańskich Street), you can find another musical bench dedicated to Mieczysław Karłowicz.

He was born on December 11, 1876, in Wiszniewo (in present-day Lithuania) and died on February 8, 1909, in the Tatra Mountains. He was buried at the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw.

He was the son of the linguist and ethnographer Jan Karłowicz and Irena Sulistrowska, a trained singer. He is regarded as one of the greatest Polish symphonic composers, as well as an outstanding mountaineer and skier. Together with Mariusz Zaruski, he initiated the creation of the Tatra Volunteer Search and Rescue Service (TOPR).

Mieczysław Karłowicz first came to Zakopane and the Tatras at the age of thirteen. By 1894, he had climbed, among others, Bystra, Kominiarski Wierch, Świnica, Rysy, and Kościelec, and crossed Gerlach with the guide Jędrzej Wala. In the summer of 1892, he performed two concerts as a violinist in the hall of the former Tatra Manor in Zakopane.

The years 1902–1909 were a period of intensive exploration of the Tatras, often undertaken alone. Among his companions on some expeditions was the famous guide Klimek Bachleda. Together, they climbed peaks such as Jastrzębia Turnia, Mały Kołowy Szczyt, Durny Szczyt, and Pośrednia Grań. However, Karłowicz carried out most of his trips without a guide, making first ascents, for example, of Wielka Kołowa Turnia.

In 1908, together with Mariusz Zaruski, he marked trails to Czarny Mięguszowiecki Szczyt and Niżnie Rysy. The symbol used by Karłowicz was the highlander swastika (a traditional folk motif).

In Zakopane, where he settled permanently in 1907, many of his symphonic works were composed or developed. The Violin Concerto and Eternal Songs are considered to be inspired by the Tatras. Karłowicz is also remembered as an excellent photographer of the mountains. His photographs, as well as objects associated with him (such as the camera with which he took his last pictures of the Tatras), are frequently presented in exhibitions organized by the Tatra Museum.

Mieczysław Karłowicz died on February 8, 1909, in an avalanche that descended from the eastern slopes of Mały Kościelec while he was on a solo ski tour. In the place where his body was found, a commemorative obelisk bearing the inscription Non omnis moriar was erected in 1909 and stands there to this day. Every year, on the anniversary of his death, flowers are laid at the monument.
