Ostrý mountain hut

Ostrý mountain hut (Czech: Chata Ostrý) is a small mountain lodge situated just southwest below the summit of Ostrý in the Moravian-Silesian Beskids, within the municipality of Košařiska in the Frýdek-Místek District of the Czech Republic. It is owned by KČT Třinec, a local branch of the Czech Tourist Club. The hut provides 19 beds in rooms for 3, 4 and 6 people, along with a dining room and buffet. It is open year-round and is accessible via several marked hiking trails and a cycling route. The hut was opened in 1935, the last and smallest of its kind in that part of the Beskids. During World War II it was taken over by the Beskidenverein and administered by the Těšín section under the name "Schutzhaus auf dem Ostry". At the end of the war it was occupied by the German army, which damaged it by stabling horses inside. After the war the hut was renovated, and further repairs and an expansion took place in 1963. Ten summer cottages were built on the clearing near the hut to supplement accommodation, but they did not survive due to low interest and adverse weather. The hut has been fully electrified. Today the hut continues to operate, with ongoing reconstruction work carried out while the hut remains open. A transparent bank account was established for its restoration. The hut is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists exploring the Beskids, offering simple accommodation and refreshments in a quiet natural setting away from the bustle of cities.
