Overview

Schronisko PTTK w Dukli (the PTTK Shelter in Dukla) is a former tourist hostel and excursion house located in Dukla in the Beskid Niski (Lower Beskids) region of Poland. It occupied a townhouse on the Dukla market square at number 18. The building was rebuilt in 1969 and until 1971 housed a small municipal hotel. Because of low interest, the Miejskie Rada Narodowa (Town National Council) in Dukla transferred the building to PTTK, which first established a tourist station there and later a shelter. PTTK carried out renovations and in 1975 opened the café "Złoty Gil" in the building. In addition to the café, the shelter had a tourist buffet and a common room. Around 1980 the facility offered 50 beds in multi-person rooms. Today the property is described as "guest rooms" and is managed by Bieszczadzkie Schroniska i Hotele PTTK Sp. z o.o. w Sanoku. The shelter, referred to as a "petetek", is mentioned in Andrzej Stasiuk's 1997 novel "Dukla". The official website lists contact details at Dukla, Rynek 9, 38-450 Dukla, with telephone numbers and email ptsm@schronisko-dukla.pl. The facility is associated with PTTK, Poland's long-standing tourist and sightseeing society, and serves hikers on routes such as Dukla – zbocza Chyrowej leading to the Main Beskid Trail.
