Currently it's a modern touristic complex, comfortable on summer, warm on winter with magnificent views from room windows. Old Shelter, also known as Wozownia – currently an oldest existing shelter in polish Tatras, is situated not far from New Shelter and has functioning accommodations. Morskie Oko is a largest and most beautiful Tatra lake, surrounded by highest peaks of polish Tatras. It lays in a gorge, part of Rybi Potok Valley, since the old lake name was Rybi Staw (Fish Pond) because of a trout living in its waters.
