Ancient hut from 1895 was replaced by the new tourist chalet built in "rustic art nouveau" style by Duan Jurkovič design. The headstone was insert on January 9th 1921 with a great feast and the whole work was finished in 1923. (More details see "Look - out towers of Orlické mountains and foothills")
