The PTTK shelter "Pod Biskupią Kopą" is located at an altitude of 850 meters above sea level, near the summit of Biskupia Kopa in the Opawskie Mountains Landscape Park. Biskupia Kopa is the highest elevation of the extensive Jeseníky massif – part of the Eastern Sudetes. Biskupia Kopa owes its name to its former owners – the bishops of Wrocław, who received it and the surrounding lands from the Hungarian King Matthias Corvinus in the second half of the 15th century. From the top of the mountain, a panorama of the Czech town of Zlaté Hory, the mountain ranges of the Jeseníky with their highest peak Praděd (1492 m), and a view of Głuchołazy and Nysa stretch out. The initiator of building the shelter was the Silesian Sudeten Mountain Society, and its designer was its member, Georg Döring – a municipal builder from Prudnik. The shelter was opened in 1923. After 1945, the facility was named "Pod Biskupią Kopą", and two decades later, it was named after Bohdan Małachowski, a tourism activist from Kraków. To this day, it remains a popular place not only for accommodation but also for social gatherings.
