Before the K\u013ea\u010dianska Magura Cottage was built, the Lamo\u0161 Shelter was constructed.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

The Vr\u00fatky branch of the K\u010cST (Club of Czechoslovak Tourists) decided to build the \"K\u013ea\u010dianska Shelter on Magura near Vr\u00fatky\" right at the upper edge of the forest meadow at an elevation of 1,175 meters above sea level. It was successfully completed on May 1, 1927. The individuals who contributed the most to its construction were Alojz Ta\u0161ner, the director of the local school, and railway officials Adolf Roubal and Dion\u00fdz Lamo\u0161.<\/p>

The ceremonial opening of the shelter took place at the beginning of August 1927, with sixty-eight people in attendance, including guests from Moravia and the Czech lands. The log, two-story building cost just under 11,000 crowns, and stone and wood from the nearby area were used for its construction. The tables, benches, stove, and kitchen equipment were made and carried up by the hikers themselves. The walls were decorated with framed photographs by Mr. Unger from Lazov. Sleeping arrangements were in the attic, which provided space for twenty beds. In the first month alone, four hundred and fifteen tourists from all over Czechoslovakia stayed overnight in the shelter. The keys to the shelter were handed out to interested visitors by A. Ta\u0161ner and D. Lamo\u0161. The fee for an overnight stay was voluntary.<\/p>

In 1930, the K\u013ea\u010dianska Shelter was expanded with an annex and a woodshed, increasing its capacity by twelve beds. That same year, a green-marked trail was built and marked from the shelter to a water source, which was later extended from Tur\u010dianske K\u013ea\u010dany to the summit of Such\u00fd. After the death of the first caretaker, D. Lamo\u0161, the shelter was renamed the Lamo\u0161 Shelter (he served as caretaker from 1926 to 1928 and again in 1935).<\/p>

Other caretakers included R. Scheda (1929 \u2013 1932), K. \u0160tanzel (1933 \u2013 1934), J. Telehani\u010d (1935 \u2013 1939), and J. Jelen\u010d\u00edk (1941 \u2013 1944).<\/p>

In 1935, the shelter was expanded again, adding a second kitchen equipped with utensils, and the sleeping capacity increased to forty beds. The price for an overnight stay was 3 K\u010ds, and in winter, 5 K\u010ds. The keys to the shelter could be picked up from Bohumil Prok\u0161a, a provisions merchant near the Vr\u00fatky railway station. On weekdays, the key was available from barber E. Cag\u00e1n at his barbershop in Vr\u00fatky. An interesting tradition from the past was the annual religious services held in the meadow below the shelter during the \"Days of the Mountains.\" Visitors to the shelter were greeted by the inscription: \"What was created with love, let good will preserve.\" In March 1943, the shelter applied for classification as a taproom, stating that \"\u2026 we serve and sell small quantities of distilled alcoholic beverages.\"<\/p>

The Lamo\u0161 Shelter (like other cottages in Mal\u00e1 Fatra) was burned down by German soldiers on October 28, 1944, and was never rebuilt.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

After the war, the reconstruction of destroyed cottages began, including the replacement of the Lamo\u0161 Shelter, which had been burned down. The construction of the K\u013ea\u010dianska Magura Cottage started in September 1948, and it was handed over for use as early as January 1949. It was situated slightly lower, at the site of the natural water flow from a captured spring. The architect was Karol Koza. As much as possible, materials from the vicinity of the construction site were used. The construction costs amounted to 1,426,128.20 K\u010ds. The cottage provided seventy beds in several rooms and a shared dormitory. It had its own electric lighting generated by an aggregate, a water supply, and heating provided by stoves. The most well-known caretakers of the cottage were M. Zimen Sr. and Jr., followed by Gejza Bur\u010d\u00edk (who was also the caretaker at the Chata pod Such\u00fdm), and later Kostra, Kri\u017ean, Koh\u00fat, Revick\u00fd, Chromec Sr. and Jr., and \u0160\u00fatovec.<\/p>

In 1951, the cottage was administratively transferred to the ownership of the Unified Physical Education Organization Sokol.<\/p>

Between 1950 and 1965, the most challenging slalom ski race in Slovakia, The Mal\u00e1 Fatra Cup, was held on Magura. The race course started above the current cottage, with the finish line located in the Pir\u0165a valley.<\/p>

In 1955, the first ski lift in the Turiec region was built near the cottage, stretching from Dlh\u00e1 l\u00faka to the cottage. The lift's pulleys were partially mounted on trees, and it was powered by a diesel engine called Turdus. Between 1957 and 1960,
a project was developed for the construction of a new chairlift. It was planned to have 21 supports and 86 chairs, running from the K\u013ea\u010dianska valley to the cottage, with an elevation gain of 400 meters and a length of 1,100 meters. However, the construction was not realized due to financial issues.<\/p>

The cottage at K\u013ea\u010dianska Magura has been renovated and modernized several times, and it is currently in operation year-round.<\/p><\/div>\n \t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
