- Reachable from the PTTK trail to Magurka Wilkowicka, but also via other routes besides the access road.
- Easiest to approach through the forest on the side, avoiding the main gate.
- Entry to the building usually via a hole or dug-out passage into the basement, then up the stairwell.
- Entry holes are regularly bricked up by the owner, then re-opened again by visitors.
- As of late September 2026 the situation is unclear - fence is broken but entry inside is uncertain.
- No cameras seen on site itself, but municipal cameras are mounted on streetlights on the nearby street.
- Municipal guards and police patrol the area, though many visitors get in unnoticed.
- One local resident with a dog approached visitors and was unfriendly.
- Some local residents reportedly call police when they see people at the site.
- The building is huge and completely stripped - mainly bare foundations and stairs remain.
- The basement is partly flooded, especially the lowest level.
- Upper floors have holes in the flooring, and railings are missing in places on the stairs.
- The structure is strained - raised concrete suggests risk of collapse.
- A separate abandoned chimney from the old boiler house stands right next to the site.
- The main draw is the view from the roof and upper floors over the surrounding mountains.
- The building's architecture is considered interesting despite being empty inside.
- Graffiti can be seen on some floors.
- Best to leave the car near the nearby street, close to the turning loop/parking.
- Better to enter from the forest side than the main road to avoid cameras.
- Watch out for holes in the floors and missing stair railings.
- In rain the dug entrance becomes slippery and unsafe.
- The place is popular, so other visitors may be encountered.

Byłem 8.03.2026 . Niestety w poniedziałek 9.03.2026 jak byłem na miejscu to właściciel lub ktoś od niego zamurowywał wejściową dziurę na klatkę schodową. Trzeba będzie pewnie chwilę odczekać zanim miejscowi znowu się przebiją :)
P.S. Schodząc ze Stalownika tuż przy przystanku widziałam wjeżdżającw auto policji. Nie mam pewności czy chodziło o małolata, którego zgarnęła ekipa nieoznaczonym autem na Żywieckiej kawałek dalej czy może jednak uchwyciła mnie kamera, lecz gdyby to była kamera to mieli szansę mnie jeszcze chwycić, bo i tak czekałam na autobus przystanek dalej.
Jest z tylu prowizoryczna linka i sciana po ktorej pewnie bez wiekszego problemu da sie wspiac, ale niestety do nie dla mnie. Sam obiekt na pewno warty odwiedzenia, ale trzeba sie liczyc z wspinaczka po scianie/
