Banisty Żleb


The western slope of Ornak. Breadman first on the left

Baniste Żleb - one of several gulls on the western slopes of Ornak in the Western Tatras. They come from the ridge of Ornak to the Starorobocia Valley. These, counting from the Iława Valley in the south direction, are: Hell, Bankier Żleb, Intermediate Żleb, Graniczniak, Żleb on Pass and Żleb pod Pyszna. Banister's name is derived from the place in the upper part of the so-called banister. Formerly there was a mine in it, or pumpkins. It was one of the oldest mines in the Polish Tatras. The documents are already quoted in 1520 as a company with King Zygmunt I Old, but perhaps it was already in the 15th century, because a document from the second half of the 16th century called it "Old Robot". The name of the mine comes from the name of Starorobociańska Valley. Baltazar Hacquet excavated the mine in antimony-copper ore with an admixture of about 80 g of silver in 100 kg of dredged material and later also of pyrite. The remains of the former mine are 12 already collapsed tunnels, a pit of abandoned crumbs separated from the ore and traces of the mill for the crushing of the ore (on the so-called Młynisku).

In the lower part of Banister Żlebu a small stream flows down to Starostobocia Potok. In the winter a large avalanche goes down.
