Celem artykułu jest zaprezentowanie działalności Górskiego Ochotniczego Pogotowia Ratunkowego w Polsce i zarządzanie bezpieczeństwem turystyki górskiej. W opracowaniu przedstawiono również źródła finansowania ratownictwa górskiego, jak również opinie turystów na temat finansowania ratownictwa górskiego, kar jakie powinno się płacić za fałszywe wezwanie pogotowia górskiego, działalności GOPR-u i edukacji społeczeństwa na tematy bezpieczeństwa w górach. W badaniach zastosowano metodę sondażu diagnostycznego przy wykorzystaniu techniki ankiety bezpośredniej. Ankieta została przeprowadzona wśród 726 turystów zwiedzających góry. Badania uzupełniono metodą analizy dokumentów źródłowych GOPR-u oraz studiami literatury przedmiotowej. Górskie Ochotnicze Pogotowie Ratunkowe pełni bardzo ważną funkcje w zarządzaniu bezpieczeństwem turystyki górskiej: organizuje i prowadzi akcje ratownicze, organizuje szkolenia, kieruje stacjami i punktami ratunkowymi oraz służy pomocą podczas likwidacji skutków katastrof oraz klęsk żywiołowych.

The purpose of this article is presenting the activities of the GOPR in Poland and management of mountain tourism safety. The study also shows mountain rescue funding source, as well as opinions of tourists on the financing of mountain rescue, what penalties should be paid for a false call mountain rescue, activity GOPR and educating the public on the topics of safety in the mountains. The study was conducted diagnostic survey method, using the direct interview technique. The survey was conducted among 726 tourists. The research was supplemented by analysis of source documents. GOPR has a very important function in the management of mountain tourism safety: organizes and conducts rescue operations and organizes training courses for rescues, directs emergency stations, and can help during the liquidation of the consequences of disasters and natural disasters.

The paper presents some insights into the topic of foreign tourists visiting Polish mountains, especially for hiking tours. The author used a method of combining the data gathered from the questionnaire sent to all operators of Polish mountain huts with the analysis of statistical data of PTTK Wisła and a short survey conducted among Czech and Slovak tourists. The result of the study confirmed that the number of foreign tourists participating in hiking in Poland is small and that they are generally unknown as a group. Also, the structure of this group is a bit surprising, as the number of German tourists is comparable or even higher than those from Slovakia and the Czech Republic sharing the same mountain ranges with Poland. Managers of mountain huts do not make much of an effort to attract tourists from abroad. Their main advertising is conducted through their web pages in English. As a result, Slovak and Czech tourists do not perceive the Polish mountains as a good place to hike. There is little consensus as to the reasons for this situation. The responses from the mountain huts managers were inconsistent and inconclusive. Generally, they agree that Polish mountains are attractive site of tourist activity. However, it turns out that the tourists prefer hiking in their own countries where they can find even more attractive and developed areas.

Marian Smoluchowski (1872-1917) was an eminent physicist of international renown. His research in the field of the Kinetic Theory of Matter (e.g. the Brownian motion) contributed to strengthen the nuclear science. He is considered a pioneer of the statistical physics. Childhood and the years of study he spent in Vienna. From an early age, he was associated with mountains and was a prominent mountaineer. Along with his brother, Tadeusz, he climbed many unclimbed peaks in the Eastern Alps: Dolomites, Ortler group and Hohe Tauern. Those achievements passed into the history of Alpine mountaineering. In addition to sports and aesthetic aspects (he painted mountain landscapes), Smoluchowski found his scientific inspirations in the mountains. He was interested in the mechanics of tectonic movements and joined the discussion on the concepts concerning the nappe structure of orogens at the beginning of the 20th century (1909). Research on the physicalfoundations of tectonic movements in the Tatra Mountains, that he planned to undertake, was thwarted by the outbreak of World War I in 1914, and his premature death in 1917.

Cable transport has been used for a long time to move people in difficult terrain, mostly moutainous. Since the beginning of the 20th century, this means of transport is inextricably linked to mountain tourism, especially skiing. Cable cars and ski lifts have become the only means of transport for skiers in ski resorts. The article describes the development of cable transport in mountain areas and the benefits that followed. It also presents two examples of ski resorts, which had a significant contribution to development of tourism and skiing in mountain areas.
