Jakub Thern was one of its well-known occupants before World War One. This winter postcard, showing a coachman with a carriage and the pub's staff, comes right from that period, 1910.
Unfortunately, the pub no longer exists. It suffered the fate many of the Tatras' wooden buildings face - it burned down.
