‘Since I was 13, I have been wandering around shepherd's huts. That's more than 30 years now,' confesses Tomasz Król, a senior shepherd. But as he assures, he wouldn't choose any other life. Throughout his shepherding career, he has helped out at various shepherd's huts in Nieznajowa and Regietów in the Low Beskids and the Tatra Mountains. Since 1997 he has run a shepherd's hut in Harenda together with Andrzej Kluś, and now he is on his own. Every year he pastures around 400 sheep, including 75 of his own. He has completed a senior shepherd's course. He is mainly responsible for making gołki, whose taste is not inferior to the most famous oscypek and, according to connoisseurs, it is often more delicate and sublime. Gołki are also best served hot, e.g. grilled, and are also cheaper than the flagship product. Zakopane's Harenda is thus known not solely to skiers in winter, but also to gourmets of highlander culinary delights in summer. So instead of buying oscypki at Krupówki in Zakopane, you can find a genuine highlander shepherd's hut close by.
