%X Sa£¿etak Based on the records in the newspapers of that time and the annual reports of the Austrian Tourist Club (£¿sterreichischer Touristen-Club ¨C £¿TC) from Vienna, the construction of a shelter (in German Schutzhaus) on the Poklon overpass and other supporting facilities used primarily for hikers but also other tourists and travelers via the Poklon overpass are being reconstructed. The construction formed the Poklon overpass as the focal point of events and marked the beginnings of organized tourism on the U£¿ka mountain. The second part of the paper presents the first representations of the U£¿ka, that is, the Poklon overpass and ¡°Schutzhaus¡± after a period of construction that played a different role ¨C the formation of an image of the Poklon overpass and the U£¿ka mountain traveling around the world. Representations in press, books, photographs and postcards were analyzed. These first representations reflect the increased interest of visitors as well as the tourism and hospitality industry that began to develop on the U£¿ka. The development of the Poklon and the U£¿ka at that time (late 19th and early 20th century) coincides with the population peak in the settlements Vela and Mala U£¿ka. This prosperous period lasted relatively briefly, but the development of the Poklon overpass and the U£¿ka maintained its continuity and thereafter until the Second World War which tragically interrupted it
