About

Cojzova Koča Na Kokrskem Sedlu sits at 1,793m on Kokrski Sedel (Kocker Sattel) in the Karawanks range between Austria and Slovenia. Reach the hut from the Austrian side via Eisenkappel-Vellach in Carinthia. The approach from Eisenkappel takes roughly 2.5 hours on well-marked trails through mixed forest. The saddle crossing puts you directly on the border ridge, making this a natural stop on longer Karawanks traverses.
The hut is a small, simple facility operated by the OeAV (Austrian Alpine Club). It offers basic dormitory accommodation and serves as a refuge rather than a destination hut. Meals are available when the hut is staffed. The facility operates year-round, though winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk on approach slopes. Capacity is limited, so expect tight quarters during weekends and peak season.
Book by phone well ahead for summer weekends and autumn weeks. Contact the hut directly before attempting a winter visit—seasonal staffing and snow conditions vary. The Kokrski Sedel crossing attracts fit hikers and mountain bikers using the Austrian-Slovenian border routes, so weekend traffic builds quickly. This is a working hut for through-hikers and ridge walkers, not a base for relaxation.
