About

Tomčeva Koča sits at 1185m in the Pohorje range above Slovenska Konjice, on the border region between Carinthia and Slovenia. The hut lies roughly 2 hours' walk from the village of Slovenska Konjice, accessed via a marked trail that climbs steadily through mixed forest. This is relatively accessible terrain compared to higher Alpine huts—good for walkers seeking a mountain refuge without extreme elevation gain. The surrounding area offers straightforward ridge and forest walking with views across the Pohorje plateau.
The hut provides basic mountain accommodation with room for around 30 guests. Meals are available, focusing on simple fare rather than Alpine cuisine refinement. Water and toilets are functional. The building opens year-round, though winter conditions and snow cover determine actual accessibility. The Pohorje's lower elevation means this hut operates in shoulder seasons when higher huts close.
Book directly by phone or email well ahead for weekends and summer months. The hut fills quickly during July and August as the area attracts weekend hikers from both Austria and Slovenia. Access from Slovenska Konjice is straightforward by car, making it popular for groups and families. Winter access depends entirely on snow conditions and your own winter walking capability—contact the hut before attempting a winter visit.
