About
Koča pri slapu Mostnice sits at 732m in the Triglav National Park foothills of Friuli Venezia Giulia, on the edge of Slovenia near the Italian border. The hut lies directly beside the Mostnica waterfall in a narrow gorge—the main draw here. Reach it by hiking 1.5 hours from the village of Stara Fužina, following the river upstream through beech forest. The trail is well-marked and moderate, gaining just 200m elevation. This is lowland Alpine terrain, not high mountain hiking.
The hut offers 45 beds across basic dormitory rooms. Meals are available—expect simple Slovenian mountain fare. Water comes from the river. The hut runs year-round but weekends fill quickly from April through October. Facilities are functional rather than comfortable: no shower, squat toilets, wood-heated common room. This is a working hut for hikers passing through, not a resort destination.
Book direct by phone or email. The hut sits in Slovenia despite its Italian administrative region location, so contact through Slovenian channels. Weekends, especially May through September, fill weeks ahead. Solo weekday visits are usually possible with minimal notice. Bring cash—card facilities are limited. The hut closes for maintenance in November some years, so confirm before traveling.

Frequently Asked Questions
Book 2–4 weeks ahead during summer weekends; weekdays have more availability. Contact the hut directly by phone or email, or use Slovenian booking platforms like booking.com or the hut's own website—it's a Slovenian hut, not Italian-run, so Italian platforms like rifugi.net won't list it.
Typically open April through October, with full staffing June through September; shoulder months may have limited hours. Check with the hut before visiting outside summer.
