About

Dom Dr. Klementa Juga sits at 700m in the lower Julian Alps near Nova Gorica, at the junction between the Tolminc and Bača valleys. The hut is a base for day hikes into the surrounding limestone hills and serves walkers on longer routes through the region. Most visitors approach from Nova Gorica on foot—allow 2 to 3 hours depending on your route and fitness. By car you can drive partway up the access road, cutting walking time substantially.

The lodge holds 54 beds split across multiple rooms. Meals are available daily during the season; the kitchen prepares hearty Slovenian fare and packed lunches on request. Hot showers and basic dormitory facilities are standard. The hut is managed by PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije) and the local Nova Gorica hiking club. It opens year-round but confirm availability before winter visits, as staffing can be limited in the quieter months.

Book ahead for weekends and July–August. Contact the hut directly by email or phone to reserve beds and confirm meal service. If calling from outside Slovenia, use the international dialing code +386. The hut lies close enough to Nova Gorica that day visitors often make the trip from town, so early booking helps secure space during busy periods.
