Hut na Blegošu

Hut na Blegošu sits at 1391m on Blegošu, a limestone massif in the southern Julian Alps. Reach it from the village of Radovljica (north of Bled) via the marked trail to Ojstrica (1,535m), then continue 45 minutes to the hut. Most hikers approach from Radovljica, a 2.5-hour walk from the trailhead. The hut is also accessible from Bohinjska Bistrica to the south, though this adds another hour. The limestone terrain is exposed in places—scrambling skills help but aren't essential.
The hut operates as a simple mountain shelter managed by PZS. It has around 30 beds in dormitory-style rooms and serves basic hot meals, snacks, and drinks. Water comes from a spring nearby. There's no electricity, heating, or shower. The hut opens year-round but staffing and food availability drop significantly outside summer months. Phone ahead in winter. Blegošu's exposed position makes it windy and occasionally clouds in; the views across the Julian Alps and toward Bled reward clear days.
Book direct by phone well ahead for July and August weekends. The hut fills quickly during peak season as it's a popular base for walks across the limestone plateau and scrambles to higher peaks like Ojstrica and Oclej. Weekend crowds can be heavy. Outside summer, simply showing up works fine. Bring a headtorch and warm layers; weather changes fast at this elevation.
