About

Koča pri Peričniku sits at 753m in the Radovljica area of the Julian Alps, near the Peričnik waterfall. Reach it from the village of Peričnik by hiking 45 minutes on marked trails through beech forest. The hut is also accessible from the Vintgar Gorge side. Most hikers use this location as a base for day walks to the waterfall or as a waypoint on longer routes through the Julian foothills.

The hut has 30 beds across simple dormitory rooms. Meals are available, including packed lunches for hikers. Hot showers and basic facilities are provided. The hut operates year-round, though weekday staffing is limited outside summer months. Book through the PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije) system or contact the hut directly. Weekends in July and August fill quickly.

Book at least 2 weeks ahead for summer weekends. The hut manages reservations through the PZS website or by calling ahead. Winter months are quieter but confirm availability before arriving. Many hikers treat this as a walk-in hut for day visits, which works during quieter periods, but overnight beds require advance notice.
