Hut v Krnici

Koča v Krnici stands at 1113m in a forested valley of the Julian Alps, 2.5 hours' walk from Kranjska Gora. The approach follows the Krnica stream through beech and spruce woodland, making it a steady but scenic ascent on well-maintained trail. This is a gateway hut for routes toward Peč, Ojstrica, and the higher peaks of the northern Julian Alps. Most hikers treat it as a base for day walks or a single night on longer traverses.
The hut sleeps 18 across simple rooms and offers hot meals when staffed—check ahead for kitchen availability. Water comes from the stream. It's a working mountain shelter, not a hostel: expect basic comfort and reliable food rather than amenities. The PZS-managed hut operates through the main hiking season (May to October), though opening dates vary by year. Winter access depends on snow conditions and is not reliable.
Book directly by phone well ahead for weekends and July–August. The hut can fill quickly on fine-weather weekends, especially among Slovenian hikers. Weekday visits outside peak season rarely need advance notice. Have a backup plan if your preferred date isn't available—the valley has other accommodation options in Kranjska Gora, 8km downvalley.
