Planinska Hut na Uskovnici
4.3Planinska Koča na Uskovnici
About
Planinska Koča na Uskovnici sits at 1,154m on the southern slopes of the Julian Alps, near the village of Srednja vas in Bohinj. The hut is a base for day hikes into the Uskovnica valley and surrounding limestone terrain. Approach from Srednja vas takes 1.5 to 2 hours on a clear path through beech forest. The route climbs steadily but is well-marked and suitable for competent walkers carrying a day pack.
The hut has 35 beds split across several rooms. The PZS-affiliated hut serves warm meals and drinks daily during the season. Water comes from a spring. The basic facilities include a small kitchen and outdoor seating area. Opening dates vary by season—expect operation from late spring through early autumn, with weekends likely open in shoulder months. Check directly with the manager before planning a winter visit.
Contact the hut by phone to confirm availability and book beds, particularly for weekends and July-August. Phone booking is essential; do not assume walk-in capacity. Weekend availability fills quickly, especially in summer. Book at least 3 to 4 weeks ahead for peak season visits. Outside July and August, booking 1 to 2 weeks ahead is usually sufficient. The hut is maintained by PD Srednja vas v Bohinju, the local hiking club affiliated with the Slovenian Alpine Association.
