About

Planinsko Zavetišče Slatna sits at 1023m in the Julian Alps, on the approach to Lisca (1593m) and routes toward Stol. The shelter lies on the main hiking path from the village of Slatna, roughly 1 hour 15 minutes on foot from the nearest road access. It functions as a base for day walks across the lower Julian ridges and as a stopping point for longer traverses linking the central peaks. The location works best in summer and early autumn when the trails are reliably clear.
The shelter is basic and unmanned, typical of PZS mountain huts at this elevation. It offers sleeping space for around 20 people on a first-come, first-served basis. There is no food service, running water, or electricity; you carry your own supplies and fuel. The structure provides weather protection and a dry place to sleep. Open year-round, though winter access depends entirely on conditions and your own mountain sense. Check with PD Lisca or local PZS groups before visiting in winter or after heavy snow.
Book by contacting PZS or the local Lisca hiking club directly. This is a popular route during July and August weekends; arrive early if you plan to stay overnight. There is no reservation system—spaces go to whoever arrives first. Bring everything you need: water containers, food, a sleeping bag, and warm layers even in summer. Signal coverage is unreliable, so plan your logistics before you set out.
