Andrejev Lodge na Slemenu

Andrejev Dom sits at 1090m on Slemenu, a forested ridge in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps near Kamnik. Most hikers approach from Kamnik town (about 1 hour walk to the hut). The route climbs steadily through beech forest on marked trails maintained by PZS. You can also reach it from Črnivec or via longer ridge walks from neighboring peaks. The location makes it a popular weekend base for families and casual hikers exploring the lower Alpine foothills rather than serious mountaineers.

The hut is open year-round and run by PZS volunteers. It offers about 50 bed places in a mix of dormitory and small private rooms. Meals include hearty soups, local dishes, and good coffee—the kitchen caters to hikers with straightforward food rather than fine dining. Basic supplies (chocolate, drinks, snacks) are available. Sleeping bag required for dorm beds. The hut has a small terrace facing north toward Kamnik valley.

Book directly by phone or email at least 1 week ahead, especially for weekends. July and August weekends fill regularly with Ljubljana day-trippers. Winter opening depends on snow and volunteer availability—confirm before traveling in December through February. The hut sits on the lower slopes, so access is rarely blocked by conditions, but calling ahead avoids a wasted trip.
