Lodge na Jančah

Dom na Jančah sits at 792m in the foothills of the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, serving as a basecamp for day hikes and ridge walks in the Menina Plateau area. The hut lies near the village of Jančev greben, about 90 minutes' drive from Ljubljana. Most hikers approach via marked trails from the Menina Plateau trailhead, taking 1–2 hours depending on your route. The location works well for families or those new to Alpine hiking—elevation gain is modest and routes are well-marked.
The lodge is run by PZS and operates year-round, offering simple accommodation in shared rooms and a small restaurant. Capacity runs to around 40 guests. Half-board is standard; food is basic but hearty. The hut has running water and basic heating. The surrounding forest offers quiet walking in spring and autumn; winter access depends on snow conditions, so check ahead before visiting outside summer. This is a working base, not a high-mountain hut—expect straightforward facilities and a local atmosphere.
Book directly with the hut by phone or the PZS website. Summer weekends fill up, especially July and August; aim to confirm rooms at least 2–3 weeks ahead. Winter visits require advance notice. The hut is popular with school groups, so midweek tends to be calmer. Access is easy by car, so day visits are common if you prefer not to stay overnight.
