About
Dom na Menini Planini sits at 1,453m on Menina Planina, a high pasture in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The hut lies roughly 2.5 hours' hiking from Podolševa (parking and PZS trailhead access). Most approach routes come from the south via Strmec or from the west via Kamnik. Trail conditions are good and well-marked, making this a popular day-trip destination from the valleys below.
The lodge offers 50 beds split across multiple rooms and can feed 60 people. The kitchen serves hot meals and basic supplies; bring cash. The hut opens year-round but verify conditions in winter—snow can cut off road access to the trailhead. Facilities are simple: running water, basic toilets, and heating in the main rooms. This is working mountain terrain, not a resort—expect function over comfort. The PZS manages the property.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email. Summer weekends (July to September) fill quickly; contact 1–2 weeks ahead if you have a group. Winter bookings require confirmation of road conditions and staffing. The hut sits on several longer routes linking the Kamnik and Savinja valleys, so solo walkers pass through regularly. Expect a mix of day-trippers and overnight hikers.
