About

Gašperjeva Hut sits at 435m on the slopes of Veliki Kozji in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, roughly 1 hour's walk from the village of Kamnik. Park in Kamnik and follow the marked trail toward Veliki Kozji (1,056m). The hut serves as a logical base for day walks in this forested limestone terrain, where steep ravines cut through beech woodland. Most visitors combine a morning climb to Veliki Kozji with an afternoon descent, or use the hut as a waypoint on longer routes connecting into the Kamnik Alps.
The hut is run by PZS and provides basic accommodation in a simple alpine setting. Capacity is modest (around 15 beds), with dormitory-style sleeping and shared facilities. The hut serves hot meals and drinks; bring cash. Opening is seasonal, typically April through October on weekends and public holidays, with full hours during peak summer. Water comes from a spring nearby. The hut has no electricity supply and relies on basic heating, so bring a warm layer even in summer.
Book directly with the hut keeper via the PZS website or contact the Kamnik tourist information office. Weekend slots fill quickly in July and August, especially in good weather. Weekday visits are quieter and easier to arrange on shorter notice. The hut is not staffed daily year-round, so confirm hours before heading out.
