About
Koča Breza sits at 1,547m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, serving hikers and mountaineers crossing between the Savinja Valley and Mozirska Dolina. The hut is a 3-hour walk from Luče village via the marked trail past Ščavnica waterfall. Most parties approach from Mozirski Gaj, which takes 2.5 hours uphill. The location is on the Kamniško-Savinjski Prag ridge, making it a logical overnight stop for multi-day traverses.
The hut is run by PZS and operates as a basic mountain shelter with around 20 beds in dormitory rooms. There is no catering—bring all food and fuel. Drinking water is available on-site. The building offers basic weather protection and standard alpine hut amenities. The hut opens year-round, though winter conditions often require good snow and ice experience to reach it safely.
Book through the PZS website or contact the local Luče section directly. July and August attract weekend traffic from Ljubljana, so arrive before noon or contact ahead to confirm capacity. The hut fills most weekends in summer, especially Friday nights. Winter access depends entirely on conditions; check locally before attempting the approach.
