Hut na Veliki Poljani

About
Koča na Veliki Poljani sits at 1384m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, on the high pasture of Velika Poljana. The hut lies on the main hiking route between Kamnik and the Савиня Valley, making it a natural stop on multi-day traverses. Most hikers approach from Kamnik (roughly 3–4 hours) or from the south via Logarska dolina. The location works well as a midpoint hut rather than a destination summit base.
The hut is a simple, traditional alpine structure run by PZS. It offers basic dormitory accommodation and serves hot meals to guests and passing hikers. Expect no-frills mountain hospitality: clean beds, hearty food, and a reliable water source. Opening is typically May through October, though spring and autumn weather in this range can be unpredictable. Check conditions before planning an off-season visit. The hut has no electricity or shower facilities—bring a headtorch.
Book directly with the hut or through the PZS website in advance, especially for weekends and July–August. The hut is not crowded by alpine standards, but a day or two's notice is sensible. Phone ahead if your arrival will be late; the warden may not wait past dusk. Payment is cash only.
