About

Lovska Koča na Mali Poljani sits at 1,326m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, on the grassy plateau of Mali Poljani. Reach it from the village of Motnik (near Kamnik) in roughly 2.5 hours on a well-marked path that climbs steadily through forest and pasture. The route is straightforward and suitable for most hikers. Alternative approaches come from Kamniska Bela or via the Kamnická Bistrica valley—check local maps before starting.
The hut is a simple mountain refuge run by PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije). It offers basic dormitory accommodation and serves hot meals—order food ahead when you book. The hut has water, heating, and toilets. Mali Poljani itself is a hiking hub with multiple onward routes: you can reach Turska Gora, traverse to other huts, or loop back down. The location works well for weekend trips from Ljubljana. The hut typically opens spring through autumn; confirm dates before arrival.
Book directly with the hut or through PZS. Phone ahead to reserve a bunk, especially for weekends and summer months. July and August see higher traffic. Winter closure is standard, though the area is accessible for experienced winter hikers with appropriate gear—contact the hut first.
