Mengeška Hut na Gobavici

Mengeška Koča na Gobavici sits at 432m in the lower Kamnik-Savinja Alps, well south of the main ridge. The hut serves as a base for day walks and short routes in this forested, less-visited corner of Slovenia. Reach it from Mengeš village: follow marked trails northeast through mixed woodland for roughly 1.5 hours. The approach is straightforward but muddy after rain. The hut works best as a staging point for local loop walks rather than a leg on a multi-day traverse.
The hut is small and basic, run by PZS. It offers beds and simple meals—expect traditional Slovenian fare cooked to order. Water comes from a spring; toilets are basic. The hut operates year-round but check ahead in winter, as staffing can be irregular. This is quiet walking country: beech forests, gentle ridges, no rock scrambling. Bring a map—waymarking is adequate but not exhaustive.
Contact PZS directly or call ahead before visiting. The hut sees few through-hikers, so solo trips are usually possible without booking. Weekend groups should reserve a day in advance. Parking is available near Mengeš.
