About

Planinski Dom na Zelenici sits at 1,536m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, serving as a base for hiking the Zelenica valley and surrounding peaks. The hut is reached in 2.5 to 3 hours from the village of Lukovica, following marked trails through beech and spruce forest. Most hikers approach via the Zelenica stream valley, which offers steady climbing without technical difficulty. The setting is pastoral rather than alpine—meadows and scattered woodland rather than high peaks—making this a good hut for families or those seeking quieter terrain.
The lodge accommodates roughly 50 people in simple dormitory rooms. Meals are available for residents; book your evening meal when you arrive or call ahead. The kitchen provides hearty Slovenian fare. A small shop sells basics like chocolate, energy bars, and drinks. There is no WiFi, so expect genuine disconnection. The hut operates year-round but is quietest from November through March. Winter access depends on snow conditions and avalanche risk; confirm accessibility before visiting in these months.
Contact the hut directly by phone to book beds. July and August fill quickly—book at least 4 to 6 weeks ahead for these months. Weekends are busier than weekdays throughout the year. The PZS maintains the hut, and members receive small discounts. Arrive early in the day if you haven't booked ahead, as the lodge is popular with local hiking groups.
