About
Planinski Dom Vrhe sits at 908m on Vrh above the Kamniška Bistrica valley in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The hut is a base for hiking the surrounding ridges and peaks. From the village of Kamnik, follow the marked trail up Gradišče and continue to Vrh—allow 2.5 to 3 hours. The route climbs steadily through beech forest. In winter, snow and ice may slow your pace.
The lodge has 40 beds across multiple rooms and serves hot meals including traditional Slovenian food. The PZS-affiliated hut operates year-round and offers basic facilities: water, heating, and a small kitchen. Meals must be ordered in advance. The hut works well as an overnight stop before continuing to higher peaks like Krvavec (1,713m) or as a weekend base for ridge walking. Mobile coverage is reliable.
Book directly with the hut 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends and holidays. July and August see steady traffic. Contact through the PZS website or call ahead to confirm meal availability and bed space. The keeper lives on-site and manages booking informally. Bring cash—card payment is not always available. Winter visits require confirmation that the hut is staffed.
