About

Tomčeva Koča sits at 1,185m in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, in the Savinja Valley near the village of Solčava. The hut is accessible by car via a rough forestry road (passable in summer, impassable in winter), or on foot from Solčava in about 1.5 hours. Most hikers use it as a base for traversing the ridge between Ojstrica (1,610m) and Raduha (1,594m), or for day walks through the beech forest to nearby Alpine meadows. The setting is pastoral rather than dramatic—surrounded by mixed forest and open slopes that feel less crowded than higher Julian Alps huts.
The hut is run by the PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije) and offers simple dormitory accommodation for around 30 people. Meals are available if you book ahead; the kitchen serves hearty local fare. Water comes from a spring. There are no showers. The hut operates year-round, though snow and access roads can be impassable December to March. Summer months (June through September) are busy with Slovenian weekend hikers, particularly Saturday and Sunday.
Book directly with the hut by phone or through the PZS website. Contact details are available through the main PZS office. Reserve at least 2–3 weeks ahead for weekends in July and August. Weekday visits in shoulder seasons require only a few days' notice. The hut is popular with Slovenian school groups in spring and autumn, so check the calendar before planning group visits.
