About
Zajčeva Koča sits at 742m in the lower Kamnik-Savinja Alps, on the southern slopes of Storžič. The hut is reached from the village of Zgornje Jezerski (allow 1.5–2 hours on foot). The approach follows marked trails through beech forest with steady elevation gain. Zajčeva works as a base for day hikes in the Jezerski area or as a stopping point on longer routes across the range.
The hut offers 30 beds in mixed dorms. Meals focus on Slovenian mountain fare—expect hearty soups, stews, and local cheese. Water comes from a spring. The hut has no electricity or running water inside; toilets are basic. It operates year-round but is quietest in winter months. Staff manage the hut seasonally, so confirm opening dates before visiting. Zajčeva is run by PZS and follows the standards of the Alpine Association of Slovenia.
Book directly with the hut keeper via PZS contact details or the Alpine Association website. Summer weekends and July fill quickly—contact 4–6 weeks ahead for peak season. Half-board (bed and dinner) is standard; breakfast and packed lunches are available. The hut is popular with Slovenian hikers, so expect company on holidays and good weather weekends.
