About
Dom na Paškem Kozjaku sits at 960m on Paškem Kozjak in the Pohorje range. The hut is accessible from the village of Ruše, approximately 1.5 hours on foot via marked trails. The main approach follows the ridge path through beech and spruce forest, gaining steady elevation through moderate terrain. Winter access becomes difficult due to snow, so plan visits between May and October.
The hut provides basic accommodation for around 20 people in mixed dorm rooms. Meals focus on traditional Slovenian mountain fare—soups, stews, and bread. Running water and simple toilet facilities are available; showers are not. The PZS manages the hut as a working base for hikers exploring Pohorje's network of trails. The hut closes during heavy snow periods and operates reduced hours in shoulder seasons, so confirm opening dates before visiting.
Book accommodation directly with the hut keeper by telephone or email (contact details through the PZS website). July and August are busy, especially weekends—reserve at least 2 weeks ahead for July. June and September offer quieter hiking with good weather stability. The hut expects self-sufficiency regarding bedding and towels; bring your own or arrange rental in advance.
