About
Koča na Bohorju sits at 896m on Bohorj mountain in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, roughly 40km northeast of Ljubljana. The hut anchors several day hikes across the forested ridge: Bohorj itself (1,030m, 2–3 hours round trip from the hut), Račeva Peč, and connecting routes to Raduha via Brina Peč. From the parking area near Šmartno pri Litiji, allow 1.5–2 hours to reach the hut on marked trails. The area suits hikers who want genuine forest walking without extreme elevation gain.
The hut is run by PZS (Planinska zveza Slovenije). It offers 50 beds in multiple rooms, a restaurant serving Slovenian meals, and basic facilities. Water and electricity are reliable. The hut is open year-round but staffing is lighter mid-week and in winter; confirm ahead if you're planning a weekday visit outside summer. Overnight stays and day visits are both welcome.
Book directly with the hut by phone or email. Weekend visits in July–August require 1–2 weeks' notice. Winter weekends fill faster than you'd expect given the modest elevation. Arrive mid-morning if you're uncertain about availability on the day.
