Hut Planinc

Koča Planinc sits at 1,010m on the Pohorje plateau, a low but densely forested mountain range between the Drava Valley and the Savinja Valley. The hut serves as a base for ridge walks and forest trails. Reach it from Vuzenica village in 2–3 hours on marked paths, or from the hamlet of Zgornje Jezersko in under 2 hours. The approach is steady hiking through beech and spruce forest. In winter and spring, snow can make routes slippery, so check conditions before heading out.
The hut is small and simple, sleeping around 20 people in dormitory rooms. Meals are available on weekends and by arrangement on weekdays—bring a packed lunch if you're unsure. Water comes from a spring. The toilet is basic but functional. Opening times shift seasonally, so call ahead outside summer months. The hut is PZS-managed and unmanned for much of the year.
Book in advance through Planinsko društvo Vuzenica (the local hiking club that runs the hut). Contact them a week ahead for weekday visits, especially in summer. Weekends are busy May through September. The hut fills quickly during good weather on Saturdays and Sundays, so don't rely on turning up without notice. Winter access depends on snow and thaw conditions; confirm before attempting a visit.
