Planinski Lodge na Boču

Planinski Dom na Boču sits at 651m on the slopes above Žiri in the Kamnik-Savinja Alps. The hut is a 2-hour walk from Žiri town (take the marked trail toward Ratitovec). Most hikers approach from the Ratitovec direction, which adds another 2–3 hours depending on your starting point. The location works as a base for day trips into the lower Julian foothills or as a stop on longer ridge walks toward Ratitovec (1,664m).
The hut is run by PZS and has space for around 30 people in mixed dormitory rooms. Meals are available on request—book ahead if you plan to eat here, especially on weekends. The hut operates year-round, though facilities are basic: expect running water and heating rather than hot showers or luxury. Cell signal is reliable. The setting is quiet and forested, popular with local hikers and families doing weekend walks rather than serious alpine routes.
Book meals and accommodation directly with the hut by phone or email at least one day ahead, longer if you're coming for a weekend. July and August draw weekend crowds from Ljubljana, so plan accordingly. The hut is accessible in all seasons but can be muddy in spring.
