Inquiry

The Pogačnik’s Lodge on Kriški Podi is an extremely popular cottage in an amazing location as it is surrounded by emerald high mountain lakes.

You can continue to Stenar, Križ, Bovški Gamsovec from this lodge. You can also pick the demanding route across Razor and Prisojnik that leads to Vršič. The mountain pass Luknja lies between this path and Triglav, and a technically demanding protected climbing path called Bambergova pot crosses it. So there are definitely some satisfying challenges that advanced mountaineers can bite into if they begin their hike at Pogačnik’s Lodge – we often use it on our multi-day custom tours.

The lodge can accommodate 60 people and has 45 seats in its dining room and in front of the lodge.
