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.

We did the two day Triglav tour. Our Guide was Jakob and he was excellent. He taught us a lot about Slovenia and he also cared a lot about the area which was nice to see. He kept us safe, encouraged us and he had good humour. We hiked up to the Krederica Hut and it took us 4 hours. Food there was great! We decided to go for the summit the next morning and it was amazing. Not as intimidating as it looks and totally safe with the via ferrata equipment and a good Guide.

Had the best time on my 1 day hike up Triglav! It was beautiful, my guide Gorazd was friendly and very organized. We started the drive from Bled at 2am since there was rain in the forecast for 12pm. We made it to the summit about 1 hour before the clouds came in and blocked the view. Perfect timing! Speaking with the team over email was also great and they helped me get something booked last minute. Highlight of my trip to Slovenia and maybe of my whole 9 weeks in Europe. If you have the stamina I recommend the 1 day trek. We spent about 11 hours actually hiking but the trail isn’t very demanding.

Had an amazing day with Uroš. He was very friendly and easy to communicate with. Even though he had a child due a few days before we did the climb he was super relaxed and lots of fun to talk to. Made me feel very comfortable the entire time and had lots of information about the location and different history of the area. 10/10 would recommend and a very heartfelt thank you from me for making sure I was safe and we completed the day. I hope one day you can make it to Alaska my friend :)

Our trip this past August was one that we will never forget. Jakub was a fantastic guide who always kept our spirits up, especially with the via ferata. It was our first time climbing a mountain and he kept checking in on us to make sure we were doing ok. 10/10 would recommend!!

A fantastic 3 day self guided Hut to Hut hike around Triglav National Park in Slovenia. We experienced a full range of weather which made it an unforgettable trip. The organisation and back up support with GPS maps etc was excellent. Hut staff were friendly and very happy to give advice and suggestions on the routes and directions. Would recommend.
