A hiker's outpost on the crossroads in the heart of Julian Alps

Capacity

70 People

Season

From May to October

The main advantage of the Vodnik Lodge is its location – it is situated at the crossroads of routes that lead to Pokljuka, Krma, Bohinj, Dolič, and Planika, so it’s truly a great starting point for a hiking adventure. The lodge was built at the end of the 19th century and was named after the Slovenian Enlightenment poet Valentin Vodnik, to commemorate the hundredth anniversary of his ascent of Small Triglav.

The lodge has its own drinking water source and is a great Alpine post where you can rest and get something to eat when hiking to or from cabins that lie higher up in the mountains. It’s also a good stopping point to spend the night on hut to hut tours. The lodge can accommodate 70 people and has 50 seats in its dining rooms and in front of the lodge.

We can’t express how much we love our guide, Luka! He is exceptionally well-organized and experienced(having climbed Triglav since he was just 11, impressive). He managed our expectations and kept us updated on the weather conditions, pace, and rest points, so we always knew how we were progressing, even as first-time Triglav climbers. Thanks to his professionalism, we had the perfect timing and enjoyed the best possible moment on Triglav. We have seen the ibex, cattle, rainbow, sunrise… This is truly one of our most unforgettable experiences in Slovenia!

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!!
