General survey  Winter ski route from Krma valley
just east and beneath Triglav,
the highest summit of Julian Alps and Slovenia.
At
2515meters/8251 feet it is the highest, largest and arguably,
the most frequented hut in Slovenia,
mostly due to fact
that it is a starting point for summiting mt. Triglav over the
common and the most popular route.
It is also a back-up point
for various multiday traverse routes.
High lying position and
open spaces offering extensive views make this hut even more popular.
You can often see people sitting on the benches
infront of the
hut and simply enjoying the views. On bad weather, they gather inside
the hut's five dining rooms, in the peak season
some will
sleep here as well. In the winter, crowd is gone. Because it is also a
meteorological station, however, meteorologists always prepare some hot meal and
tea for winter visitors. Recently, they got the Plasma TV as well
Today’s
look is from 1984. In 1992 chapel was erected next to the hut.
Every hour its bell rings. Actually, bell can be triggered
by
pulling the outside rope, something that was occasionally
misused even
in the midde of the night, by guys having beer or two to many,
to
the enjoyment of people sleeping in the nearby annexe. Annexe is
between the chapel and the main building, mixed rooms and
bunks,
and with own toilets, so there is no need to run to the
main toilets in the middle of the night.
