Vodnik Hut at Velo Polje (1817 m)

Highlight • Mountain Hut

The lodge stands on a small terrace at the foot of the western slope of Tosca just above Veli polje. The first wooden hut was built by the Radovljica branch of the SPD. In memory of the 100th anniversary of the ascent of the Slovene poet Valentin Vodnik (1758-1819) to Mali Triglav, on August 20, 1795, it was named Vodnikova koča; the grand opening was on August 19, 1895, and the cottage was operated by the SPD. In 1909, the hut was torn down, moved to its present location, enlarged and lined with wood. The hut was repaired several times, but it was slowly decaying. After the Second World War, it was taken over by PD Bohinj-Srednja vas. Due to the dilapidation of the hut and the increasing number of visitors, they decided to build a new outpost. It was built between 1954 and 1958 and inaugurated on August 31, 1958; at the opening it was renamed Vodnikov dom. Later, the home was repaired and the interior decorated several times, and a major renovation was carried out in 1986, when the stone facade was also covered with shingles. The home is open from mid-June to late September.

View:

From the home there is a very nice view of Triglav and the surrounding peaks. On the east side of the home rise the western slopes of Tosca; on the south and west side lies Velo polje, which is bordered on the south by the peaks of the Fužine mountains Mali, Jezerski and Prevalski Stog, and on the west side by the characteristic Mišelj peak; in the northwest we have a beautiful view of Šmarjetna glava and Triglav; on the plateau below Triglav we see Dom Planika, to the right of Mali Triglav the Triglavski dom on Kredarica; north of the hut rises Vernar near.

The food is amazing !!!! Starting with the best apple strudel I've ever tasted, the best goulash ... would move in here just for the food. But the rooms are super nice and the starting point perfect for a Triglav ascent.
