Ribniška koča stands on a small plateau just below Mali Črni vrh (1533 m) in the main Pohorje ridge. The predecessor of today's hut was built on the nearby Ribniški sedlo by the Maribor branch of the SPD and opened on July 10, 1932; in thanks to dr. Davorin Senjor (1882-1960), the president of the branch, who was the driving force in the construction, named the outpost "Senjorjev dom. Fighters of the 1st Pohorje Battalion burned the home on October 9, 1942. PD Maribor-matica built a new Ribniška koča hut on the fire site the former Hutter's villas, which began operating in 1946 and were opened on 29 November 1949. In 1971, PD Maribor-matica ceded the PD Radlje ob Dravi hut, which was unable to renovate such a demanding building, so the hut was closed in 1973. Ribniška koča took over the then newly established PD Sladki Vrh in 1976. With the help of donors and a lot of voluntary work of mountaineers members of PD Sladki Vrh, the hut was completely renovated and reopened in 1978. Due to the beautiful building and beautiful view, the hut took the name "Queen of Pohorje mountain lodges".
