    We started the walk here, with a delicious cup of coffee first. They are super friendly and dog friendly here. If you are used to NL or DE prices, it won't cost you a penny here.

      Mariborska koča is a mountain hut high on a plateau in the Pohorje Hills above Maribor. The hut has a chequered history, having been burnt down during the Second World War and subsequently rebuilt. Today, it enjoys wonderful views of the rolling green landscape. Just a short hike away from the hut is Slap Skalca, a mightily impressive cascade.

      Bear in mind, the hut is closed on Mondays and Tuesdays.

        The hut stands on a small plateau on the southern side of the Pohor ridge below Reški vrh (1142 m) and Ledinek's cone (1182 m). The first hut on this site was opened in 1913 by the German Mountaineering Society from Maribor. After the First World War, it was bought by the Maribor branch of the SPD on July 16, 1921, and after remodeling it was ceremonially opened on May 14, 1922. The hut in which the Germans had a military post during the occupation was burned down by the partisans on September 3, 1944. Mountaineers from Maribor built a new hut on the old foundations and opened it on July 14, 1946. The outside of the hut is still the same as it was when it was opened, but the inside was improved a lot later. The cottage is open all the time.

        A little further from Mariborska koča stands a monument to Ivan Šumljak - the father of the Slovenian Alpine Route. Professor Ivan Šumljak, born in Žalec, is considered one of the most important organizers of modern Slovenian mountaineering. After the Second World War, he was the head of the marking section of the Maribor - Matica Mountain Society for two decades. It was while performing this work that he came up with an idea, which he announced for the first time at a gathering of Marxists in June 1950. He proposed the "Slovenian mountain transversal no. 1" from Maribor to Koper. In 1953, the route, which starts at the foot of the Pohorje in Radvanje near Maribor, continues through the Pohorje, the Kamnik-Savinja Alps, the Karavanki, the Julian Alps, the pre-Alpine hills, the Karst, and ends in Ankaran by the Adriatic Sea, was also officially opened.
