    The hut stands at the top of the Kokrski sedlo between Grintovec and Kalška gora, which is also a pass between the valleys of Kamniška Bistrica and Kokra. It is named after the brothers Žiga Zois (1747-1819), mentor and patron of Slovenian writers, naturalist, geologist and mineralogist, and botanist Karel Zois (1756-1799). The first hut was built in 1897 by the German-Austrian Mountaineering Association. After the First World War, it was taken over by the SPD, which thoroughly restored it. After the Second World War, it was managed by PD Kamnik. The hut eventually became too small and the tidiness was no longer adequate, so in 1966 it was renovated and enlarged. In 1967, a freight cable car was pulled from Konec in Kamniška Bistrica. In 1986, water was installed from a 900m distant spring and this year they also started building a new large extension. The expansion and renovation of the hut was completed in 1988, and on the occasion of the 95th anniversary of the founding of the Kamnik branch of the SPD, the enlarged and renovated hut was opened on 18 September 1988. PD Kamnik has done a lot in recent years to ensure that the cottage also meets strict environmental criteria, so as part of bilateral cooperation between Austria and Slovenia, it equipped it with a treatment plant and photovoltaic generator and wind farm to replace electricity, which replaces the diesel generator. The cottage is open from mid-June to mid-October.

    View:

    Due to the nearby peaks, the view is wider only to the east and west. In the east, we first see a torrent ravine below the Kokrski sedlo between the walls of Jurjevac on the north and Kalška gora on the south side of the ravine, and for a while we also follow the upper part of the path from Kamniška Bistrica; to the southeast, a view of Velika planina opens up over the Kamniška Bistrica valley; on the south side there is a wall of Kalška gora and the famous Pasja glava nearby; to the west, the view descends over Suhadolnikova planina into the Kokra valley, above which Storžič rises; on the north side we have a beautiful view of Grintovec, and on the left we can also see part of the southern ridge of Kočna.
