      The lodge stands on a terrace on the southern slope of Belščica, which is the northwestern part of the Stol massif. Originally, a mining administrative building stood on this site because iron ore was mined here; before the First World War it housed a German-Austrian outpost: after the war it was taken over by the Carniolan branch of the SPD, which adapted and opened it on 22 July 1923; It was named after Janez Vajkard Valvasor (1641-1693), a writer, printer and publisher of important works for Slovene culture, including the extensive topography "Glory of the Duchy of Carniola. Shortly before World War II, the Carniolan branch of the SPD built a new home. it was opened on June 11, 1939. The partisans burned down the home on April 30, 1943. After the liberation, the fire was taken over by PD Radovljica, which built a new, large home and opened it on June 6, 1954. The home is regularly open from mid-May to late September. otherwise on Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays.

      Views:

      East of the lodge we see the mighty southern slopes of Stol with Žirovniška and Zabreška planina nearby; there is no view to the south and west because it is covered by trees; on the north side of the house rise the steep southern slopes of Belščica. A wider view opens from the nearby abandoned border guard, from where we can see the Gorenjska plain around Radovljica in the south, Jelovica behind, Pokljuka and Julijce with Triglav in the southwest, and the Mežaklo valley in the south on the south and grassy and forested slopes in Jesenice and Belščica with Potoška planina and Debeli brdo.
