Koča pod Bogatinom Mountain Hut

Koča pod Bogatin is located in a vast basin with Na Kraju mountain, which has a central location at the transition from Spodnja to Lepo Komna. The hut was built by the Bohinj branch of the SPD on the foundations of a former Austrian military hospital, where wounded soldiers were treated during the battles on Krno in the First World War. The hut was opened on August 7, 1932. On the hill next to the hut, a pyramid was built from natural stone blocks in memory of the dead soldiers who are buried here. After liberation, the cottage was taken over by the PD Bohinj-Srednja vas, which renovated and opened it at the beginning of March 1947. Electricity was installed in 1951, and in 1959 the cottage was renovated and its capacity increased. Later, the cottage was renovated several times and gradually better equipment was installed, and in 1981 it was thoroughly renovated. Also in 1991 and 1992, it was renovated again and the interior was improved.

View: The Komne plateau is surrounded by high mountains like an amphitheater. Therefore, we have a beautiful view of the mountains and peaks around the plateau. On the eastern side, we see Dom na Komna on the edge of the plateau; in the south they hug the Spodnja Bohinjska gora plateau, we can see the peaks of Podrta gora, Tolminski Kuk, Mahavšček (Velike Bogatin) and Bogatin; on the western side north of Bogatin is the Vratca pass (Bogatinsko sedlo), in front of it the Gracija valley, and above it Srednji vrh from the Lanževica massif; the view to the north is obscured by the nearby edge above the mountain Na Kraju, through which the path leads to the Valley of the Triglav Lakes.
