The Czech Lodge at Spodnje Ravni (Slovene: Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh; 1,542 meters or 5,059 feet) is a mountain hostel that stands on the Spodnje Ravni Cirque above the Ravni Combe (Ravenska kočna) below the northern part of Mount Grintovec and the Long Ridge (Dolgi hrbet). It has been named after the Czechs from Prague who built it in 1900. In the 1970s, it was renovated, but the Czech architectural style remained. It is managed by the Jezersko Mountaineering Club (PD Jezersko). Its groundskeeper was for 40 years Andrej Karničar, then for 10 ten years Tone Karničar, and since July 2015 Karmen Karničar.
