The Planika Lodge at Triglav (Dom Planika pod Triglavom; 2401 m) is a mountain hut, which lies on the Ledine plains on the southern side of Mount Triglav. The First hut, also called the Triglav Tempe ([Triglavski tempelj] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)), was built on 18 September 1871. In 1877, the Austro-German hiking club built a hut called the Maria Theresa Hut (German: Maria Theresia-Hütte; Slovene: [Koča Marije Terezije] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). On 13 August 1911, there was another building added called the Maria Theresa Lodge ([Dom Marije Terezije] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). After World War I, the Slovenian Hiking club took over the hut and renamed it the Aleksander Lodge ([Aleksandrov dom] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)). The hut was transformed to a border garrison [Karaula] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) for a while. In 1945, the Gorje Hiking Club ([PD Gorje] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)) renamed it to Planika Lodge at Triglav. In 1987, [Karaula] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help) was demolished and a bigger annex was built at its place on 19 August 1992.
