Storžič Lodge

Storžič Lodge

The Storžič Lodge (Slovene: Dom pod Storžičem; 1,123 meters or 3,684 feet) is a mountain hostel in the upper part of the Lomščica Valley, near the Jesenje Pasture in northwestern Slovenia. The first lodge was built in 1938 and was called the Verbič Lodge ([Verbičeva koča] Error: {{Lang}}: text has italic markup (help)); it caught fire one year later. It burned in 1941 when German forces attacked the Storžič Battalion. The current brown shingled hut was built in 1951.
