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); 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.
