Mariborska koča is a small mountain hut perched on a gentle plateau on the southern side of the Pohorje range, beneath Reški vrh (1142 m) and Ledinekov kogel (1182 m). It's the kind of quiet spot where you can slow down and enjoy the calm of the Pohorje forests.

The surrounding landscape is classic Pohorje - rolling wooded hills, open meadows and soft ridgelines that create a peaceful, unhurried atmosphere. In winter the area turns into a popular destination for skiers and snow lovers, while summer brings easy, pleasant walks through green forest trails.

How to get to the hut

• Regional road Hoče-Areh, turning right towards Bolfenk - drive followed by a short walk
• Maribor-Bolfenk gondola, then trail via Poštela and Bolfenk - approx. 3h, moderate difficulty

Practical information

• Managed by PD Matica Maribor
• 16 beds in rooms and 30 dormitory-style beds

Built in 1911, the hut was burned down during World War II - the current building stands as a reminder of the resilience of Pohorje's hiking traditions.
