Poštarski dom pod Plešivcem is a welcoming mountain hut in the Pohorje range, tucked into a forest-edge meadow beneath Ravnjakov vrh, a shoulder of Uršlja gora. Built by postal workers from Slovenj Gradec in the 1950s, it carries a name that still reflects its origins.

The surroundings offer a peaceful, forested atmosphere with views opening only to the north and east - the south and west sides are enclosed by dense forest. From the hut you can spot the Selovec hill, Črneška gora, Košenjak, and a wide panorama of southwestern Pohorje stretching toward Dravograd. In summer it's a great base for day hikes, while in winter the wooded setting turns quiet and snow-covered.
