Planinski dom na Travni gori — the house surrounded by forest

Cozy apartments in the heart of the forest

Leave the city behind and find quiet on Travna Gora, a high mountain plateau above the Ribnica valley, covered in forest. Open meadows sit between the trees, the forest comes right up to your apartment, and the air still smells like forest, not traffic. Come to slow down, breathe deeply and explore a quiet corner of Slovenia few travelers ever find.

One house, many generations

Enjoy your vacation in a house that has welcomed travelers and explorers for almost 100 years — of course, with modern room comforts.

    A lodge on the mountain

    In 1927, the house opened as a planinski dom — a mountain lodge where hikers and travelers stopped to rest, eat, and warm up after a day on the trails.

    The ski years

    By the late 1960s the slopes below the house had become a small ski centre, with a lift and wooden bungalows — winter brought whole families up the mountain for the day.

    The house today

    Nearly a century later, the same house is still standing — lovingly restored with modern comforts, ready to welcome you for a stay you won't forget.

Cozy spaces, made for slow days

Warm, characterful rooms deep in the Slovenian countryside — forest all around and home-cooked food on the table.

A warmly lit apartment interior with wooden furniture

Rooms for every stay

  • Unwind in the wood-fired sauna — privately with family and friends, or shared with other guests.

Where we are, and how to get here

Tucked away on Travna Gora in Slovenia’s Notranjska region — close enough to reach with ease, far enough to feel like another world.

The easier way up the mountain

It is not about saving minutes — it is about a calmer drive. Take the marked route through Sodražica: it stays wide and well-kept the whole way up. The road further south, via Nova Štifta, is narrower and runs along a steep cliff edge, so we suggest leaving that one to the locals.
