Kosijev dom na Vogarju

Kosijev dom na Vogarju is a mountain hut (planinska koča) situated on the Vogar plateau (Planina Vogar) in the Julian Alps of northwestern Slovenia, northeast of Stara Fužina and north of Lake Bohinj. It is a hospitality and shelter facility for hikers, climbers, and visitors to the Bohinj area, offering food, drink, and overnight accommodation in a high-alpine setting. The building is owned by the Slovenian Alpine Association (Planinska zveza Slovenije, PZS), the national umbrella organization for mountaineering clubs, and is operated by the Železničar Mountaineering Club (Planinsko društvo Železničar). The hut was originally converted from a former shepherd's hut in 1966 and was renovated and expanded between 1976 and 1985. It sits at an elevation of about 1,054 metres, a short walk from a viewpoint over Lake Bohinj. The hut is a popular base for walks and climbs to nearby peaks such as Vodični vrh (1,621 m) and Pršivec (1,761 m), and it is linked by marked trails to other mountain huts in the region, including Planinska koča na Vojah, Koča na Planini pri Jezeru, Bregarjevo zavetišče, and Planinska koča na Uskovnici. Access is possible on foot via marked red trails from several trailheads, or by a paid mountain road from Stara Fužina followed by a short walk. As a mountain hut rather than a conventional commercial brand, Kosijev dom na Vogarju functions as a named hospitality and shelter facility within Slovenia's organized mountain-hut network, and its identity is tied to the PZS system of mountain lodges.

Kosijev dom na Vogarju was established as a mountain hut through the conversion of a former shepherd's hut (pastýřská bouda) in 1966. The building, located on the Vogar plateau in the Julian Alps of Slovenia, was subsequently renovated and expanded between 1976 and 1985, giving it its present form and capacity. The hut is owned by the Slovenian Alpine Association (Planinska zveza Slovenije, PZS), the national mountaineering umbrella organization, and is operated by the Železničar Mountaineering Club (Planinsko društvo Železničar). It forms part of the extensive network of mountain huts, shelters, and bivouacs maintained across Slovenia for hikers and climbers. Over the decades, the hut has served as a base for visitors to the Bohinj area, offering accommodation and food at an elevation of about 1,054 metres. It is connected by marked trails to neighbouring huts and to nearby summits, and it remains an active facility within the PZS system.
