Lodge at the Spring of Soča

The Lodge at the Spring of Soča (Slovene: Koča pri izviru Soče; German: Hütte an der Quelle des Soca) is a mountain lodge and hiking outpost situated at an elevation of 886 metres below the source of the Soča River in Trenta, Slovenia. It is a small, seasonal hospitality and shelter facility serving hikers and mountaineers exploring the upper Soča Valley and the Julian Alps. The lodge is managed by the Jesenice Mountaineering Association (PD Jesenice) and is maintained from 1 May to the end of October each year. The building was converted in 1953 by an Italian military unit and was later rebuilt and expanded. Today it offers a 24-seat dining area and a bar, along with accommodation in two rooms with 14 beds and a shared dormitory with 20 beds. It is accessible by asphalt road via the Vršič Pass to Zadnja Trenta, on foot from the Vršič Pass in about 1 hour 30 minutes, or from Log Čezsoški to Trenta in about 1 hour 15 minutes. The lodge serves as a base for tours to the source of the Soča River (10 minutes), Planina Zapotok (1,385 m, 2 hours), and Bavški Grintavec via Planina Zapotok (2,245 m, 5–6 hours), and it lies on the passage to Zavetišče pod Špičkom (2,064 m, 4 hours). As a mountain lodge, the property functions as a branded hospitality and shelter offering within Slovenia's alpine hut network, rather than as a conventional hotel chain. Its identity is tied to its location at the Soča spring and to its operation by a volunteer mountaineering association.
