Overview
Planinska koča na Krimu (also known as Planinski dom na Krimu or Dom na Krimu) is a mountain hut located on the highest peak of the Krim hills in the northern part of the Notranjska plateau, part of the Dinaric mountain system in Slovenia. The hut sits on Krim, a summit often called the "southern guardian of the Ljubljana Marshes" because it is visible from almost everywhere in Ljubljana and its surroundings. The peak is also home to a television transmitter and remains Slovenia's most important trigonometric point; between 1817 and 1828 it served as the starting point for the first land cadastre survey of present-day Slovenia. For about 20 years the summit was taken over by the former Yugoslav army and was inaccessible to visitors. After Slovenia declared independence, the Ministry of Defence leased the hut to the Podpeč-Preserje Alpine Society (PD Podpeč-Preserje), which continues to operate it. The hut is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists, offering panoramic views of the Ljubljana Basin, the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, and the Posavje hills. It is also known by the nickname "Ljubljana's weather prophet" because a cloud cap around the summit is said to forecast bad weather for the surrounding areas.
History
Planinska koča na Krimu is a mountain hut on the summit of Krim, the highest peak of the Krim hills in the northern part of the Notranjska plateau, which belongs to the Dinaric mountain system. Krim is often called the "southern guardian of the Ljubljana Marshes" because it is visible from almost everywhere in Ljubljana and the surrounding area. The peak has long been important for geodetic purposes: it remains Slovenia's most important trigonometric point, and between 1817 and 1828 it served as the starting point for the first land cadastre survey of present-day Slovenia. For about 20 years, the former Yugoslav army occupied the summit, making it inaccessible to visitors. After Slovenia declared independence, the Ministry of Defence leased the hut to the Podpeč-Preserje Alpine Society (PD Podpeč-Preserje), which has operated it since. The hut is recognizable by the television transmitter on the summit. It is a popular destination for hikers and cyclists, offering views of the Ljubljana Basin with Ljubljana, the Kamnik and Savinja Alps, and the Posavje hills. Rudolf Badjura, a Slovenian travel writer and the first ski instructor in Slovenia, called Krim the "Ljubljana Olympus," and the peak is nicknamed "Ljubljana's weather prophet" because a cloud cap around the summit is believed to forecast bad weather for the surrounding areas. In winter, when fog and low clouds often cover the Ljubljana Basin for weeks, Krim is the nearest place where visitors can enjoy sunshine.
