Planinski dom na Boču

Planinski dom na Boču is a mountain hut (planinski dom) on the Ravni plateau on the western slope of Boč in eastern Slovenia, at an elevation of 659 metres, next to the small Church of St. Nicholas (sv. Miklavž) dating from the early 16th century. It is operated by Planinsko društvo Poljčane (PD Poljčane), the local mountaineering society, and functions as a hospitality and accommodation facility for hikers and visitors to the Boč massif. The hut is affiliated with the Slovenian Mountaineering Association (Planinska zveza Slovenije, PZS) system of mountain huts. The building offers two dining rooms with 100 seats and a serving counter, a meeting room with 30 seats, and sleeping capacity in 8 rooms with 15 beds plus two communal dormitories with 47 beds and 7 auxiliary beds. Facilities include toilets on the ground floor and upper floor, a washroom and shower with hot and cold water upstairs, central heating, running water, electricity and telephone. The hut holds two PZS certifications: "Okolju prijazna planinska koča" (Environmentally Friendly Mountain Hut) and "Družinam prijazna planinska koča" (Family Friendly Mountain Hut). Access is possible via numerous marked trails from Poljčane, Zbelovska gora–Lovnik, Rogaška Slatina and Makole, and also by asphalt road from Poljčane and from Kostrivnica. The hut serves traditional mountain food and is open year-round with seasonal opening hours; in winter it operates a reduced schedule. A comprehensive energy renovation of the hut was completed with co-financing from the European Union and the Republic of Slovenia (MGRT). The hut maintains a Facebook presence at planinskidomnabocu and is promoted through the PD Poljčane website.

Planinski dom na Boču is a mountain hut on the Ravni plateau on the western slope of Boč in eastern Slovenia, at an elevation of 659 metres. It stands next to the Church of St. Nicholas (cerkev sv. Miklavža), a small church dating from the beginning of the 16th century, which gives the location a long-standing significance as a gathering point on the mountain. The hut is operated by Planinsko društvo Poljčane (PD Poljčane), the mountaineering society based in Poljčane, and forms part of the network of mountain huts associated with the Slovenian Mountaineering Association (Planinska zveza Slovenije, PZS). The hut has served as a base for hikers exploring the Boč massif, which lies in the eastern part of Slovenia between the valleys of the Dravinja and Sotla rivers. Over the years it has been developed into a full-service mountain facility with two dining rooms (100 seats), a serving counter, a meeting room (30 seats), and sleeping accommodation in 8 rooms with 15 beds plus two communal dormitories with 47 beds and 7 auxiliary beds. Facilities include toilets on the ground floor and upper floor, a washroom and shower with hot and cold water upstairs, central heating, running water, electricity and telephone. A significant recent chapter in the hut's history is its comprehensive energy renovation, which was co-financed by the European Union and the Republic of Slovenia through MGRT (Ministry of Economic Development and Technology). This renovation modernised the building's energy performance while preserving its role as a mountain hut. The hut has also earned two certifications from PZS: "Okolju prijazna planinska koča" (Environmentally Friendly Mountain Hut) and "Družinam prijazna planinska koča" (Family Friendly Mountain Hut), reflecting its commitment to sustainability and to welcoming families. The hut is accessible by numerous marked trails from Poljčane, Zbelovska gora–Lovnik, Rogaška Slatina and Makole, and also by asphalt road from Poljčane and from Kostrivnica. It operates year-round with seasonal opening hours; in winter it follows a reduced schedule (closed Monday–Tuesday; Wednesday–Friday 08:30–17:00; Saturday–Sunday 07:00–18:00), with arrangements possible for closed groups and business rentals. The hut maintains a Facebook page under the name planinskidomnabocu and is promoted through the PD Poljčane website, where news and opening hours are published.
