Slavkov dom na Golem brdu

Slavkov dom na Golem brdu is a mountain lodge and hospitality venue in the hills above Medvode, Slovenia, roughly 11 km from Ljubljana and 4 km from Medvode, at an elevation of about 400 metres. The building itself was constructed by German soldiers during the Second World War and used as a guard post, because the border between Germany and Italy ran along the slopes of these hills. After the war it was taken over by mountaineers from Medvode, who named it after Slavko Čarman. Today the property functions as a family-run restaurant and inn, trading under the name Gostilna Belšak, which has operated in the premises since 1997. The restaurant serves home-style and seasonal Slovenian food, with an emphasis on warm starters and main courses prepared according to the day's inspiration or the guest's choice from the menu. The kitchen makes its own desserts and cured meat products, and signature dishes include roast veal shank, fried chicken and štruklji (rolled dumplings). Ingredients are carefully selected, and the venue also offers a range of local and regional wines to accompany the food. The location is deliberately secluded and peaceful, surrounded by nature, with many walking opportunities in the immediate vicinity. The inn is open every day of the week except Mondays and Tuesdays, from 11:00 to 20:00, including on public holidays, and opening hours can be adjusted for larger groups. Reservations are accepted in person or by telephone. As a small family enterprise, Slavkov dom na Golem brdu is not listed on any stock exchange and does not operate as a chain. Its identity is closely tied to the historic lodge building and to the Belšak family's cooking, making it a destination for hikers, day-trippers from Ljubljana and Medvode, and guests looking for traditional Slovenian mountain hospitality.

The building that houses Slavkov dom na Golem brdu was constructed by German soldiers during the Second World War and used as a guard post (karavla), because the border between Germany and Italy ran along the slopes of the surrounding hills.
