Planika Lodge at Triglav

The Planika Lodge at Triglav (Slovene: Dom Planika pod Triglavom; 2401 m) is a mountain hut, which lies on the Ledine plains on the southern side of Mount Triglav. The First hut, also called the Triglav Tempe (Triglavski tempelj), was built on 18 September 1871. In 1877, the Austro-German hiking club built a hut called the Maria Theresa Hut (German: Maria Theresia-Hütte; Slovene: Koča Marije Terezije). On 13 August 1911, there was another building added called the Maria Theresa Lodge (Dom Marije Terezije). After World War I, the Slovenian Hiking club took over the hut and renamed it the Aleksander Lodge (Aleksandrov dom). The hut was transformed to a border garrison Karaula for a while. In 1945, the Gorje Hiking Club (PD Gorje) renamed it to Planika Lodge at Triglav. In 1987, Karaula was demolished and a bigger annex was built at its place on 19 August 1992.
