The Ribnica Lodge (Slovene: Ribniška koča; 1,505 m (4,938 ft)) is the highest mountain lodge in the Pohorje Mountains (northeastern Slovenia). It lies on a small plateau below Little Black Peak (Mali črni vrh) in the central area of the Pohorje Hills. The lodge is open all year round. It is accessible by car from Ribnica na Pohorju. There is also a small ski resort with three surface lifts.
History
At the time of former Yugoslavia, a lodge was built at the site by the Maribor merchant Josip Hutter. It was burned down by members of the Partisans' Pohorje Battalion on October 8, 1942.[1][2] In 1949, hikers opened a new lodge at the same site.
