Description of mountain hut:
Mountain hut stands on Kopišča at the western end of the glacial cirque Ukanc. PD Ljubljana-Matica first established the mountain hut at Dom Savica, which was leased from a private owner in 1948. In 1951, they adapted a former Yugoslav border guardhouse and converted it into a mountain hut. Due to its proximity to the Savica waterfall, it became an important tourist stop; in 1970, it was renovated and its equipment modernized. In 1990, the mountain hut was renovated again and expanded, adding new beds. The mountain hut is open from the beginning of June to the end of September. In two dining areas, there are 40 seats and a bar counter; at tables outside the mountain hut, there are 40 seats; in rooms, there are 17 beds, and in a shared dormitory, 17 mattresses; WC, washroom, running water, electricity; the dining area is heated by stoves.

A view:From the mountain hut, we see walls and steep forested slopes, which close the valley from three sides. The forest on the eastern side prevents a view toward Lake Bohinj; on the southern side, the northern slopes of the Bohinj mountains rise toward Vogel; on the western side is the steep slope of the Komna plateau, and on the northern side, near the mountain hut, rise the steep walls of Komarča.
The mountain hut is open daily from 16 June to 30 September, in May and from 23 May to 16 June on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and for larger pre-announced groups also during the week.
