In autumn, the trees are dressed in a vivid palette of colors, so hiking is the most picturesque at this time, especially if it is accompanied by a beautiful autumn sun. At the end of a successful climb, you can refresh yourself in one of the huts or even spend the night there.
The mountain huts in the highlands close their doors in October, while the lower-lying huts have switched to a shortened autumn-winter season. Autumn visits to the mountains should be adapted to this, while at the same time paying attention to much more capricious autumn weather and even snow in some places. Visitors can find information about the opening of mountain huts on the PZS website koce.pzs.si.
