Dom pod Reško planino

Dom pod Reško planino is a mountain hut (planinski dom) in the northern part of the Posavsko hribovje, on the sunny slopes of Reška planina above the Savinja Valley in Slovenia. It is operated by Planinsko društvo Prebold (the Prebold Mountaineering Society) and serves hikers on the marked trails that radiate from Prebold and the surrounding villages. The hut is open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and by arrangement at other times. The building offers two dining rooms with 100 seats and a serving counter, plus 100 outdoor seats, a picnic area and a playground in front. Overnight accommodation is provided in several rooms: one room with 4 beds, three rooms with 5 beds each, one room with 8 beds, and a shared dormitory with 14 beds. Facilities include toilets on the ground floor and upper floor, two bathrooms and washbasins with hot and cold water. The dining rooms and rooms are centrally heated, and the hut has running water, electricity and a telephone. The current tenant is Boštjan Bezgovšek s.p. Contact details are listed on the official page: telephone +386 (0)3 57 24 723, GSM +386 (0)70 703 033, and a Facebook page under the name Dom pod Reško planino. Several marked trails lead to the hut, mostly easy and well marked: Prebold – Žvajga – Dom pod Reško planino (2 hours 5 minutes), Prebold – Rovšnik – Dom pod Reško planino (2 hours 15 minutes), Prebold – Šmiglova Zidanica – Dom pod Reško planino (2 hours 45 minutes), Marija Reka (Strgar) – Gradišče – Dom pod Reško planino (1 hour), and Mala Reka – Gradišče – Dom pod Reško planino (2 hours 15 minutes). The hut has its own history. According to the official account, construction of a school building began in 1890 and was completed two years later. The building housed a school kitchen and a teacher's apartment with two rooms, a kitchen, an entrance hall and a cellar. The chronicler described the rooms as very cramped, stuffy and damp, and complained especially about the dark teacher's apartment, which had only two windows facing the hillside. Because school equipment had not yet been made when the school was extended, the first teacher only began work on 1 October 1893. Poor construction of the school was the reason the local school council, with the help of the teacher and the residents of Reka, undertook repairs almost every year. This building later became the mountaineering hut known today as Dom pod Reško planino.

The history of Dom pod Reško planino is tied to a school building constructed on the site. According to the official account, construction of the school began in 1890 and was completed two years later. The building contained a school kitchen and a teacher's apartment consisting of two rooms, a kitchen, an entrance hall and a cellar. The chronicler described all the rooms as very cramped, stuffy and damp, and complained especially about the dark teacher's apartment, which had only two windows, both facing the hillside. Because school equipment had not yet been made when the school was extended, the first teacher only began work on 1 October 1893. Poor construction of the school was the reason the local school council, with the help of the teacher and the residents of Reka, carried out repairs almost every year. Over time the building was repurposed as a mountaineering hut, now known as Dom pod Reško planino, and it is operated by Planinsko društvo Prebold. The hut sits on the sunny slopes of Reška planina in the northern part of the Posavsko hribovje above the Savinja Valley. It is open on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays, and by arrangement. The current tenant is Boštjan Bezgovšek s.p.
