Hütte ober der Arichwand

Hütte ober der Arichwand (Slovene: Koča nad Arihovo pečjo; alternative name Koča na Bleščeči) is a mountain hut in the Karawanks, a mountain range in the Southern Limestone Alps in the Austrian state of Carinthia. It is the only shelter hut of the Slovenian Alpine Club Klagenfurt (Slovenski planinski klub Klagenfurt), a section of the Slovenian Alpine Association. The hut stands on the Rossalm (Slovene: Bleščeča), an alpine pasture at 1,080 metres above sea level, about two kilometres as the crow flies north-east of the Mittagskogel (Jepa/Kepa). From the hut, a marked hiking trail leads south-west to the Bertahütte at 1,527 metres, which belongs to the Austrian Alpine Club and continues on to the Mittagskogel or the Ferlacher Spitze (1,742 m). The hut serves hikers and mountaineers in this bilingual border region of southern Carinthia, where Slovene and German place names coexist. Its official website is hosted at planinci.at. The hut is a modest alpine refuge rather than a commercial hospitality chain, and it functions as a base for walks and climbs in the western Karawanks.

The Hütte ober der Arichwand is documented as the only shelter hut of the Slovenian Alpine Club Klagenfurt, a section of the Slovenian Alpine Association. Its Slovene name, Koča nad Arihovo pečjo, and the alternative name Koča na Bleščeči reflect the bilingual character of the Karawanks region in southern Carinthia. The hut is situated on the Rossalm (Bleščeča) at 1,080 metres above sea level, roughly two kilometres north-east of the Mittagskogel (Jepa/Kepa). A marked trail connects it south-westward to the Bertahütte at 1,527 metres, which belongs to the Austrian Alpine Club and provides onward access to the Mittagskogel or the Ferlacher Spitze at 1,742 metres. The hut is listed in Manfred Posch's 1997 guidebook Zauberreich Karawanken. Die schönsten Touren, published by Kärntner Druckerei- und Verlagsgesellschaft in Klagenfurt. Its official homepage is maintained in Slovene at planinci.at. No founding date, ownership changes, or commercial expansion are recorded in the available evidence; the hut remains a modest alpine refuge serving hikers in the border mountains.
