Iztokova koča pod Golaki

Iztokova koča pod Golaki is a mountain hut (planinska koča) in Slovenia, situated in the forest just above the forest road over the Strgarija pass on the south-western side of Mali Golak, the highest peak of the Trnovski gozd. It was built by Planinsko društvo Ajdovščina (the Ajdovščina Mountaineering Society) and opened on 10 September 1950. The hut is named after Ivan Turšič – Iztok (1922–1944), commander of the 30th Division of the NOV Slovenia, who fell during a German offensive near Lokev. The hut is a hospitality and accommodation facility for hikers and visitors to the Trnovski gozd, offering food and drink as well as overnight beds. In 2017 the hut was enlarged for the second time, with a sanitary unit including a shower added. The hut is listed among the mountain huts maintained by Planinsko društvo Ajdovščina, alongside Koča A. Bavčerja na Čavnu, and is presented on the society's official website. As a named mountain hut operated by a mountaineering society, it functions as a small hospitality brand within Slovenian mountain tourism.
