Celjska Koča is a mountain hotel, designed by young Slovene architects Lena and Tomaž Krušec with associates. It was built on the basis of the first-prize-winning design of a competition launched in 2004 by the City District of Celje in collaboration with the Architecture and Planning Chamber of Slovenia.

 

The area around Celjska Koča is a favourite excursion destination for the people of Celje, while in the winter months it turns into a small ski resort. It is situated 700m above sea level on a hilly plateau at the south edge of the Celje Valley. Celjska Koča is the third mountain hut built in the area.
