The Kamnik Saddle Lodge (Slovene: Koča na Kamniškem sedlu; 1,864 meters or 6,115 feet) is a mountain hostel located just below Kamnik Saddle (Kamniško sedlo), with Mount Brana to its west and Mount Planjava to its east, and the Kamnik Bistrica Valley to its south. On its north is a steep descent toward the Logar Valley, home to Rinka Falls.
The hut was first built in 1906, then rebuilt in 1983, and then again slightly modified in 2010.
