The Koča na Kokoši refuge (670 m) is a former border house on Jirmanec, a promontory overlooking the town of Lipica and from which you can enjoy a fair view of the Carnic and Julian Alps. The refuge takes its name from the nearby Mount Kokoš, just a few minutes away. In the surroundings it is possible to admire two boundary stones that testify to the feudal division of the time. A popular destination for Italians and Slovenians, the refuge is open all year round on weekends. It offers a fast catering service (jota and klobasa, gnocchi with goulash, mushroom soup) and a large open space for consumption. www.pzs.si/koce.php?pid=175

Not easy to find, I got there by chance trying to follow the path on the map which, however, often gets lost in the fields

Very little lake feeded by a nearby spring. Mountain bikers pay attention to the mud, the ground is always very slippery. There are some tables and benches to stay fresh and relax in summer eating a snack, but also many mosquitos whishing to do the same with you!
