The hut is unfortunately abandoned and the area is neglected, but there are several tables and benches at the back to sit and have a snack.

It looks funny how all the trees have grown so crookedly. It's worth seeing what nature can do

Mountain lodge Schlosser's dom is located on the saddle between the peaks of Veliki and southern Mali Risnjak, on Schlosser's meadow. It is named after Dr. Josip Schlosser Klekovski, the first president of HPD and the founder of Croatian botany. On the ground floor of the house there is a kitchen, a duty room, a bathroom and a spacious dining room, on the first floor there are rooms with beds and in the attic a shared dormitory. The home is the property of the Republic of Croatia, and it is managed by the Risnjak National Park Public Institution. UNFORTUNATELY IT DOESN'T WORK!
