Zois Lodge at Kokra Saddle

The Zois Lodge at Kokra Saddle (; ) is a mountain hostel that stands on Kokra Saddle (), part of the Kamnik–Savinja Alps. It is named after the brothers Karl Zois (1756–1799), and Sigmund Zois (1747–1819).

The first lodge was built from wood in 1897 by the Austrian hiking club. After World War I it had to be rebuilt.

In 1966, it was expanded and connected via a ropeway conveyor to Konec in the Kamnik Bistrica Valley. The lodge operates from the start of June through the middle of October. The lodge offers Slovenian drinks, such as Cockta, and traditional dishes such as bujta repa.
