Youth Hostel Pod Skalo

Youth Hostel Pod Skalo can be found 300 meters from the center of Kamnik. This friendly hostel makes an ideal base for those wishing to explore the ancient city or for those who like to hike in a beatiful nature. We have the capacity for 17 guests in 8 newly furnished rooms. Each room has its own bathroom.

Pod Skalo is the name of the native house, situated close bellow the Northern slope of the Old Castle, and known for its hospitality since the 18th century. The building itself is some hundred years old and lies between the hill and the road leading across the Tuhinj Valley to Styria. The house, in which the wine used to be served and drunk, had different names in the past – Pri Joštu, Pri Jagru, Narodna gostilna Pri Skali pod goro, Pod skalco – the last giving the name to the nearby Kamnik sportsground with a swimming-pool, tennis courts, beach volley-ball area. At the beginning the building was a part of the Castle complex, but nowadays at least the fourth generation has been dealing with the catering trade, which always suited to the needs of the time.


Today the catering trade is running in the refurbished farm building with the pub and in the old modernized house, with the Chinese restaurant on the groundfloor and with 10 tidy rooms on the first floor and in the attics for the accomodation of 21 guests. From the parking place there is the shortest way to the Old Castle, where you can admire a gigantic old oak in diameter of nearly five metres.
