This naturehouse is situated not far from the lake in the small and picturesque village of Mrzla Vodica in Gorski Kotar, on a hiking path just at the base of Mt Risnjak, one of Croatia’s seven national parks. The Lodge is surrounded by untarnished nature: with birch trees, a stream, small lake, a stunning view of the mountain, and plenty of peace and quiet. It is located a mere 800 meter from the main local road. You can spend the night in one of several pyramid-shaped huts, each one capable of hosting up to 10 individuals. The utilities such as toilets and showers are available in a separate cottage, while the electricity for charging your phones and tablets is provided by solar panels on site. They recommend you bring your own sleeping bags, but it is possible to additionally rent sheets and blankets if you should require.

This naturehouse is surrounded by the diverse and rich forests of Gorski Kotar where you can enjoy harvesting indigenous fruits and medicinal herbs such as elderberries, raspberries, blackberries, hazelnuts, wild strawberries, thym and more. Biking, walking and hiking trails lead to the nearby national park Risnjak. Local attractions include: boat rides on the nearby lake in Lokve, exploration of massive caves “Lokvarka” and “Vrelo”, hiking a mountain peak “Snježnik” and geomorphological reserves “Vražji Prolaz” and “Zeleni Vir,” the source of the Kupa river. Diverse flora and fauna, a variety of local delicacies, and a rich cultural heritage can all be reasons for you to visit Old Moms’ Lodge where we will warmly welcome you in the small town of Mrzla Vodica. During the hot summer months some of the most beautiful beaches in Kvarner are only a 30 minute drive away, and for a nearby refreshing swim, you can always go to the lake in Lokve.
