Chata Lajoška

Chata Lajoška (also known as Predná Holica Chalet) is located at an altitude of 908 metres above sea level, directly on the ridge of the Volovské Hills, part of the picturesque Slovak Ore Mountains. Its history dates back to 1914. Since then, the chalet has witnessed several significant events and undergone a number of renovations, with its most recent transformation beginning in 2020. Following an extensive restoration, it reopened in autumn 2023, offering visitors accommodation as well as tasty refreshments.

Lajoška is only 10.5 km as the crow flies from the edge of Košice, making it an ideal destination for a day trip or an extended weekend. It is open all year round and offers excellent conditions for hiking, cycling and, in winter, cross-country skiing. The chalet lies directly on the Košice Ski Route as well as the Trail of the Heroes of the Slovak National Uprising, Slovakia’s longest and historically most significant long-distance hiking trail, following the legacy of resistance and heroism associated with the Slovak National Uprising.

A particularly unique experience is an overnight stay in one of three modern glass cabins, built with the support of the Terra Incognita programme. These stylish cabins offer remarkable views of the night sky and surrounding forests, making a stay at Lajoška truly unforgettable.
