Ruše Lodge

The Ruše Lodge, or the Tine Lodge at Areh is a mountain lodge in the Pohorje Mountains, built by locals in 1907. It is open through the whole year.

History

Before World War II, three lodges – Ruše Lodge, Čander Lodge, and Planika, together with St. Henry's Church, formed a mountain resort. The lodges were burned during the war. The current lodge was built in 1946 and expanded in 1977. Due to the demand, a new Čander Lodge was also built.
