The lodge Franko became a home away from home with the best group, cozy movie nights, hikes, lovely locals and many amazing memories. Be prepared for baby wipe showers, getting creative in the kitchen with very limited supplies, a not very long drop toilet and water rations. I walked/hitchhiked down to the city a couple of times for an adventure and much needed supplies (veggies, fruit, lentils, beans). Thanks Primos for a great experience!

I loved my volunteer time at the lodge Franko. We had an amazing team that shared the light load and got on well together. We became like a little family, cooking meals together with the little food provided and sometimes a bit extra that someone went to the city to get. We usually hiked down on a week day with each other making sure at least one or two people stayed at the lodge. It will be necessary to get some extra food for yourself as it is the basics that are provided. Water is refilled once a week so you have to be careful with usage. And showering may not be everyday and is with a bucket.

Had an amazing time at the lodge Franko I wish I could've stayed longer! The other volunteers were amazing and Primoz was a great host. He even drove us to da waterfall hike one day and it was amazing. the lodge has the best views and the most gorgeous sunsets. The work was quite simple serving guests drinks and food on weekends. It's like camping so don't expect running water haha (good luck in Valhalla) but it's all part of the experience. Met so many nice locals as well as travellers from all over. I loved my time here and would love to return!!

The place is wonderful, the views are excellent and the cabin feels like a refuge, the people I met made the experience even better, but definitely the star of the cabin is Max the cat :v
