The Ribnica Lodge (Slovene: Ribniška koča; 1,505 m (4,938 ft)) is the highest mountain lodge in the Pohorje Mountains (northeastern Slovenia). It lies on a small plateau under Mali črni vrh in the central area of the Pohorje. The hut is open all year round. It is accessible by car from Ribnica na Pohorju. There is also a small ski resort with three surface lifts.
