The Czech Lodge at Spodnje Ravni (Slovene: Češka koča na Spodnjih Ravneh; 1,542 meters or 5,059 feet) is a mountain hostel that stands on the Spodnje Ravni Cirque above the Ravni Combe (Slovene: Ravenska kočna) below the northern part of Mount Grintovec and Long Ridge (Slovene: Dolgi hrbet). It was built in 1900 by Czechs from Prague and is named after them. In the 1970s it was renovated, but the Czech architectural style remained.
The groundskeeper at the lodge, Tone Karničar, is a cousin of Slovenian extreme skier Davo Karničar.
