The Frischauf Lodge at Okrešelj (Slovene: Frischaufov dom na Okrešlju; 1,378 meters or 4,521 feet) is a mountain lodge that stands above the Logar Valley. It is surrounded by the following peaks: Cold Mountain (Slovene: Mrzla gora), Mount Styria Rinka (Slovene: Štajerska Rinka), Mount Carinthia Rinka (Slovene: Koroška Rinka), and Turska gora.
