The Valentin Stanič Lodge (Dom Valentina Staniča) stands to the northeast below Begunje Peak (Begunjski vrh, 2,460 m), and the Planika Lodge at Triglav (Dom Planika pod Triglavom) stands to the south.

In 1909, the Ljubljana Matica Alpine Club expanded the hut and renamed it the Triglav Lodge (Triglavski dom).

In the early 20th century observations were carried out at Kredarica by a few university graduate meteorologists, with the intention of turning the meteorological station into an observatory.

[1] Due to the exceptional importance of the weather station at Kredarica, in the 21st century the Slovenian Armed Forces (SAF) have also become involved in meteorological observations.

In 2005, the Slovenian Ministry of Defence and Environment Agency (ARSO) signed an agreement on monitoring the weather, snow structure and avalanches in the highlands.

The SAF provides four meteorological observers and takes care of the helicopter transport of meteorologists to and from the weather station.

[2] Since the mountain hut is located within the bounds of a natural park, the surroundings do not vary much due to human causes over time.
