Architect Zdenko Strižić’s Kozjak restaurant was completed in 1949, designed low to the terrain with its main façade and terrace facing Kozjak Lake. Its original materials included local rock and wood. After falling out of use and collapsing following years of neglect, it was reconstructed from Strižić’s plan; the exterior keeps its historic character while the inside serves today’s café.

People use the café as a coffee-and-cake break after exploring the lakes, or as a place to pause when it rains. Service can be slow, and some visitors find prices high, so don’t count on a quick, cheap stop. It operates mostly seasonally despite being designed for year-round use; check that it’s open before planning around it.
