Zgodovina Češke koče pod Grintovcem je simbol dolgoletnega prijateljstva med slovenskimi in češkimi ljubitelji gora. Leta 1897 je bila v Pragi ustanovljena Češka podružnica Slovenskega planinskega društva (ČP SPD), ki je leta 1900 zgradila Češko kočo – eno najlepših planinskih postojank v Sloveniji.
Po prvi svetovni vojni je ČP SPD prenehala z delovanjem, kočo pa je leta 1949 prevzelo Planinsko društvo Jezersko. V sedemdesetih letih 20. stoletja so se češko-slovenske planinske vezi znova okrepile, vrhunec pa doživele ob praznovanju 90-letnice koče leta 1990, ki se ga je udeležilo 2500 obiskovalcev.
Danes se sodelovanje nadaljuje – s skupnimi srečanji, odprtjem Parka slovensko-češkega prijateljstva (2015) in ponovnim delovanjem Češke podružnice SPD (2017). Film in razstava Češka koča in češko-slovenska vzajemnost, katerih avtor je Ladislav Jirásko, obujata bogato zgodovino teh vezi. Leta 2024 je bil Ladislav Jirásko za svoje delo odlikovan z redom za zasluge Republike Slovenije.

Veleposlaništvo Češke republike v Ljubljani je v sodelovanju s Planinsko zvezo Slovenije, občino Jezersko in avtorjem razstave gospodom Ladislavom Jiráskom razstavo ob 125. jubileju pripravilo v želji, da počasti simbolni in zgodovinski pomen Češke koče kot kraja srečevanja dveh narodov v objemu gora ter spodbudi nadaljnje medsebojno razumevanje, prijateljstvo in sodelovanje v planinskem duhu.

The history of the Češka Koča hut below Grintovec symbolises the long-standing friendship between Slovenian and Czech mountain lovers. The Czech branch of the Slovenian Mountaineering Society (ČP SPD) was founded in Prague in 1897, and in 1900, they built the Češka Koča hut – one of the most beautiful mountain huts in Slovenia.
Following World War I, the ČS SPD ceased its activities, after which the Jezersko Mountaineering Society took over the hut in 1949. Ties between Czech and Slovenian mountaineers were strengthened again in the 1970s, culminating in the celebration of the hut’s 90th anniversary in 1990, which was attended by 2,500 people.
Today, cooperation continues through joint meetings and initiatives such as the opening of the Slovenian–Czech Friendship Park (2015) and the re-establishment of the Czech branch of the SPD (2017). The film and exhibition ‘Češka Koča hut and Czech–Slovenian Relations’, authored by Ladislav Jirásko, revive the rich history of these ties. In 2024, Ladislav Jirásko was awarded the Order of Merit of the Republic of Slovenia in recognition of his efforts.

To honour the symbolic and historical significance of the Češka Koča hut as a meeting place of two nations in the embrace of the mountains, and to encourage further mutual understanding, friendship and cooperation in the spirit of mountaineering, the Embassy of the Czech Republic in Ljubljana, in cooperation with the Alpine Association of Slovenia, the Municipality of Jezersko and Mr Ladislav Jirásko, the author of the exhibition, has prepared the exhibition to celebrate the mountain hut’s 125th anniversary.
