Hiking
The bivouac is the most well-stocked I have ever seen. The most important information:
it has a kitchen with gas and tap water (not controlled), it has an external fountain, also not controlled. BE VERY CAREFUL, in winter there is no water, you have to either get it downstream, i.e. in Fenis, or use the water from the many streams (if not frozen) and boil it. It has a working stove and lots of wood.
It has blankets and pillows that can be used on each of the 20 bunk beds.

20 beds, blankets, stove, stove and firewood, water and toilet. The latter are not available in winter due to the risk of frost. There is also a photovoltaic panel for electricity which, however, does not operate at full capacity in the winter period, so equip yourself with a flashlight. From this summer there will also be a Radio Point for the rescue provided by the Civil Protection.

It used to be a sheet metal bivouac that has been replaced by this beautiful, well-furnished, unattended chalet. It's a good location for continuing toward Lake Glasier or Lake Medzove and then descending to hike around.
Continuing down the valley, you can see the Tersiva peak, already 3,500 meters high, on the right.
