About
Bivak na prevalu Globoko sits at 1,828m on the Globoko Pass in the Julian Alps of Friuli Venezia Giulia. Approach from the Kobariški Stol trailhead (Slovenia side) in roughly 4 hours, or from Italy via the Predil Pass area in similar time. The route is steep and exposed in places; use a topo map and route descriptions carefully. This is mountain terrain, not a marked tourist trail.
The bivouac is a small emergency shelter with 2 beds and basic protection from weather. Expect no meals, no water, no facilities beyond four walls and a roof. You need to bring all food, water, and sleeping gear. The shelter opens year-round for alpine mountaineers, though winter access requires proper gear and experience. Check condition reports before heading out—maintenance is basic and weather can make the structure temporarily unusable.
Register your intended visit locally if possible. There is no booking system or guardian; treat this as a mountain rescue refuge for genuine emergency shelter only. Bring a headtorch, map, and full self-sufficiency. Do not rely on this shelter for planned overnight trips unless you have alpine experience and are prepared for minimal facilities and uncertain conditions.
