Bivak ob Počitniškem domu v Možnici

793m
Friuli Venezia Giulia, Italy
About
This small bivouac sits at 793m in the Možnica valley, in the limestone hills of northeastern Friuli Venezia Giulia near the Slovenian border. Reach it in 1.5 hours on foot from Počitniški dom v Možnici, the larger refuge just below. The approach follows marked trails through beech forest and karst terrain. This is a working base for climbers tackling the local rock routes and for hikers crossing between valleys.
The bivouac offers basic shelter—expect a simple structure with minimal amenities, no hot meals, and no running water. Capacity is roughly 6–8 people. There are no staffed facilities; treat this as an emergency shelter and overnight stop rather than a hut with services. Bring your own food, water, and a sleeping bag. The season runs roughly May to October, depending on snow and access conditions.
Check current access and conditions before heading up. Contact Počitniški dom v Možnici or the local CAI section for updates on the bivouac's status and maintenance. This is not a destination for comfort; it suits climbers and experienced hikers who need a high camp or shelter between longer routes in the region.
