About
The bivouac is a small, basic shelter with 2 beds total. It offers no running water, no meals, and no warden service—bring your own food, water, and sleeping gear. The hut is unheated. Use it as a staging point for early starts toward Krn or Stol, or as emergency shelter. PZS maintains the structure, but you're responsible for self-sufficiency here. The site is typically accessible from June through September; snow and exposure make spring and autumn crossings serious undertakings.
Book through PZS or PD Tolmin in advance if you plan to rely on the space. Phone ahead to confirm condition and bed availability—bivouacs fill fast during July and August. Bring a sleeping bag, mat, warm layers, and water containers. Solo or small-group mountaineers use this regularly; larger parties should scout alternatives on Krn or Stol.

Not walking in? These run in the same valley and are worth a day.
- Ljubljana: Savica Waterfall, Lake Bohinj and Lake Bled Tour 8 hours · from €80 · 4.9★ (1,417 reviews) The single best-reviewed way to see both lakes in a day, and the Savica stop is a real (if short and steep) 20-minute stair climb rather than a photo stop — capped at 8 people, so it books out.
- Ljubljana: Lake Bled and Bohinj Tour with Savica Waterfall 9.5 hours · from €94 · 4.8★ (1,014 reviews) Covers the same ground as the tour above on a bigger bus and a longer day, worth it mainly if the small-group version is sold out on your dates.
