The hut is located in a shady spot with a northern view. Next to the hut is a water well. An ideal place for a short break.

This mountain is part of the Mia-Lubia-Matajur anticline, a transition area between the Southern Alps and the Dinarides, with sedimentary formations from the Lias (Jurassic) to the Upper Cretaceous, which were deposited between 212 and 65 million years ago. Due to its location (summit at 1641 m above sea level), alpine, Balkan and sub-Mediterranean flora meet and merge here. Above 1300 meters, the landscape offers wide, little-grazed meadows with natural primary herbaceous species that have grown after the removal of the original beech forests.

The bivouac is named after the fallen Italian soldier Giuseppe Zanuso. It is located in a sheltered bend directly on the trail. From here, a short climb through meadows leads to a small peak directly on the SLO/ITA border line with its boundary marker, from where you can enjoy a beautiful view of Slovenia and Italy.
