About this place
This small, cozy lodge is located in the Sauris Valley and is just over an hour’s walk from the town. Particularly impressive is getting there by mtb or e-bike. It is a family-run shelter, carried on by Miro and his wife Maria with the help of their son Antonio. It boasts a large terrace with a forest view, in which to enjoy local cuisine and products. Its location makes it particularly attractive because, on the one hand, it is surrounded by green forests while, on the other, it allows it to be easily reached from Sauris either on foot, by electric bike, or directly by car.

Miro and family
This lodge is run with love and dedication by owner Miro, spouse Maria and son Antonio. We were impressed by their dedication, values, respect for nature and the way they carry on this family business in an environment to be preserved.
Landscape
The landscape is characterized by mountains and green valleys covered with forests. A multitude of trails branch off in the surrounding area, allowing you to appreciate the beauty of the surrounding nature. The refuge is located exactly in the middle of four other valleys (including Tagliamento Valley and Pesarina Valley), making it an excellent base from which to explore this area of Friuli Venezia Giulia.
Not far away is Lake Sauris, a reservoir formed following the construction of the dam of the same name, completed in 1948. It is a striking stretch of blue water that makes the local landscape even more fascinating.

The Eimblatribm hut is an excellent base from which to explore the surrounding area thanks to several trails, including:
- Hinterdolbe Stables
Trail that provides an excellent view of Lake Sauris. It is entered by continuing on the forest road that passes near the hut. Past the Frumeibn Fork, at Hinterdolbe, we reach the area of the stavoli (typical stables). Walking time: about 2.15 hours

In addition to these special features, there are also the typical products of Sauris, especially speck and craft beer.
