The casera is part of the high-altitude alpine pasture system developed between the Middle Ages and the modern era to exploit summer pastures. Casera Ungarina is one of the lesser-known but most authentic alpine pasture structures in the Monte Plauris massif, and it well represents the traditional pastoral culture of the Friulian Prealps.

The Nischiuarch Alpine Hut is located in a beautiful grassy valley west of the mountain of the same name. Located at just under 1,200 meters above sea level, it is a convenient base at the eastern end of the long Musi mountain range. Completely renovated, the hut consists of two buildings: the one that is always open has a ground-floor room with a stove, table, bench, and adjoining cellar, while upstairs there are a couple of bed frames with mattresses. It can be reached from S. Anna di Carnizza in about an hour, or via CAI trail no. 739, Passo Tanamea, in the municipality of Lusevera, S.S. 646, in about an hour and a half. Useful Information - Water: Non-potable, but available depending on seasonal weather conditions - Beds: 6 - Wood-burning stove, some dishes, small pantry with basic necessities - Firewood: A small supply is available at the facility or easily found in the surrounding woods The facility also has 14 additional beds in the area reserved for recognized institutions and associations. Keys can be requested by emailing info@parcoprealpigiulie.it Shelters are a valuable asset to our area, providing hikers with a valuable base for trekking. When using them, it is important not to leave any traces of your presence, so we recommend: - Do not leave food easily accessible to mice and other animals; - Clean common areas; - Take all waste down to the valley. This facility is always open and unmanaged; maintenance is handled by the Park Authority with the essential contribution of local volunteers and all users!
