The Rifugio Nuvolau is (German Nuvolau hut ) is a refuge of the Cortina d'Ampezzo section of the Italian Alpine Club CAI in the Nuvolau group in the province of Belluno . The hut, which is usually open from mid-June to mid-September, has 24 beds.
location
The refuge is located on the summit of Monte Nuvolau at 2575 m slm in the municipality of Cortina d'Ampezzo in a very panoramic position. The Dolomiten-Höhenweg 1 leads past the Rifugio Nuvolau . Due to the location, all water has to be transported by cable car from the Rifugio Cinque Torri to the hut, which is why water has to be saved in the sanitary area at the hut.
history
The first hut on Monte Nuvolau was opened in 1883 by the Ampezzo section of the DÖAV . This made it the first managed hut in the eastern Dolomites. The construction was made possible by the generous donation of Richard von Meerheimb from Saxony, who had recovered from a serious lung disease in Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1881 and donated the money for the construction of a refuge thanks to the local DÖAV section. The hut Sachsendankhütte was named in honor of the noble donor.
In 1896 the simple hut was replaced by a larger building. After the Italian entry into the First World War in May 1915 , it served as accommodation for an Italian artillery observer , which was not hidden from the Austro-Hungarian army . However, since at the beginning of the war with Italy there were no corresponding long-range artillery in the vicinity, one had to wait for the arrival of the German Alpine Corps before the hut could be attacked and seriously damaged in the process.
After the war, the DÖAV hut was expropriated and entrusted to the CAI section Cortina d'Ampezzo, which rebuilt the hut between 1928 and 1929 and reopened it in 1930 as the Rifugio Nuvolau. As a result, the rifugio was expanded and modernized several times.
