How it works
Open the map. Filter by need. Sleep.
01
Open the map.
Every shelter, bivouac box and lean-to across Europe, in one view.
02
Filter by what matters
Walls, a stove, water nearby, no booking. Find the ones that fit your night.
03
Check what's known.
Source, condition, last reading — and what nobody has recorded yet.
How it stays true
We show our sources.
Places come from open data and local knowledge. Every fact carries where it came from — and when a fact isn't recorded, the map says so instead of guessing.
- Sources named per fact — OpenStreetMap, refuges.info, Wikimedia Commons, Copernicus.
- Unknown is a first-class answer, not a blank.
- Conditions change — always verify before you rely on it.
Free
All of it. For everyone.
Every shelter, every coordinate, every filter and the full trip planner — free, with no account required and nothing held back. Safety information for people sleeping in mountains belongs to everyone.
How Bivaq is paid for →Questions
Good to know.
Yes — all of it, for everyone, with no account required. The map, search, precise coordinates, water, current status, the legality overview, GPX export and the full trip planner. Nothing is held back and nothing is for sale.
Depends where. We map bivouac rules per region — source and date always shown. Slovakia now, more countries coming.
You fix it. Report a condition, a photo or a new spot. Every place shows where its data came from.
Mostly no, and the app tells you so instead of failing silently. Installed, it falls back to a page that says what is unavailable, and a few informational pages stay readable. The map, shelters, trails and trips all need a connection — no tiles or place data are stored on your device. Offline maps are not built.
