History

Ambaritsa hut was established in the mid-1930s. The older of its two buildings was constructed in 1935–1936 and originally provided 52 beds. In the post-war period, a second, newer building was added between 1953 and 1960, increasing capacity by 58 places. Over time, the old building became uninhabited, while the newer building continues to serve visitors. The hut is situated northeast of Momina Mogila peak in the Troyan Balkan, a subdivision of the Central Stara Planina. It is documented in the 2012 guidebook "Планински заслони и хижи в България" (Mountain Shelters and Huts in Bulgaria), published by Panorama Group, Sofia. The hut maintains an online presence through a Facebook page and a webcam, and has a business website at ambarica.business.site.
